I’ve been 30 years in California and am moving to North Carolina in July. It’s got my mind refocusing on things like…visiting Baltimore and the American Visionary Art Museum for the first time..visiting New Orleans more often to see mom…and hiking and canoeing, especially canoeing. Peter Doig’s canoe paintings are so lush. So, all this canoe talk made me think of my favorite camping recipe…

Bring a box of Bisquick. Break a branch off a tree and
using your pen knife scrape off the bark until you get to the green part. Add water to Bisquick. Form dough around bottom of stick.

Cook over campfire. It will contract and fall easily off stick. Fill with jelly. Eat. Be a satisfied outdoorswoman. Lets call them Jelly Sticks.
