Vagrant – one who has no established residence and wanders idly from place to place without lawful or visible means of support

My Hubby is a Conductor for Union Pacific Railroad. He rides trains all the live long day…
“Hobo” is a train term – it literally means “Home Bound” – Because there have been many down-on-their-luck people hop onto a train to travel for free in the past – This simple term became slang for “vagrant”. I never take offense to the term Hobo, It is what brings my man back to me! :)

We’ve been making these in my family for 50 years or so (usually with biscuits, not crescents). We call them “Libby Goods” after the person we learned them from years ago. Her last name was actually Goode.

Also delicious in them: Butter. Peanut Butter. Cheese. Jelly. Scrambled eggs and Sausage. Any combination of the above, or make up new stuff.

Very versatile, and delicious. Right sized stick?–Insert Hot dog into completed Libby Good. Hot dog stick? put hot dog on stick then wrap THAT with the dough, pig and blanket style. It is difficult to do, but you can even wrap a stick with bacon, cook it over the fire, then when it’s crispy, wrap that with biscuit dough, and cook it over the fire again. Fill with cheese. Alternately (and even more difficult) wrap the dough with slice of bacon on the outside and cook. Bacon wants to shrink, while dough wants to expand is why it is difficult.

We never used the broom handle, but used green limbs cut and trimmed. NEVER use Mountain laurel as Libby Goods made on this will cause diarrhea.

We made these when I was little and we’d go camping, only we called them “Pole Pies” and filled them with canned pie filling before squirting the ends full of whipped cream! They’re amazing.
