How to Make Hobo Pies
Everyone has a different name for them: hobo pies, campfire pies, pie irons, mountain pies, or pudgy pies, but we can all agree they are delicious! From sweet to savory, when it comes to hobo pies the combinations are endless.
From my backyard to up north travels and car-camping adventures I have found myself spending more time around a campfire, which means I have spent more time making hobo pies than ever. Hobo pies are super simple to make and definitely a camping staple. Today I am going to share with you how to make hobo pies, as well as a ton of sweet and savory combinations as well as share pictures of some of the pies I have made this season. I would love to hear what your favorite hobo pie combination is, so feel free to leave a comment letting me know!

Restaurant Review: Short\’s Brewing Company
A couple weekends ago I went on a little glamping getaway. Of course, if you know me it involved plenty of exploring. The campsite I stayed at was near Bellair, so of course, I had to check out the sweet little town. Bellaire, Michigan is home to Short\’s Brewing Company and while I don\’t drink I know that breweries are typically home to the best pizza and pretzels around.
I tried out a Flutes of the Chi pizza which featured: chicken, pesto, artichokes, roasted garlic, herb-roasted tomatoes, parmesan reggiano, and a balsamic glaze. The pizza was absolutely delicious and tasted even better once it was cold.
I also tried out Loop de Loop. These soft pretzels are made with Local\’s Light and topped with pyramid sea salt. The soft pretzels come with a side of beer mustard, peanut butter and Soft Parade jam, and Huma cheese dip. Never would I think to dip my soft pretzel in peanut butter and jam, but it was actually my favorite dip.
If you\’re in or around Bellaire, Michigan I highly recommend stopping at Short\’s Brewing Company and at least getting the soft pretzels – dip them in the peanut butter and Soft Parade jam first.. you won\’t regret it.

What is PKI?
What is PKI?
PKI or Public Key Infrastructure is the framework of encryption and cybersecurity that protects communications between the server (your website) and the client (the users).
How does PKI work?
PKI works by using two different cryptographic keys: a public key and a private key.
PKI or Public Key Infrastructure is used in several ways. PKI can be used in anything from smart card logins to email messaging.
Examples of where PKI is used
Signing documents
Securing internal communications
Securing local networks
Email encryption
Secure messaging
In all these cases data security is of importance, which means PKI is used.
Why should you use PKI to secure email?
Just like PKI is important for securing web traffic, it is important for securing email. Data flowing over the open internet can be easily intercepted and read if it is not encrypted. More times than not it may be difficult to trust a sender is who they actually claim to be, and PKI allows for the authenticity to show. Securing email is one of the oldest and most common PKI system practices.
PKI is one of the most common approaches to authentication and encryption. Most commonly Public Key Infrastructure is used by small businesses as well as other large companies.
What is the purpose of Public Key Infrastructure (PKI)?
The purpose of PKI is to manage keys and certificates. When you manage keys and certificates through a PKI that allows organizations to maintain a trustworthy network. Basically, it makes trustworthy online communication possible.
What elements go into PKI?
1. Certificate authority.
A certificate authority issues digital certificates signs them with its own public key and then stores them for reference.
2. Registration authority
The registration authority verifies the identities of those requesting digital certificates.
3. Certificate database
The certificate database is designed to store both the metadata and certificates.
4. Certificate policy
The certificate policy outlines PKI procedures. This allows outsiders the ability to judge how trustworthy the PKI is.

Happy Friday, and welcome to the end of week 25 of quarantine. Gyms opened up this week, while movie theaters remain closed. I am working on spending time enjoying the little things. Like sunsets up north, picking wildflowers with my mum and indulging in delicious treats. Stay tuned next week to get all the details on my glamping trip!
