Recipes:

FOIL-PACKET GRILLED POTATOES
2 medium or large potatoes, sliced into french fries
1 Tbs. olive oil
a shake of garlic powder
salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

FOIL-PACKET GRILLED APPLES
3 or 4 medium tart apples, sliced
a handful of raisins
a sprinkle of Ceylon cinnamon
2 tsp. brown sugar
1 Tbs. butter, cut up

Toss the ingredients together in a double-walled foil packet and grill over hot coals until soft.

GRAHAM CRACKER ROLL
3/4 c. graham cracker crumbs
1 c. nuts, chopped (Grandma always used pecans, but I used walnuts this time because that was all I had)
1 c. dates, snipped small with kitchen scissors
20 marshmallows, snipped small with kitchen scissors
1/4 tsp. salt
1 c. heavy cream, whipped until it holds stiff peaks

Crush graham crackers with a rolling pin until you have 3/4 c. Set aside 1/3 c. crumbs for coating.
Add chopped nuts, dates, and marshmallows. Add salt. Fold in stiffly whipped cream.
Shape mixture into a firm roll. Roll in reserved graham cracker crumbs. Wrap in wax paper and chill. Slice and serve with whipped cream.
