2012 Central Pennsylvania Festival of the Arts

It’s Arts Fest and my parents came to visit and yesterday we spent the day exploring the booths and the other festivities.

Mountain Pies

It’s been a busy couple of days.

We were in Philadelphia for less than 24 hours to see these guys.

Can you tell that’s The Edge, Bono and Larry Mullen Jr. especially blurry in the back?  Well, it is.

And then we were back home waiting for friends for Arts Fest.

After a day of walking around, we went to Jenn’s for another fun outdoor feast. This time we made mountain pies over her fire pit.

First we had some salad.

We almost had an equipment failure.

But Jenn’s neighbors let us borrow their pie irons.

We had a variety of cheeses – mozzarella, Mexican blend and Swiss (I think).  We also had pizza sauce, salsa, sauerkraut, thousand island dress.  And we had the cheapest white bread possible (that’s what Jenn requested and that’s what we got – $.99 at Giant).

I made my first one a pizza kind.

YUM!

I made my second one a simple six cheese (the Mexican blend and mozzarella). But other popular combinations last night included the Mexican cheese and salsa and the corned beefless ruben – sauerkraut, thousand island dressing and swiss (I think). We’ve made them before with many other great fillings too.

And we made s’mores for dessert with both traditional Hershey chocolate and Nutella to choose from. Dinner over the fire is wonderful!
