Cooking in the wild

The other night I went out to dinner with my Aunt and Uncle. Over the years I have hiked and snowshoed with them all over the Northeast. And when we go on our trips my Uncle Wayne brings the best food. It could be because we are totally wiped out by the end of the day and anything tastes go at that point but I do know that I like it. The food may not be prepared on fancy pots and pans like those of berndes cookware but we get by. On one trip through the woods in the winter we even had salad. Salad in the winter after hiking all day. Yep we did it. And it didn’t freeze and go mushy or anything. I am looking forward to taking the little one out into the woods for gourmet food in bags.

Anybody have a favorite camping recipe?

Rental Car SOS

In my job I rent cars at least five or six times a month. And now I make sure that the car I choose has one very special accessory. It must have the auxiliary jack for the radio so that I can listen to my iPod as I ride in style. And ride in style I do, well not that often. Sometimes I get a Pontiac G6 and I like driving those. Sometimes I get a Chrysler 300 and that is a pretty sweet car to drive especially if it has all of the latest Chrysler 300 accessories. Many times that includes the auxiliary jack.

My car does not have one of those jacks but I am going to make sure that my next one does or make sure that I buy the right radio to work with my iPod. Because, when I end up driving mile after mile passing fields and getting static I really wish I could listen to some of my favorite podcasts.
