Camping Culinary Excitement

This weekend will be my first big camping trip. I expect that I will spend a good bit of my time doing some fun food preparation things - for example, I want to dig a beanhole and slow cook my famous "Brooklyn baked beans" for consumption on Saturday night. I purchased a five quart cast iron dutch oven at the Brooklyn Kitchen yesterday (neat store) for this very purpose (I've always wanted one, good excuse to get one).

I also stopped on my way driving through Connecticut to pick up Hummel Bros. frankfurters - the very best hot dogs available, in my opinion. So Saturday night will be an excellent franks and beans dinner!! I also purchased a bunch of organic graham crackers and marshmallows, and some Hershey's miniatures for making s'mores, which can be made individually, or "nachos style" in my cast iron skillet.

Other food items I am bringing: assorted cheeses, pita chips, pretzel crisps, nutella, and a double case of Mike's hard beverages.

I wish I were able to get my farm share on Saturday morning to get my fresh eggs. Those would be SO AWESOME to cook at camp with some nice bacon... *drool*
