Winter Camp Cookoff in Colusa, California

I had intended to post a record number of articles last month (the 2007 record is 21 in July). It should've been an easy task. A number of pictures, including a few family pics from Thanksgiving, are lined up. Let's see if I can top that goal this month. So, after a 10-day hiatus, here's my first blog of December:

The 6th Annual Winter Camp Dutch Oven Cookoff will take place in Colusa, California on Saturday, January 19, 2008. I watched the event, which is set up under a large barn-like fairground shelter, in 2004 and cooked in 2005 with my son.

Unlike the picture, the ground won't be covered in snow. But the heavy fog, wet drizzle and bone chilling wind is promised. Several fire pits lined down the center of the pavilion will warm the body. Your job is to warm the soul with great tasting vittles!
