Topic: Mod Squad (pod storage) Posted: 09 May 2011 at 12:30pm |
Having just returned from a weekend of camping, here was my menu for the weekend:
Friday: "steak", Doritos chips, Hostess white powdery donuts, dessert - Reese's pieces
Saturday: "steak", Doritos chips, Hostess white powdery donuts, dessert - Reese's pieces
Breakfast = coffee only and I nibble on chips/donuts throughout the day.
In saying "steak", I mean NY Strip cut that I "cook" on the campfire.
In saying "cook", I mean "apply some amount of heat/fire to; in hopes of yielding something edible". Sometimes this happens better than others - this weekend wasn't too bad. I have made great strides, in recent years, in "camp cooking".....way better than the days when I would go all week eating only vienna sausages. I discovered this stuff called "Lowry's Season Salt" - which helps.
I tried hamburgers on the campfire once and things kind of got out of hand. The dripping grease made the fire get way too intense for me to approach to try to rescue my supper! If I try them again, I may try clamping my hamburger flipper thing to a long pole.....or something.

Probably for the best, I've found turning off the stock shower head using the valve on the shower head leads to scalding hot water for a few seconds after you turn it back on. My guess is there is less resistance on the hot water side of the water system, so the trickle of water while you are soaping up allows hot water to creep into the shower head hose.
Of course I always forget this and get a very warm reminder each time. Next time I need to just turn off the main valves.

Just wondering, does the Oxygenics shower head have a shutoff?

Thanks David!
But now you've made me curious. Just EXACTLY what do you EAT when you are camping? I know you are bound to keep it simple. I bet you're quite happy with just salt and pepper, right? (I mean for seasoning - not for food, of course!)
Hey, seriously though . . . . there's something to be said for a simple uncluttered life. I probably SHOULD take a leaf or two from your book.

You get my vote as the most organized Podder. You've done a great job! If I ever decide to carry more than a bar of soap and a toothbrush, I might solicit your advise. What are "spices" and a "spice rack"?
Also, thanks for mentioning the shower (now 2 positive reviews). I think it was Outbound who first mentioned them. One is one my ever growing list of things to get.
