Recall the thunderous applause that greeted Castle Rock Fire Commander Jeanne Pincha-Tulley as she entered the hall at a fire information meeting just the other day. Maybe this was a natural extension of the shared love, reciprocation for the heroesque welcome. You know, "come on by the camp, bring the kids and cameras, but oh wait, be sure to wear comfortable shoes and bring your appetite"!

Breaking: Firefighter Blog has been tipped to the probable menu for the Tour and Reception!
Menu selections to may offer a simple selection of appetizers including;
Pate` and Cracker Assortment
Duck Liver, Forest Mushroom and French Truffle Pates
are featured with a complete array of
Stone Creek Hearty Rye, Toasted Sesame, and Whole Grain Crackers.
Prosciutto Wrapped Melon Wedges
If there were two ingredients that were made for each other these
are them, fresh melon wedges are wrapped with thinly sliced
imported Italian prosciutto ham.
White Boudin with Honey Creole Mustard Dip
Fresh boudin sausage is grilled, then sliced into balls
and served with our honey creole mustard dip!
Featured dish!
Stuffed Grape Leaves
The Greeks yell, Opah! When they are excited and having a good time. (which they are not right now sadly)
Our stuffed grape leaves are made with currants,
dill weed and pine nuts.
Then drizzled with olive oil and fresh lemon juice. Opah! Opah!
Follow this down with a sampling of regional wines from Idaho's own Snake River wine region.
*A moment of silence followed with a tip of our wine glasses to the East aimed at our friends in Greece who actually had homes and villages burned to the ground, will be observed before the guided portion of the tour begins.
A word of caution: Please do not bother the people you see walking around with dirt and ash on their faces, hands, cloths and uncomfortable boots. We apologize in advance for their appearance. We tried to arrange this tour at a time when camp is at its quietest (when we like it best) but this is a working camp and interruptions by the camp inhabitants should be expected.
Again our apologies.

I bit my tongue hard the other day for a number of reasons and still am. Many of you who read this blog certainly have your own opinions on the underlying issues here. I don't need to spell them out.
