The wonderful thing to me about living in campgrounds or rv parks is as you travel, you find favorite places that you end up coming back to whenever you are in that part of the country. You  see a lot of the same friends as they come and go, mixed in with new people that end up becoming friends and a part of you little community. You are able to stay in touch through email correspondence or mobile phone text or voice messages. Inevitably at these gatherings you end up finding out about new Ideas in camping, , cooking, and various drink concoctions. Last Wednesday night was a perfect example.
The space that we are parked in is right across from the campfire pavilion (convenient right )where everyone gathers from time to time to sit around an old washing machine tub made into a fire pit. On this particular evening there was an exceptionally large group around the campfire. A lot of laughing and talking going on so naturally being the nosy couple that we are we hustled over to see what was happening. When asked one of the people said we are cooking wong dongs, why they called it that is beyond me, but after further investigation we learned that they were making biscuits on a stick. So here is how it is done. You get biscuit dough in a can the kind that you hit on the edge of a table and the dough pops out,you separate the individual biscuits and work them onto a dowel at the end of a stick. You then hold the stick over the fire until the biscuit is golden brown.  Let it cool for a minute or so then pull it off of the stick and fill the hole with any kind of goody you can think of , the sky is the limit. We were filling ours with fresh cut fruits and berries and some cool whip on top. They were amazingly good and  fun to make while gabbing with each other around the campfire. I am sure that there are many people out there in camping land that know about this ritual and have been doing it for years, but it is something that was brand new to us. If it is new to you and you want see a video on how it is done you can go to you tube video If you have never done this before give it a try its really a lot of fun. If you have kids they will love it. If you don’t want to spend much money you can make your own stick for little or nothing. Home depot or Lowes has dowels in various sizes and lengths for a couple of bucks then just find a stick or pole to attach it to. The ones we were using had poles made from old golf clubs with the club head removed and the dowel attached to the end. Some were made using an old broom stick. Needless to say it is something that we will be bringing to rallies and camping functions that we attend now that we know the process. So let the campfires burn and the good times roll. Happy trails
