For the last week, I was in Jackson, Wyoming, with my in-laws on a family vacation. Every year my father-in-law, Hall Crannell, arranges travel and lodging for 15 or more family members. The Crannell family is a very frugal bunch--as evidenced by my wife's blog Miser-Mom. We ate meals together every day, taking turns cooking dinner. Hall cooked most of the breakfast meals, and lunch was leftovers and cold sandwiches. I cooked hamburgers and hot dogs for my turn. Other nights were salmon and stroganoff (a little weird I know--it was a request), pasta, and other fare for fifteen folks.
Now I am back to playing Army. More tomorrow.
