Camp Champions

My final full day was spent relaxing at Camp Champions/TOS. Mads and I woke up late, and headed to camp and took part in some archery. Yours truly was the victor (of course), then we headed to the Filling Station. The Filling Station, is basically the mess hall for everyone on camp, employees and campers alike. Since this weekend was "Family Weekend" some alum of the camp stopped by to help prepare the meals for everyone. This is where I got to meet Joe. I don't know his last name so Joe it is. He used to be a counselor for the camp and he left to get an education in the culinary arts. He was just the man we were looking for when it came to making food. Mads and I were able to sample some of his wares he made for dinner last night, smoked chicken and beef brisket. OH MY AGAH!!!! It was sooooo good. If this is what his left overs taste like, we couldn't wait for dinner tonight!! On the menu, carnitas that is double fried and marinaded in orange juice and Coca-Cola and fish marinaded in lime juice and some other secret ingredients. It was one of the best taco experiences I had ever had. Also, one of the staff of the Filling Station, Inez, made a plethora of her world famous homemade salsas. Let me tell you I was spoiled. Salsa from now on will never taste as good as hers. It was so hot and yet very flavorful. Amazing.

After dinner and a few Sangritas (Sangria mixed with frozen margaritas), we headed back to Mads trailer and chillaxed with some of her co-workers. It was yet another amazing night. This past week was probably one of the most jam packed weeks I have ever experienced and I wish I could do it again. It was simply a perfect week. I hope everyone has enjoyed my blogging even though I got some feedback I was a little long-winded. I'm sorry but when you experience such an action packed week, you want to remember every detail so you can look back and realize how awesome it truly was. I hope to keep this blog going with various posts here and there. If I visit a new restaurant or have a funny story to tell i'll put it up here. Anyway, thanks to those who read it and thanks to those who will in the future. Peace!
