Van-berry muffins

With it being a cold and gloomy day in Arizona, I had to find another way to occupy myself between work periods. I could have read a book, or watched a movie, but I had the urge to bake instead. Sure, my version of baking is not baking-proper as my...

Milk-Can Supper

Mother and I were watching some cooking show (yea, that’s how I roll) when they featured a dish that we just had to try; Milk-Can Supper. It is a super-simple dutch oven recipe involving steaming all the the food using beer. As luck would have it, my younger Brother and...

I Love Sushi

I don’t, but they do. They as in the others I am camped with (Aluminarium, theTravelingHaywoods, Russ & Todd in the WanderBus) and who invited me along with them on a trip into the Vegas area for a night on the town for dinner at I Love Sushi. I ordered...

Potatoes & yams in a bean kettle

I decided to use my recently purchased Dutch Oven Bean Pot Kettle to pre-prepare the potatoes and yams I have been carrying around. See, normally I never get around to using these foods as they take too much time and effort to prepare, but winds of change blew past me...

A trying day, but ends with steak!

I seemed to travel the same mile over and over in some Groundhog Day hell made specifically for me. I drove 100 miles this morning to arrive at what I thought would be my spot for the rest of the day. The casino I had chosen had no place (dirt of...

Solar oven fun

I had an extra box, thanks to the recent purchase of my slow-cooker, and I have been curious about a solar oven so I went for it. The only real investment was a couple feet of aluminum foil and a bit of tape. After some cutting and forming of the...
