I haven't written much lately and I'm sorry for that but Im doing well and work has been crazy! I was hired in a "part time" position at Callahan's Lodge in Ashland Oregon and have been putting in 50+ hour weeks for the past 8 weeks and Im darned tired when I get home. What happened to "part time"?
Anywho, As the director if the Rogue Dutch oven Cooker's Chapter of IDOS things in Southern Oregon are crazy when it comes to Dutch oven cooking. Feb 19 at 4 pm at Sportsman's Warehouse in Medford the Chapter is having a DOG and I am teaching a 3 hour class.
March Im traveling to Redding, Ca for the Nor Cal Sports and Rec. Show Annual Dutch oven cook off and hoping to bring some chapter members with me to compete as well.
April isn't planed yet but in May on the first weekend, we have 2 events planned. One is a DOG at the Butte Creek Mill in Eagle Point, Oregon beginning at 8 am for the Vintage Fair. The second in Klamath Falls is a Dutch oven cook off with classes and demos all weekend at the Klamath County Fairgrounds with the High Dessert Trail Riders Chapter of Back Country Horsemans Assn. Both are free events to attend but the big draw is the 3 pot cook off in K Falls. the winners go to SLC for the world championship dutch oven cook off in 2012.
June is the Carson City Rendezvous Dutch oven cook off. We all know what a great event that is and Ive been told by my employer I will have the time off to be there. (lets see)
More to come later for the second 6 months of the year but things here in southern Oregon are awesome!

Zinfully Creamed Fingerling Potatoes
This is my version of a dish prepared at the Cast iron chef challenge at the WCC in Sandy , Utah last week. There was no recipe from the chef but the flavors are spot on from his original version. ENJOY!
1 lb. each purple, red and golden fingerling potatoes
1 to 2 Tbs. olive oil
1 ½ to 2 c. heavy cream
¼ tsp. whole lavender, crushed
1/8 to ¼ tsp. fresh ground nutmeg
Quarter fingerling potatoes lengthwise into wedges. Spread oil around bottom of a 10” Dutch oven. Add potatoes to the Dutch oven then pour just enough cream over the potatoes to barely cover the top of the potatoes. Sprinkle the crushed lavender and nutmeg evenly over the cream. If you want a more savory dish sprinkle with a pinch of fresh ground black pepper but, try it without the pepper the first time you prepare this, you may not want to add the pepper.
Take a 12” square of parchment paper and fold it in half from corner to corner to make a triangle the, fold the triangle in half to make a smaller triangle and fold a third time in half. The folding should be from point to middle making a smaller triangle each time. Take the triangle and place the point over the center and place the edge on the circumference of the Dutch oven. Trace and cut the outer edge then cut straight across the center point to make a small hole in the center. Unfold the triangle and you should have a rough circle piece of parchment. Place the parchment gently on the top of the cream and potatoes to prevent a skin from forming on the surface of the cream. Cover and simmer using 8 coals under and 11 coals on top, for 25 to 30 minutes. Remove parchment and serve. Cream should be slightly thickened. Serves 6 to 8
