Menu planning completed!
Yesterday Paul and I got together and planned this year's menu. We made only a few changes from last year.
Last year we decided that although we like pancakes they make a terrible mess and the clean up is a real pain. So this year we will do Filled French Toast instead. This will be two slices of french toast with a carmalized Banana / Pineapple / Rum filling. This will be served with Bacon.
I mentioned that I loved dumplings when we put them in a stew several years ago, so we decided to change the Chicken with Peanuts dinner to Chicken with Dumplings.

Reservation Letter Sent
I completed the Baxter reservations letter yesterday (Monday January 27th) and mailed it to the Baxter Reservation Clerk this morning. In the letter I asked for the following days (in order of preference):
- Choice 1: Arrive Monday September 8th and depart Saturday September 13th - One large tent site.
- Choice 2: Arrive Monday September 8th and depart Saturday September 13th - Two adjacent tent sites (perhaps sites #18 & #19?).
- Choice 3: Arrive Monday September 15th and depart Saturday September 20th - One large tent site.
- Choice 4: Arrive Monday September 15th and depart Saturday September 20th - Two adjacent tent sites.
Now we wait and see what happens.
