Cast-Iron Camp Cooking
Camping
usually means you eat hot dogs on a stick, cold sandwiches
and not a lot of appetizing food. But what if it didn’t mean that?
What if you
could have Salisbury steak, mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables, and cherry
cobbler? Or any other meal you would normally cook at home? Would campfire
food be more appealing?
Well it can be if you utilize a very old and versatile
tool; something your grandmother probably had more than one of – cast-iron
skillets and Dutch ovens.
 Check out this very
interesting and informative article on
Dutch Oven Camp Cooking.

How about an old-fashioned Picnic?
 Hamburgers/Cheeseburgers
The elements of the perfect
hamburger are a patty of ground beef in a soft round bun, served with ketchup. What people prefer on
their hamburger can vary from region to region in the United States.
 Louisiana Crawfish Boil
What looks, tastes, and smells
like seafood, but doesn't come from the sea? It's crawfish, a
freshwater shellfish that is considered a Louisiana delicacy.
 Beer Butt Chicken - Beer Can Chicken - Drunken Chicken
This chicken is the juiciest cooked chicken you'll
ever try! The beer inside the can steams the chicken making it so tender and
juicy. Everyone
likes to watch the preparation and the cooking of this chicken as it looks so
weird on the barbecue grill. Great entertainment!
 Cajun Fried Turkey
This is the best way of cooking a turkey
I've ever tasted.
The turkey is anything but greasy as
the deep-frying process seals the outside and the turkey remains
incredibly juicy, while the skin gets wonderfully crispy.

A Strategy for Battling Your
Grocery Budget
My food bill continues to rise. How about yours? The food budget in
our household is the largest of our variable expenses. There are so many
other kinds of bills that I have no control over. This makes me want to work
even harder to save at the grocery.

 A Summer Rose Tea
According to the folklore of
tea, once upon a time a lady was not allowed to socialize unescorted
except in her rose garden. It was here women met, unrestricted by
social rules of etiquette, to speak freely amongst the roses.
Throughout Europe, during the 1800s, the theme of the rose continued
to weave a thread, as afternoon tea flourished in both the public
gardens and tearooms.
