I remember you commented on my ā€œbread-on-a-stickā€ from last fallā€™s bike-camping trip. It seems like now you have taken camping bread to a whole ā€˜nother level - one Iā€™m not sure I could ever match or surpass :thumbsup:šŸ¤£.

Still, if I manage to get away camping at all this year, I will have to do something to up my gameā€¦

At the end of April, we drove to St. Paul MN for our daughter's May 3 wedding. It's a 9-hour drive, but we geezers split it into a 2-day trip, stopping overnight in Janesville WI, about the halfway point of the trip. Our Janesville hotel was right next to a Cracker Barrel restaurant, so we ate supper there. I ordered a turkey pot pie, since I'm a big fan of pot pies (I even liked shepherd's pie in the college cafeteria 50+ years ago). My pot pie was large with a tasty, flaky crust. Since it was at Cracker Barrel, it also had enough salt in it to satisfy my minimum requirement for both April and May!

Thatā€™s the same Cracker Barrel we have breakfast at every year before the Badger Knife Show. You should definitely join us at the show next year, GT! šŸ™‚

Thanks Barret !
We are making plans to spend about 10 days up in Georgian Bay in July.
We visited it for the first time about 3 years ago.
Itā€™s a beautiful area about a 6 hours drive from home.

I never made the connection between the BF breakfast for the Badger Knife Show and that Janesville Cracker Barrel, although I should have. I probably should have sensed that it was an historic site as soon as I entered! ;)šŸ¤“

Thanks for the invitation, Barrett, although it's unlikely that I'll make that almost 5 hour drive next winter.
I used to enjoy driving and road trips, but my back can be very uncooperative the past few years if I drive more than 30 minutes at a time.

The following pic shows my first serving of an order of Mongolian Beef my wife picked up for me at the Red Bowl, a Chinese place recommended by one of her friends. I mixed it with both white rice and vegetarian fried rice. I think my beef order cost $17 and, by adding vegetables of my own (and sometimes substituting potatoes for rice), I was able to get 5 meals from it. Very good, and I expected it to have some spiciness, but this was the hottest Mongolian Beef I've ever had!! :thumbsup::eek::thumbsup: (I asked my wife if she had recently taken out a life insurance policy on me...)

Just over 2 weeks ago (June 1) was the 39th wedding anniversary for my wife and me. We celebrated by doing normal Saturday chores: laundry, mowing the lawn, pulling weeds in the garden, walking the dog. Then, while my wife took a shower, I went foraging for an anniversary dinner. I came home with pizza and wings: big vegetarian pizza and 6 honey BBQ wings for her, big chicken BBQ pizza and 6 Jamaica jerk wings for me (her pet name for me is Jamaica Jerk :rolleyes:). Good eating for that evening, and excellent leftovers for much of the following week! :thumbsup::cool::thumbsup:

Here's a pic of the box containing my pizza. Contrary to popular opinion on The Porch, JB's is NOT owned by Jack Black Jack Black !


My chicken BBQ pizza (cheese, red onions, red peppers, chicken, and BBQ sauce) was rather messy/sloppy/juicy when it was hot from JB's oven. But it was delicious, and was much less messy after a night in the fridge.


Here's a close-up if you want to inventory the ingredients (no photos of the wings, but they were pretty good, too, both hot and cold):

I was assigned the task of cutting up and frying onions, carrots, potatoes, green peppers, and green beans, which get served on top of a lamb and rice dish my wife makes. I decided to use my Opinel 10, rather than struggle with a cheapo kitchen knife:

In the end it may have been quicker to use a kitchen knife - the Opinel is terrifyingly sharp, and requires a high degree of attention and caution to use safely for such a taskā€¦
 
Last week, my wife bought some "everything" bagels at Trader Joe's. She "owns" those bagels, but she let me use one to make a bagel sandwich for lunch one day last week.
Here are the ingredients for my sandwich: extra sharp cheddar cheese, apple, hamburger dill slices.


Here's an open-face version of the sandwich after I toasted the bagel and arranged the "filling":


Bird's eye view of the finished bagel sandwich, followed by a horizontal view. It was all I hoped it would be!! :thumbsup: šŸ¤“

Saved by a good Case. I was out with my stepson yesterday and we decided to get dinner at a chain steakhouse we enjoy. They provide you with a nice looking LARGE serrated steak knife that is better suited for survival camping than it is for dinner. Food and service was as always very nice and thankfully I had this Case lockback with me.[url=https://postimg.cc/ts64y6rv][/URL]
