Camping Thursday! - #319

[RICHARD]

Because the unofficial start of Summer has gone by, I will honor a request to have a camp out Thursday.

I think we can put up some tents near the Mario garden and sleep out. For our friends that don't like to rough it, there are hammocks and cots on the back patio.

--------------------------

The DOTD is a Muddy Mango Margarita.

1 20 oz can of Mucho Mango Arizona Ice tea.
2 oz Vodka
1 oz Midori
Sparkling water-to taste.

The drink is murky and kinda sweet, so add sparkling water to counteract the sweetness. Pour over ice.

I will try this as a slushy........and let you know!

-------------------------

Someone bring some metal hangers for S'mores and I'll get the ORC to pitch tents!

P.S.

I am open to camping food menus!

[smokey the elder]

I'll try one of those.

Hmm...camp food. If you have a Coleman stove, you have many more options. Nothing like coffee brewed over a campfire. Hot dogs (or brats, or other sausages) on a stick work well. Hmm...a bratwurst on a stick sounds really good!

[Karen]

Metal hangers for s'mores? What kind of city kid are you??? I will bring plenty of sticks for s'mores, okay? I'll even sharpen the ends a bit with my jack knife. And I have some cinnamon grahams I can contribute, too.

[Cinder & Smoke]

The drink is murky ...

"MURKY" ??

Metal hangers for s'mores? What kind of city kid are you???

Don't they get kinda HOT to hold?

[Pinot's Mom]

I'll have one of those 'murky' drinks ...as for the menu...

We actually have a Coleman oven that goes on top of a Coleman stove - it makes good pizzas! I like mine with artichoke hearts, ham, and of course lots of cheese!

ORC - what are you doing with those tent poles???

I have always wanted to try a Dutch Oven cake!... Or cornbread!

One brat on a stick, Bun and condiments on the side!

DONE!


Karen....

Oh, the thought of tearing down nature's resources for a snack!

Us Tree Huggers recycle the hangers.

Done!

C&S,

It looks like a peach juice. Not very pretty but really tasty!

Plus I could not think of an "M" word that would work? As the heat travels up the hanger is dissapates pretty well, ya just have to remember not to grab it close to the heated areas!

DONE?

PM.

Oh, I bought some HUGE artichokes the other day...two for a dollar! They were about softball size and really good!

One drink and a Coleman Pizza!

DONE!


Wait until David shows up, knowing him he'll play sword fighting with the Orc and THEN put up the tents!

[davidpizzica]

I'm here, RICHARD. As soon as I stop playing Errol Flynn with Orc, I'll get the tents set up and the ceement mixer going with the slushies. Nothing like roasting marshmallows over an open campfire!

[lvpets2002]

Someone say Camping.. Oh right.. Lets me bring my hammock & some treats.. Ones of thems drinks please Richard.. Did I read Orc is putting up the tent..





Oh Here is Orc some help from the Cattitudes

[Medusa]

Can't do the camping thing. Gave it a good try several times. Hate it. But I'll have the DOTD, RICHARD. And can you believe I've never had a s'more?

[Grace]

I don't 'do' camping either. Not since Girl Scout camp eons ago - when one night I had to dig 'the hole in the ground'.

I'll find a nice comfy, feather bed someplace close - but far away from bugs, snakes, and with indoor plumbing.

Pass me one of those murky concoctions.

Now, dear, you've perhaps never been in real woods? Deciduous trees shed sticks on a pretty regular basis - us using them for s'mores is actually just using what nature has discarded. I could mail you a bundle of self-shed maple twigs if'n'ya need proof!

I could go on and on ... and the lower thin branches on trees in a thick forest aren't getting enough sunlight to thrive for long anyway - either I break off a couple to use, deer eat them, or they just die, dry out and become lethal to walk into after dark!

LOL,

The only 'natural' sticks I encountered regularly were the wooden pointers that the nuns used to 'reach out and touch' you and the pine switches Dad used to prove his point.


The last time I saw anything Maple was at Ikea?

We'll go natural!

DONE!


Grace and Medusa,

Both of you can sleep on the couches near the fireplace!

Two DOTDs and one S'more?

DONE!


LP,

Two trees close together and a large Drink. Thanks for the cattitude!

DONE!

David,

You do look swashbuckling today. You can drive the mixer and we'll leave the Orc to do the 'dirty' work!

DONE!

I'll bring the hersheys, I'm all for the stick for cooking over the fire. I brought some watermelon and trail mix.

[KYS]

Slushy drink and smores sounds wonderful.
Nothing beats camp food bbq and good company around
the camp fire.
