Cooking With Biker Chics

I can’t believe how long it’s been since I updated my blog. Sorry I bet I’m the only one out in cyber space that has ever gone stagnant. Any way and oh well, life goes on. I wish I could tell you that this whole time I have been riding my bike across country. But I can’t I have been so busy working and keeping up with messed up economy that My Dyna sits in the garage dreaming of shiny fenders and bugs on her head light. Well there is good news around the corner, Labor day is all but here and my work will come to a manageable pace. My husband and I are headed to Cotopaxi Colorado for a vacation. We plan on setting up a trailer on our new property so next year we can ride and have a place to hang our helmets. Baby steps I keep telling Jerry so we don’t go in further debt. This Island is getting so expensive to live we plan on making Colorado home and ride our motor cycles down every road a hand full of times. So long for now I’ll keep waving even if from my truck.

I don’t know about you but I’m getting depressed. Now hold on, I realize I have turned into a fair weather rider these pass few years, actually ever since I turned 50 but that shouldn’t be held against me. So I find this spring to be very depressing this year. One day at a time of good weather. When I say good weather I mean temperature above 40 degrees and no rain. Tomorrow (Saturday)high 60’s with sunshine, Sunday rain high 40’s. Come on Mother nature what gives. Have we madden you to point of pure torture with our lack of compassion for Earth. I do believe it is Earth Day today and as for myself and others we have vowed to protect our wonderful plant one plastic bottle or bag at a time. It is a start, patients along with smiles and warmth will give us the strength to carry on. So what do you say maybe a full week -end of you warmth and smiles, and if you have any influence lower gas prices. Ride on my friends I’ll keep waving just in case it’s you.

I just received an e-mail and what I saw ticks me off and it will you also. Go to http://www.snopes.com/photos/politics/mexicoflag.asp
thank you redbeard for bringing this to my attention, I hope we all stand up for our flag and country and do what we can to prevent this from happening again. It appears to me these kids need a lesson on freedom and what the stars and stripes stand for.

Where does the time go here it is almost Spring. I have been so busy this winter finishing my next book that time got a way from me. I am in the process of Copy Writing “Open Road Cooking” I had plan on naming the next book Off road cooking but decided to change it. As I got closer to the finish I realized that this book belongs to everyone on the road. Just because my passion is riding my Harley there is lot of others that share the road with different passions. All that can benefit from my new book. Open Road Cooking is a how to book about cooking on an open flame, Dutch ovens and introduces my style of Tail Pipe Cooking (cooking right off your motor cycle). I spent a lot of time camping when I was younger and also when my kids was little we went camping all the time. As a single Mother it was the cheapest entertainment raising three children. I often wonder why it cost so much these days. I think the last camp out I attended cost me about $200.00 bucks, for a week-end. What was I thinking, sure it cost more in gas to get there but once your there everything is the same. That is when I decided to go back a few years to a time when camping was camping. We have all seen the commercial “Blue Tarp Camping” that make me laugh every time I see it. That is just how our camp used to look like. Willow fishing was top on our list to do right after we set up camp.
Open Road Cooking is a step back in time, when things were simpler and everyone seemed to laugh louder. I hope you will have the opportunity to enjoy nature this year. On second thought grab a blanket and a pillow and sleep in your back yard this summer. You’ll be amazed how good you sleep.

The weather has been so nice this past week that I got the fever and changed my oil in my bike and took it for spin. I never left the Island but it was still good to get the wind in my hair. I think I’ll need new tires this year, so I’d better start looking for the best for my money. I like Dunlap they seem to last longer, when I had my old Iron Head I always put Avon on it just because they were so sticky. Any suggestion? what do you ride?
