Not tonight, but thought I would post.

Father's day dinner at my wife's parent's house I grilled the following: ribeye steaks marinated in red wine, corn on the cob, and fresh asparagus.

Kabobs on the gas grille.
I used my GoPro HD camera for these shots, and it does not have have a view finder, so it is kind of hard to tell what you are shooting :D
It is wide angle, so it picks up a lot of stuff.

These are so easy to make, and I have taken them camping too before in the past.

I forgot to get onions, but the kabobs have:
* canned whole potatoes cut into thirds
* vine ripe tomatoes, I prefer the small cherry ones, but I had to use the bigger ones up
* Tofurkey dogs cut up
* brown mushrooms
* pineapple chunks
* red bell peppers

Side dish:
* Bush Griller beans
* Uncle Bens Rice Pilaf, microwave version

Beverage:
* Henry Weinhards Rootbeer, the only pop I will ever drink

Yes, my round table on the deck needs cleaning :D
That crap is from the two big fir trees, the same one that looms over my FJ and dumps spooge on it and the tent too.
You can see their massive trunks, they are quite old and big.
Maybe I should put a coat of wax on the table, that might make cleaning the table easier.
I usually have one of the maintenance guy's pressure wash it when they have their pressure washer out doing other stuff.

I think my wife got a couple pics of my 8 YO son and I cooking, but all I have right now are the 'Pre Dinner' pics! :chef:

Got up at 0500, and hit the big lake (Lake Superior, along the north shore in Minnesota)

Managed to get 2 Lake Trout, plenty for dinner for my family, and my dad and Ray, whom I went fishing with.

I don't have pictures, but tonight we had stir fry made in a cast iron wok, which I picked up for a couple of bucks at a garage sale this morning.

My daughter is visiting from college in Honolulu this summer and I thought I would try and create some good memories in our Kitchen!

How about Homemade Pizza?....! .....YES!

Here is my inspiration to make homemade pizza dough and pizza in my kitchen at home. It's so easy and cheap!

[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=grRcRnDqW0I"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=grRcRnDqW0I[/ame]

[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_tdfl6QTb38&feature=fvw"]How to Make Pizza Dough Video from pizzatherapy.com [/ame]

My daughter quickly took charge and got things going! How fun! What memories.

I like red onions and red bell peppers. She does not, so I put some on the side of MY Pizza. We had some Large Pepperoni on that Pizza!

We had trouble finding the right sausage, so we stopped by Henry's and bought a Bratwurst. We cut it up and placed it accordingly! Be Creative any way you can!

Dinner one night yesterweek up at Mt. Rainier.

* One can of chili simmering on the Camp Chef Denali stove while I prepped the other stuff.
* Tostito brand blue chips as a base.
* One whole avocado cut up laid on bed of chips.
* Chili poured over the above.
* One whole tomato cut up and spread around the chili.
* Fine Mexican cheese sprinkled over the top of mixture.

All washed down with a Henry's rootbeer.
Those blue enameled plates are deep, so while it did not look like a whole lot, I was stuffed afterwards and prime time for the black flies up there to make me their main course.
Had a few chipmunks too put their front legs up on the table across from me looking for handouts.
Not OK to feed them, and there was even signage on the table stating we had black bears in the area roaming around looking for food, and to make sure all food and garbage were not left out during the night.

Food tastes so much better when camping.

Cashew Beef

From my latest blog post:

DSCF1055-1.JPG

Ingredients

1 lb Petite Sirloin Steak
4 Tbsp Vegetable Oil
1 Bunch Green Onions
5 Cloves Garlic
1/4 Cup Fresh Ginger, finely diced (about 2-3 inches of ginger root)
2/3 Cup Roasted/Unsalted Cashews
1/2 Cup Water
4 tsp Corn Starch
2 Tbsp Soy Sauce
2 tsp Sesame Oil
2 tsp Oyster Sauce
2 tsp Chinese Chili Sauce

Pre-Trip Preparation
To save space, fill a small plastic container with enough vegetable oil for all of your cooking needs. Toss this into your dry food box. In a second small plastic container, combine Soy Sauce, Sesame Oil, Oyster Sauce, and Chili Sauce and toss container into the cooler. Finely chop the garlic and ginger and place in a third small plastic container. Put the Corn Starch in a 4th small container.

DSCF1036%20blog.jpg

Cooking Instructions
Cut green onions into 2in long pieces and set aside. Cut steak into pieces 1/4in thick, keeping the pieces short enough to be bite-sized while removing any unwanted fat. Heat vegetable oil in medium sized skillet over high heat. Add steak to the skillet and brown for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add garlic and ginger to the pan and cook until softened (about 2 minutes)

DSCF1043%20blog.jpg

Stir in the remaining ingredients, retaining the corn starch and approximately 2 Tbsp water, and cook until the beef has reached your preferred doneness; remove from heat. To thicken, add the remaining water to the corn starch, shake to combine, and then mix the corn starch mixture into the dish.

Serve over Basmati rice or another white rice and enjoy!

This was a little experiment at camp as I usually like a more conventional fried rice.

This one consisted of...

Meatballs
Sausage
Fishcake
Eggs
Crabmeat
Green Onions
Chili Paste
Soysauce
Asian spices I cant pronounce or read!

I don't have a picture because I haven't cooked it yet, but I'm making "Monterey Skillet Hamburgers". I do have a recipe!

1 pound ground beef
1 can (4 oz) chopped green chilies drained
2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro
1 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/8 tsp cayenne
1 medium red onion thinly sliced
1 medium avocado sliced
1 slices Monterey Jack cheese

Mix beef, chilies, cilantro, chili powder, salt, and cayenne. Shape into 4 patties about 1/2 inch thick.

Spray 10 inch skillet with cooking oil and heat on medium high, cook onion 1 to 2 minutes until just tender.

Add beef patties to skillet, cook 10 to 12 minutes turning once until no longer pink. Top patties with onions, avocado, and cheese, cover and heat until cheese is melted.

Ok, these burgers were good but just a few problems. I like cooking with cast iron but I think a non stick pan would have been better because the burgers stuck pretty badly. Also, medium-high was pretty high to cook the patties on. Finally the burgers fell apart easily, they weren't crumbly like with low fat burgers but they just didn't hold together. I don't know if they need an egg or some bread crumbs or both, but they need something to help hold them together.

....... but they need something to help hold them together.

A little oatmeal works, as does some cracker crumbs:)

I prefer crackers, Keebler Club crackers are my favorite, just enough salt and a slight buttery flavor!



Yesterday, my wife made "Moose Loaf":elkgrin: She made meatloaf, using 1/2 moose burger, and 1/2 hamburger.

That and some fresh picked green beans, steamed with some onions and a dab of butter on top after the steaming.


Mmmm, Mmmm, good!:chef:

Moose sounds fun. In Montana our moose hunting is a lottery system and if your name gets picked for a tag you have to wait another seven years before you can get in the drawing again, so to get a moose license is a pretty special thing but its only half the fun. To actually shoot the moose is a whole other story..... I've got an elk license and a deer license this year so hopefully I'll fill the freezer.
