CAMPING Week 26, Day 4 - Week 27, Day 2

Saturday

Dinner only as was arrival day: taco salads by the Tervalons with corn muffins

Sunday

breakfast: Hansen day. Scrambled eggs, sausage, summer sausage, papaya and home fried potatoes

lunch: sandwiches, apples and carrots, Nutter Butters for dessert

dinner: Hansen night.  Hamburgers, coleslaw and potato chips - note to self 3 pounds was not enough for our group - well, maybe just barely.  I also totally cheated and bought packages of coleslaw that included the dressing to make there.  I was afraid the dressing would be mayonnaise-y but it was decent actually.

Monday

breakfast: Tervalon day.  Pancakes.  Cress didn't like them because they were burned but that is camping.  I don't usually make it as a camping breakfast because it is too hard to get it just right, but I know lots of people do it.  Also, they used a mix and I refer a from scratch recipe - which makes it just a tiny bit harder and so I rarely do it.  Casaba, cantaloupe, remaining papaya (Jason learned yesterday that he actually does like it but only he and I and one of our daughters do - and Al.) Bacon.

lunch: sandwiches, dried apricots, peanuts (my girls complained about the apricots) and more Nutter Butters

dinner: Hansen night.  Burritos for which there was pork or beans or both plus all the fixings.  Kahlan is a very picky eater but she is largely a meat eater so I thought she would like it - but no, she didn't.  So much so that her mother had to spoon feed her and she still ended up spitting it out again.  Though, she did eventually eat it.

Tuesday

breakfast: Tervalon day.  Grits, sausage, pineapple, cantaloupe and eggs scrambled with or without onions.

lunch: same as day before - still got grumbling about the apricots.  The Tervalons brought fresh apricots and Kahlan was heard to say more than once, "Fresh apricots are better than dried apricots."  Oh, well.  Jason loves them and I really got them for that reason.

dinner: Hansen night.  Bean and sausage stew in the Dutch oven.  But we got a late start and it was almost 9 by the time we ate.  Al seemed to really like it, but it came out drier than last time.  I doubled it and wonder if that was a factor.  We also did butternut squash in the coals which came out really well.

Wednesday

breakfast: Tervalon day.  Cream of wheat, honey dew, cantaloupe, sausage, eggs (for Nicole and Jason primarily but there was a little left for someone) and some leftover grits that were kind of stir fried to warm up.

lunch: same, except we ate more of the Tervalons fresh fruits and veggies - I had been having my kids hold back since we didn't bring it, but I guess I just need to adjust because I bring all the soda and marshmallows and s'mores stuff.  Oh, and we did a chocolate mint cookie instead of Nutter Butters.

dinner: Tervalon night.  Pasta with meat sauce and steamed carrots.

Thursday

Breakfast: Hansen day.  Breakfast burritos using leftover sausage, bacon that we precooked and brought, salsa, cheese and avocados as wanted.  Cantaloupe - there was some left and the Tervalons sent it home with us.

lunch: sandwiches.  We actually packed them before heading out but made them with only meat and cheese and then sliced the produce and put it in the cooler.  We added that when we stopped in Tahoe to drop off Dai.  That was when we ate.  Kind of proud that we didn't eat out.  The girls ate a lot of peanuts on the way home and some Oreos when they finished their sandwiches.

Dinner: Got home about 6 and were done unpacking by about 7. Had egg burritos because we are low on food and it was late and that is easy.  Just wiped out so we did what was easy and well received.
