Glamping in John's New Cabin . . . and a fantastic FRENCH recipe for EGGS

We packed most of our camping equipment into the car this weekend . . . except for the tents . . .  

because our friend, John, gave us the key to his 2-bedroom, brand-new cabin on 10 wooded acres at Forest Grove (near 100 Mile House) in the Cariboo region of B.C..

John has built houses and cabins in Ontario, Saskatchewan, the Yukon, and in British Columbia.  

He likes to do most of the work by himself because he is very particular.  Everything is done to house specs.

When we’re camping, the easiest way to cook eggs is to boil them.  

However, since we were glamping, I made use of the oven for this incredibly easy and DELICIOUS French recipe:

OEUFS sur le plat
