What did everyone cook today?
-
Back from camping and back to reality. I enjoyed some great food with the family the past several days. I’ve included some pictures if my contributions to the family meals.
This past weekend was the State Park Campground’s Halloween weekend camp out. It has been a family and friends tradition of ours for about 4 decades. My brother, one of my sisters, my family and some old friends were part of it this years.
We took up 5 campsites and a cabin. Unfortunately this weekend the Crappie were not cooperating, so no good fish pics. I will start with Friday’s meal, which were all over wood fire.
Breakfast, yes that is Spam and eggs with toast. Its a long story, but has become part of the tradition.

Lunch was deer brats I made using Walton’s Blue Ribbon brat seasoning and adding some of my ground homemade Chipotle for a little kick.

Dinner was a Hunter’s Pie made in my CI Dutch Oven using 5lbs of ground venison.

Saturday we call the big breakfast. My brother and I get up and start it at sun up. The menu was bacon, sausage with gravy, biscuits, country ham, pancakes. The plate was mine after cooking all morning on the griddle.


Saturday dinner is pot luck. My contribution was ND Mike Chocolate Cherry dump cake and every bit disappeared. I had to improvise a little after leaving my Hershey’s Special dark chocolate chips at home. I had the big pack of Hershey bars for Smores and chopped up 4 bars instead. I also added Dr. Pepper Cherry instead of Coke. It was awesome.


Great weekend with family and friends. Happy Halloween!

GWG8541 man that looks like an awesome time. We did a trip to Delaware earlier this year but rented a cabin. Keep saying I’m gonna get a travel trailer but gotta get a truck first. Hehe.

GWG8541 I cannot like this post enough! That is what it is all about! Family and great food equals great memories! Don’t apologize for fried spam! I love spam! Are you just making toast in the pan or are your frying it a bit?
Thanks for the shout out on the dessert! I bet it was amazing with Dr. Pepper cherry! I’m gonna make that the next weekend I have off.

Surg the truck came first. It was a retirement gift to myself. Then I bought the fifth wheel camper. It all started with tent camping, then a pop up camper, but I skipped buying a travel trailer and went to a fifth wheel. Im not exactly roughing it anymore, but enjoying it more as I get older.

Today was a perfect day for this supper. I love the Fall in the Upper Great Plains when the temps start to cool off. Sweatshirt weather is my favorite and this is one of my favorite meals. Meatloaf, candied squash, and baked taters.

-
German night tonight, pork schnitzel, German potato salad, and cucumber salad.

-
Smoked pichana seasoned with Spiceology’s Gaucho Steakhouse Rub, and an apple crisp.

I finally cooked some of the steaks I dry aged for 45 days, I seared both sides for a little over a minute then finished on indirect heat until 129°, served it with creamy parmesan risotto with sautéed
mushrooms, and hand cut homemade rosemary garlic fries. -

I have heard 45 days was bordering on the funky side for some, perfect for others -

I have heard 45 days was bordering on the funky side for some, perfect for othersglen It was great for us, there was no funk to it at all, wonderfully tender, I have heard if you leave the “rind” on that is where you will get the funk. Maybe next time I will cook one like that to see if there is a funk flavor to it.

Austin looks good. Like that knife you got there.
I like that it fits in your wallet.
Carry this one in my lunch bag for work.

Might need to add one of those to my survival kit, not really sure it is a need but it is a want!

Beef and bean chili, crusty bread (not homemade because I ran outta flour and today is day one of quarantine for me
), and a Bud. Great fall meal.

Sous vide sirloin tip roast, smoked crab poppers, smoked creamed corn, smoked bourbon apple cobbler.
This project took several days overall but it was worth it. I started with a batch of ghost chili cheddar beer cheese sauce a couple days ago. Last night I made a small rib roast that had been taking up too much freezer space for way too long and started on a bread project. This morning I got to work on some footlong hoagie rolls, picked some bell peppers from my folks garden and grabbed some local onions from the store. I spent the afternoon shaping, resting and baking the bread. After all was said and done I spent about 2 minutes inhaling one of the best sandwiches I’ve ever eaten. Philly has nothing on me.

GWG8541 That looks real nice. We used to do the same thing every year & then just about everyone that enjoyed it, died over the years, sadly to say & there is only one or two of us left so we do not get to do it much any more. That looks real nice & relaxing.
