AZ Bill's BBQ had a busy weekend~

Bill did a BBQ on Saturday at the Clendenin Fire Station. It was hosted by West Virginia American Water, our new water utility in town. It went very well!


Then on Sunday he did a pig roast as a benefit for the WV Sei ei Kan karate school on Main Street. They have several peoplewho have qualified to go and compete in the Ireland Cup!
Congrats to them!

Apple Butter Time

On our way to soccer and other Saturday activities a couple of weeks ago, we happened upon an interesting sight in Elkview, WV, about 8 miles from us. Some older gentleman were making apple butter. Check out the very large, 30 gallon copper lined kettle and homemade wooden stirrer. It bubbles over the edge so you need to be far enough not to get burned! There were 4 men taking turns stirring it and they cooked it for about half the day. We chatted with them for a little while and they were happy to let me take some pictures- they said I wasn't the first to ask. :o)
Bill is a big fan of old time and slow cooked food and this really made his day. Thank goodness for those who strive to keep traditions alive in our fast paced world.
