Because I was out setting fires, I totally blew last Friday's Teardrop Photo.
In the high desert, this time of the year is burn season. This means our
county gives us seven days to gather up and burn downed tree branches,
yard waste, leaves and pine needles and dead sagebrush. It tends to
really pile up over the winter, and burn season is a time of celebration
and major yard cleanup in order to keep a defensible space against
wildfires.
Of course, this type of hard work doesn't get done without the incentive of having a party. Since burning can be hard and dangerous work, you need help. Each year, we get together with our neighbors to burn collective waste, and celebrate afterwards with a coal fired Dutch oven breakfast.
Teardrop trailers and Dutch ovens go hand in hand, so it's nice to be able to break out the Dutch ovens from winter storage and season them up before taking them on the road. We usually make a Mountain Man breakfast, which comes from
Outdoor Cast Iron Cooking's channel and
cornbread or cornbread pudding with bacon and sausages. Of course, we always have hot coffee and Mimosas with orange juice and champagne.
