Years ago @mindysegal of @mindysbakery & I where randomly paired to be a team for @tastetalks ( a Chicago food event where renowned chefs where paired with folks outside of the culinary world). I decorated a booth, Mindy did the hard part, creating custom smores (her special recipe would later be featured in @saveurmag) Our line for smores was 80 people deep at one point that day (we had to recruit some of her friends to help us catch and keep up) I knew as soon as we met that wed be friends forever. If you know Mindy, you know that the fact that shes an award winning author and James beard chef is the least fascinating part of her. her heart is the size of Lake Michigan, with a smile and laugh to match. Over a decade later, she makes the pilgrimage to camp a couple times a year, her Jeep loaded to the leaf springs with food- and whips up a feast. Its always incredible. She feeds any and all that happen to be at camp that day. And we will never, ever take these days for granted. Thank you, M.O.D. for all the rad times past, present and future. You fill so much more than bellies. .@iamcraigsteven @thecraighensel thank you for joining us and for these pictures. (And for some of the friends who jointed that day @erikengstromphoto and @nathanbobey More soon
