February 19, 2022 - Pie Iron Cook

Saturday afternoon was the Audrey Street Pie Iron Cook. Dave and I got the charcoal started as the participants began to arrive. The ladies brought lots of ingredients to make many combinations of pie iron sandwiches, including dessert fillings. Here is a picture of the charcoal pit with some pie irons getting hot. Every person was in charge of filling his/her own pie iron with ingredients and monitoring its cooking.

This cut off barrel is what we had for a pit. It worked but the pie irons had to be pointed down into the charcoal making it difficult to get the pies evenly cooked. I'm going to find a different kind of grate for this event next year so that the pie irons can just lay on top of the coals.

Here are a couple more pictures, one showing our canopy covering most of the fixings to keep them out of the sun. It was a beautiful day. Everyone enjoyed the activity with many staying and visiting into the late evening.

We counted about forty folks in attendance so it was quite a success. Actually, all the activities we have that involve food or drink seem to be quite successful. LOL
