The story, shot last summer, appears in the April issue of the magazine, which is on the newsstands at this time.<div><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://www.michelestapleton.com/blog/uploaded_images/Fiddle-Camp-1-714167.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></div><div>I was told before shooting the story to focus on the camp food, and having spent many a summer at camp--first as a camper and later as a counselor--I thought I knew what to expect--<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">s'mores</span></span>, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">shepherds</span> pie and spaghetti night.  Boy, was I wrong.</div><div><br /></div><div><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Omigosh</span></span>, this was a camp food experience like no other. Think rosemary <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">focaccia</span></span>, beet salad and blueberry cobbler from scratch.  And, everyone insisted that I not go home hungry. I can't remember the last time I was fed so well on an assignment!</div><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://www.michelestapleton.com/blog/uploaded_images/Fiddle-Camp-2-714294.jpg" border="0" alt="" /><div><br /></div><div>If you are a Maine fiddler, no doubt you already know about the camp. If you are a Maine fiddler and haven't attended, don't put it off any longer. You owe it to your stomach to go to this camp!</div>Michele Stapletonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02064069865125053311noreply@blogger.com
