Dinner with Cliff and Carlene

I guess I'm losing my touch here..............we took off for dinner with friends, I with my camera, as usual. Left the camera on the picnic table outside...... came home with the camera and NO picture!

But Thursday evening we hooked up again with Cliff and Carlene; this time at their site here in Peace River. Tonight Cliff was cooking pork roast on the charcoal grill. Actually two small pork roasts; one barbecue and one lemon pepper. Carlene left explicit instructions for Cliff that the roast could be cooked on the grill, but she did NOT want it smoked! Smoked means you don't close the hood. Now - in order to get the roast cooked in the amount of time Carlene insisted it would be done it was necessary for Cliff to CLOSE the hood. All but once - he did a really great job without getting caught!

We arrived there about 4:00, shared a adult beverage and ordeorves while dinner was cooking. The weather has been absolutely gorgeous the past several days. Even this evening was quite pleasant, but the wind was pretty gusty. So we decided to move indoors. (OK Cliff - she's inside! You can close the hood!!)

Dinner was excellent! The pork roast, with a side of applesauce was moist and tender. Accompanying the meat were buttered baby white potatoes, beans, slaw, fruit salad and a delicious five grain Italian bread. After dinner and dishes we chatted over Hawaiian Coffee and dessert - Boston Cream Pie and Rich's homemade potato candy.

Always so much fun meeting up with these two.
