Hot and Humid

We went to a fishfry tonight here in town. It was an awesome thing held in the river park pavillion (air conditioned) and where else we decided to roam at the park. One of our good friends planned and kept it working right. Others cooked; others watched the service tables. I took pictures as did my husband and one other friend.
We all chipped in on the desserts and drinks. I took a banana pudding (secret recipe-not the canned pudding one) and an aerosol can of whipped cream. It was the first thing gone-the banana pudding, that is. My husband said it was because I remembered to take a spoon and everyone else needed my spoon to serve their desserts. Hmmm. I'd rather think it was yummy.
We loaned a large propane fryer and an e-z up canopy, neither of which has made it home yet. I'm one of those. I count the silverware before I put it away (not the old stuff.) I was glad to see them use the stuff, but the e-z up sits in my back yard by the patio and it's where I do my woodwork and my outdoor cooking.
My husband loaned it - kind of pressed into it - to a guy so he can have shade to work on his truck. He saw the fire in my eyes ignite and then die out a little as the guy explained why he needed it, promising it will return on the weekend. I'm not sure he is dependable, but I understand why he needs it. The fryer hopefully is in the truck of the event organizer and we will get it back in good shape and time.
I always like photoshooting an event like this. You get such a variety of responses: the shy "Will you get it over with?" group; the self-conscious "You will not take my picture-ever," group; the funny "Watch me cram my mouth or do bunny ears for my wife," group; the smug "I'll keep talking and not look right at you, but you know I'm posing," group; the preoccupied "I'm busy talking and I don't care if you do or don't," group; the exuberant "Let's all pose for the camera,come on, come on," group; the proud new mothers "You want a picture of me and my baby? Where do you want us? Are you sure you can see his/her face?" group. There are surely others I've not mentioned. Then there are the scenery and culinary surprises that just grab your mind.
