Title: MOJAVE ROAD FOOD CORPS
Post by: xxSVxx on April 10, 2015, 03:33:56 PM: HEY!

Ok, so I have taken it upon myself to organize the food aspect of forthcoming trip...

Group meals are organized chronologically and Sunday morning has yet to be decided as to what will be served.

We have A FEW GAPS where we need people to step up and contribute.

This list is just ripped off the original TMR post with some added bullet points to make sure we all eat like champs.

Areas of need from what I can tell are:

breakfast and dinner saturday night.....GhostX is doing pancakes in the AM and pasta in the PM, but not much going on outside of that....we need at least 1 more breakfast entree and hopefully 2 more dinner artisans as well. Breakfast Sunday morning will need attention too....Imma try to bring donuts, but I can't guarantee they'll last with John around ;)

Last count was 10 rigs; average 2 people per truck and we're looking at roughly 20 people. That's a decent group. Please bring enough to feed 10-12 when you volunteer.

Dinner Friday Night

MAIN DISHES
-Carne Asada <9lbs of it compliments Toro, Motorpig, the carne asada gods>
-Taquitos <compliments of xxSVxx>

SIDE DISHES
-Dutch oven beans <Celt>
-Flour & corn tortillas <Celt>
-Fajita onions/peppers/jalapenos <?>
-Mexican rice and guac/sour cream <xxSVxx>
-bag of shredded cheese and onions and peppers <MotorPig>

Breakfast Saturday Morning

MAIN DISHES
-peanut butter pancakes <GhostX>
-eggs/french toast <Duffman>
-

SIDE DISHES
-dutch oven beans <Celt>
-bacon of the gods <JFanaselle>
-sausage <Duffman>
-

Dinner Saturday Night

MAIN DISHES

-

SIDE DISHES

GEAR

Post by: steve c on April 10, 2015, 04:11:19 PM: Thanks for taking the lead on this, Christiaan.

Because of my current jihad on fat I won't be able to partake in the food festivities, BUT I can still contribute.
I will definitely be bringing the Camp Chef two burner stove, large griddle and propane.

For Saturday, I can bring fajita onions and bell peppers.

I will talk with my codawg and see what he wants to contribute.

Is it possible to make garlic bread (or something like it) on a griddle?

Please advise if there are any other items to consider.

Post by: Toro on April 10, 2015, 06:05:26 PM: That's awesome Christiaan.
Can you put our names down next to what we are bringing?

I have done some of those frozen galic bread loaves in the campfire before. They came out half descent.
Just wrap them in descent tin foil and toss them in.

Jayrat mentioned he'll be bringing beef stew.
Maybe we can add him for night 2.

Post by: JFanaselle on April 10, 2015, 07:40:41 PM: I have 8 pounds of bacon already purchased - 4 lbs of applewood smoked and 4 lbs of pecan wood smoked. The plan was to have LOTS of bacon for Saturday morning but we can split that into two days worth of breakfast if we're planning a group breakfast for Sunday morning.
Title: Re: MOJAVE ROAD FOOD CORPS
Post by: Ghost65 on April 10, 2015, 07:41:03 PM: I'll have my new two burner stove for the pasta and pancakes.

Can someone bring...sausage? ;)

And X2 on taking the lead on this Christiaan.

Post by: RBduffer on April 10, 2015, 08:54:34 PM: Nilda and I will bring the sausage! We will bring eggs for french toast and or just eggs. We will have our griddle going for breakfast both days. If you want me to burn somethin' in the mornings just throw it on.

Holy Coronary Infarct Batman!
Title: Re: MOJAVE ROAD FOOD CORPS
Post by: Celt on April 11, 2015, 12:54:31 AM: I'm also contributing 3lbs of carne asada for Sat night but Toro is transporting it. I'm thinking Sat/Sun dinners will be amazing and really look forward to them. I'm also bringing a bunch of peppers/onions for the fajita mix to fry up. Just a thought that since Sunday AM is the last day how about everyone being responsible for their own vittles? Instead of putting pressure on folks to come up with something they can bring whatever they like and not have to worry about a big production. I like big group potluck feeds but with larger groups it has been my experience that towards the end, things tend to start getting a little fragmented. Folks want to make a really nice meal for the others and it can become stressful trying to please everyone. Most will have their minds on getting everything packed up and moving along to get home and the last thing they want to do is cook for a large group. Maybe I'm a little different but on the trips I don't eat much and normally prefer a piece of bread, cheese and salami for breakfast, lunch.

Ummmmmm, you are going to camp right next to me right? That way you don't have far to go to put that bacon into the Dutch oven that will gladly be within stumbling distances from your camp to mine. I'm having thoughts about a ton of bacon, with lots of peppers and some eggs tossed in at the last minute and some corn tortillas over the lid of the oven,,,,hhhmmmmm

Post by: JFanaselle on April 11, 2015, 09:43:59 AM: I don't mind doing my own thing for breakfast Sunday morning. I thought that was the original plan anyway, and might make things easier on everyone. Plus, then we can still have tons of bacon on Saturday morning. ;D

D'oh, my mistake. You are right everyone is on their own Sunday. That being said, I have that large Dutch oven that juuust loves bacon and if said bacon has no home......

Just sayin.

Title: Re: MOJAVE ROAD FOOD CORPS
Post by: JFanaselle on April 11, 2015, 02:42:52 PM: I should add that, while I am bringing all of this bacon, I don't have a way to cook that much. I have a small stove and a small griddle that can cook a few pieces at a time, but it would take all day to cook this much. If I'm counting right, it sounds like we'll have three campchef stoves and griddles (Steve C, Duffman and TacoTuesday), so if someone doesn't mind designating one of those as the bacon cooker, that'd be great.

Bro, I'm bringin my Dutch oven. That will cook up several pounds of bacon at a time and the lid can be flipped over as a gridle if need be.

People are pulling out left and right....we're down to 10-11 rigs by my count, so adjust your food offerings accordingly. Let's not be wasteful.

Post by: steve c on April 14, 2015, 09:10:57 PM: I was going to head to the grocery store in Laughlin either Thursday night or early Friday morning to get provisions for the trip.

I know it will be last minute, but I don't have a fridge! I can fill in the gaps on stuff we are missing. My codawg wants to contribute, too.

I require 1 beer from each attendant to offset the head aches of the permit process.

I'll bring you some beer bud. You like Coors Light Strawberry-berita, right? Zima light?

ANYWAY.....SOME THOUGHTS:

Coffee. Please, can we get an idea as to who's bringing coffee & accouterments? I will chip in either cash or stuffs wherever needed. Please chime in.

Also....SMORES material.

2 nights camping = 2 campfires = 2 smores opportunities

Any volunteers for that? Or do we want to leave that up to a BYOSS.

Can't wait!!!
Title: Re: MOJAVE ROAD FOOD CORPS
Post by: steve c on April 14, 2015, 10:08:53 PM: I have a 30oz GSI Java Press that will be accompanying me on the trip.

I'll bring some coffee. It won't be fancy, but it will be coffee! BYOC (grounds) if you'd like. Just add hot water, wait 4 minutes and you're GTG

Seems like we're pretty good to go....minor gaps here and there, but I doubt anyone will go hungry...LOL

"Meat of the unicorn . . ." WTF dude? Did you learn nothing from watching the Harry Potter movies?

". . . prepared by leprechauns." No problem there, I'm used to having short people handling the food prep, I come from an Italian family.

Sorry I can't make this trip, it sounds like it's going to be a blast. Have fun everyone.
