Childwold NY, 1/8 mile from Dumas' bar. Name of the camp is "half-way house", stop in sometime, the more the merrier and the camp is staggering distance from the bar, even though some of us have slept in the ditch. Uncle Bill owns the camp, tell him Kenny sent you and you will be welcomed just like family

Call it Steak Boomyal. A real legend around these parts. (especially with the Boy Scout dads, on campouts)<br /><br />Two 1 1/2" porterhouse steaks<br />one cube of butter<br />6 to 8" round bag of Mushrooms, sliced 1/4" (they will shrink considerably)<br />Montreal Steak seasoning<br />6 oz of Yukon Jack<br /><br />You have to have a large 15" cast iron skillet to do this right and you have to have a hot fire. <br /><br />You can do this in the camp fire with a suitable bed of hot coals (use 2 bricks to support the skillet) or you can do it in a barbeque if you can place the skillet 1/2" above the a generous amount of coals.<br /><br />Heat the skillet, rub the stick of butter around the bottom of the skillet. Slap in the seasoned steaks and sear each side for about two minutes each side.<br /><br />Place the remainder of the butter in the skillet and pour the Yukon Jack over the steak and around the skillet. When the flames subside, flip the steaks around to mix everthing up and cover the steaks in the juice.<br /><br />Pour in the mushroom slices, mixing quickly to saturate the mushrooms in the juice. This will cool down the skillet a bit, that's why you want a good bed of coals. You want this to continue 'actively' cooking so you don't 'stew' the meat.<br /><br />Continue to actively stir the mushrooms and occasionally turning the meat, until the sauce is reduced and the mushrooms are well carmelized. The timeline object is to have the mushrooms/sauce carmelize at the same time the meat is done to medium. Once you add the Yukon Jack things move pretty quick. (assuming the fire stayed hot) <br /><br />Remove skillet from fire as soon as you reach that point. Cut up steak and get ready to be launched into Nirvahna.

The old man likes to go to Red Lobster or Olive Garden Over in Cocoa about 40 min away. We used to cook but the new trailer kitchen is usually in-operable after the first season. Dad aint much on washing dishes and I usually have to clean it enough just to make a sandwich. <br /><br />My favorite food out there it Thanksgiving dinner. Its a pot luck of about 100-150 friends or relatives of the club. First time I ever had Fried mullet..umm...Was told it was a crap fish...NOT!.... After dinner we grab about as many plates of food as we can for the next two to three days....Were hunting dammit!<br /><br />Best wild pork I ever had was a Italion dressing marinaded tenderloin wrapped in heavy duty foil tossed in the morning coals for 30min. You can do it all with foil.

Deer Camp: Well our deer camp is an oil storage tank converted to a camp called the "Chrome Dome".<br /><br />Favorites are last years Deer made into sausage. Then Deer roast and Deer chili. <br /><br />Gene, the camp cook makes a great seafood gumbo, and there's always some black eyed peas, beans, rice dressing, cornbread or something to stick to your ribs.<br /><br />Every now and then if one or three of them gro-becs have a coronary and fall into the pot, we'll put a gravy on that too and serve it with rice.<br /><br />Does beer and whisky count as an appetizer?<br /><br />;-)

Re: Your Favorite Hunting/Camping Grub

I hear ya' Les.....love that stuff in the morning. <br /><br />I got ta' thinkin' bout it and once I posted a good recipe for beans. So....I went and found it so I could post it for LF. Here it is for all to enjoy. Fact....makin' a pot this weekend.<br /><br />As originally posted....<br /><br />She herself and Me was up early this morning to do some more work on the house. I said, "why don't I make up a mess of beans for supper and just let them cook all day?" She said great, get to it. Again, the beans were a total success. The kids got wind of it (literally) and showed up at supper time. Nothin left but an empty crock pot. Got plenty of good kudos from the family and I thought, well, knowing there may be some bean lovers out there, why don't I jist post my recipe and share....so....here's my recipe guaranted to keep the house full of odiferous odors for at least two days.<br /><br />I don't use any magic or voodoo. Just what looks good. I dump about 2lb of beans in the crock. Dice up a goodly protion of ham and throw that in.<br /><br />Then I dice up about five strips of bacon and fry them till crisp and dump out most all the grease. Into the skillet goes a good size diced onion. My formula for onions is, 1lb beans a good size onion, 2lb beans a little larger size onion and so on. <br /><br />I think the word they use is saulty (?). Well, just throw the onions in on top of the bacon and let them cook for a few minutes or until your eyes are about ready to fall out. I take the mix and dump it on paper towels to get rid of any extra bacon grease and then dump this bacon/onion mix into the crock. Throw in some salt and pepper and let her cook.<br /><br />Now when the soup gets a little thick and near servin time, I drop in some thumbnail size dumplings and let the whole thing cook for another 1/2 hour or so.<br /><br />You can also throw in some veggies like celery diced up or carrots is good to. <br /><br />Serve it up and watch the faces of folks that like beans. Sliced up raw onions on the side and fried taters round out the meal. And if ya want to get fancy, make a couple skillets of corn bread with fresh country butter.<br /><br />Dang.........gettin hungry again.

Re: Your Favorite Hunting/Camping Grub

Dang it OBJ, I just knew you were going to do that again.<br />Man, I will have beans tomorrow and wife beware.

Re: Your Favorite Hunting/Camping Grub

Hey Les....we ever get the chance to meet up with some of the other guys around here, what we need to do is have a bean soup cook off. Think the area we'd be in could take it???

Re: Your Favorite Hunting/Camping Grub

Might stand the cook off, but don't know about the aftermath.
