Return from Camping & A Recipe

Hello all!

My husband and I went to CMA's Beltane festival. It was a lot of fun, although it rained pretty much all day Thursday and Friday. Saturday was mostly clear, with a few spots of rain and Sunday was practically perfect. So, at least the weather had a continuous improvement.

I had never been to a pagan festival before, so it was an interesting experience. I really got a kick out of (for 4 short days) knowing that I wasn't a minority in my beliefs, that alone was relaxing and calming. I really enjoyed the food...the group I was camping with are all very food-focused and every meal was wonderful. Each family/couple in the group was responsible for making one dinner and one breakfast; my husband and I made hot dogs and mac n' cheese for our dinner and french toast with turkey bacon for our breakfast. I spent time the week before the camp-out adapting my french toast recipe for camping. I really enjoyed the recipe and will share:

Renny's Camping French Toast
2 Cans Evaporated Milk (total of 22 oz.)
1.5 Cups Water
1/3 Cup Meringue Powder
1/4 Cup Cinnamon
2 tbls. Syrup (I used' Cary's Sugar Free)
30ish Slices of Bread

Stir the Evaporated Milk, Water, Meringue Powder, Cinnamon, and Syrup together until very well combined. Heat a skillet lightly coated in oil to a medium-low heat. Dredge the bread slice in the Milk mixture coating both sides and shaking off the excess. Set the bread in the pan and fry on both sides until golden brown. Serve warm-hot with Syrup.

Will feed 12 hungry people.
