Peach Crisp

One cool thing about going to Travis' garden is that there is also a "secret" garden right beside it hidden amongst a forest ring of bamboo trees. It's pretty sweet. And this is the entrance.

We go here when we want to build a bonfire and roast mallows, hotdogs, and just relax. This time, we thought we'd test out Trav's new dutch oven I got him for his birthday that I really just got for myself, which he now knows =) It's a lodge dutch oven/skillet that I purchased on Amazon.com for 30 bucks and I love it! You can also use the lid as a skillet.

Anyway, we decided to make peach crisp. I had never made it before, and actually just used tips from several different recipes. So in a sense, I kind of made up my own recipe. BOOM. Now the first few pictures for the directions start at the garden, until two hours passed and we were unable to start a fire (Travis never graduated Boy Scouts) and it started raining. Soooo, we packed up and I finished it here in our apartment. It still turned out great!
