A Cowboys life on the Trail was hard, but even tougher
was the job of the Camp Cookie..
His job was to drive the Chuck wagon ahead, gather
fuel for the fire, prepare dinner and keep the coffee
going for the crew.
No one wanted the job,so it was agreed that the "cookie"
would be selected by the first cowpoke to complain about
the food!
One night, the cowboys sat on the ground eat'n their beans
and one bit down and broke a tooth!
*Ouch! "COOKIE YOU PUTT'N ROCKS IN YUR BEANS NOW?"
*THAT does it! a Complain'n whine'n porkeat'n pilgrim..."
said the cook-
YOU DO IT- I QUIT! ...and have that right<G>
Thus another helpless Cowpoke was drafted to the thankless task.
Everyone was glad it wasn't them..wooooshhh..woo-weee..
*This Cowboy had a work'n brain anah' hatched ah... *sinister plan.
His Idea made him giggle with de-light..
and in the days to come, he enjoyed rideing the chuck wagon
for a change, and that led to serching the chuck box for new
ways to cook trail stew and rump roast<G>
As the days went by.. the Cowboy enjoyed the sunshine and watch'n
the pararie flowers, and arriveing early he often took a deserved
snooze on the crews bedrolls stuffed in the wagon...
He could rest easy, because he had a *plan..
The riders would come in and they knew that this cookie had
taken to the job! Things were gitt'n better and the food had flavor!
Cookie even tok to makeing up hot pies, biskets and such, so that
shortly it was the highlight of the day to come to camp fer a HOT MEAL!
*All of this was in "the plan"<G> (Hehehehe..)
Then the day came for Cokkie to cook up a "Little surprise"..
He had been watch'n the flowers and noticed some "sign" of
passing Moose coming off the yonder Mountians..
He stopped and scooted a fair amount of this "Moose scat"
into a bucket, and it looked all the world like 'some kind
of wild berry fruit<G>
That afternoon set him to rolling out all the flour dough
he could find and got several pie pans out and made the
filling this "treasure" that he had found!(Heheeee)
He worked and cut strips to criss-cross the tops, fired
up the dutch oven's and stacked them high! *Boiled up
gallons of hot coffee and got that go'n..
>From a distance the Cowboys saw his activity and it made
their mouths water.. *I wonder what'en Tarnation.. he's do'n!
"Boys, I think he's takeing the plunge and gone ALL OUT today!"
"Oh yes.. I can smell that cook'n out here, and it's going to be
GOOOOOD Eat'n tonite!"
The word went out and the crew came in at a gallop..
As they settled down.. *Cookie raised his big spoon
and said to the crew...
"BOYS! Here's a little treat I came up with along the way...
(yuck-yuk) *I'm ah calling it MOOSEBERRY PIe and thar's
plenny for all of yee!
WAHHH-Hooo! and some even fired there pistols!
"Cookie yur the best we ever seen.. GIVE ME AH Big-'ole
help'n of that ...pie!"
*Cookie smiled a evil grin..
"Welp, not till all of yee has a help'n do I want yah to dig in."
..and he ploped serve'n to everyone... and the Trailboss last.
*Cap'n.. I'd be proud to have you start with the first "taste"
said Cookie..
*(Cap'n took a like'n to cookie, so he downed a BIG scoop)
His eyes got red..
His neck bulged..
He got a far away look...
*And swaller'd the whole chunk..GULP!
COOKIE! he sputtered..
That there.. tastes like..(spitter-gulp)
"i knew you'd like it Cap'n!"
er-- *GO ON BOYS IT'S GREAT! COOKIE! DISH ME UP A SECOND HELP'N!
