Cooking.......It Is My Destiny.

I have been able to cook almost as long as I can remember...same with driving. And it seems like I have spent much of my time here on earth driving or cooking. Now I am driving to cook.

Big tired sigh.......

So I have a new job. A new lease on life. A vocation for all to envy. Wanna hear?

I am a Ranch Cook. But you say....RanchWife..I thought you were a ranch cook? Well I was when the boss said cook I cooked. But not full time. And not for very much pay...am embarrassed to say what they paid. A lesser person would have thrown down Allsups corndogs and a glass of water for what they paid..But not I. They never once ate a corndog at my house. Never.

Anyway...In a round about way..isn't that how everything in life happens...in round about ways? I was approached about being a relief cook at a large ranch near where we live. I was excited and was up to it. I need out of this house. I need out of town. I need to see the wide open spaces. To feel dirt crunching under my tires.You get the picture.

Well before I had even did my relief cooking once the job became a full time cooking job! Oh my! So this morning I awoke at 3:45 am....did you catch the am part? Have I ever mentioned I am not a morning person....left the house at 4:20 drove 20 miles then finished up 7 1/2 miles of dirt road. Arriving at 5:00 am sharp....AM Folks.

Yes I had to gather wood for the fire. Milk the cow, gather the eggs. Slaughter a beef. And make bread all before the sun rose over the hill.

Not hardly.

Folks if a body has to rise before the sun. Drive the lonely road alone. And at the end is a bunch of ornery cowboys waiting for a meal...this place isn't so bad.

Just a little sitting area....

 

Another cozy little nook.

 

 The long long table....

 

Looking the other way.

If I were a Queen this would be my throne!

 

 

And a nice place to take a rest and ponder life.

 

 

 

Sad isn't it.

 

 Happy Trails and God Bless
