Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Fancy Food

We eat way better at the house. Don’t know about fancy, we don’t set the table. 3 sets of multi generational fine china, it’s just for looks. 😃


We eat off of the mismatch yard sale dishes, paper towels, styrofoam.

A Southern woman lives here, fixes a killer Key lime pie, home made bread, apple pies, peach and blackberry cobblers, picked from a fence row. Fresh Strawberry Graham cracker pie, from the U-Pick patch 3 miles from the house lately, pecan pies, homemade cookies.

Then we got the 70 year old version of her next door, her mother. She doesnt do as much as she used to. She’s only good for a few scratch cathead biscuits on the weekends.


Crock pot going 3 days a week with something in it. Beans/ham, beef, chicken dumplings.

Nothing ‘instant’ someone is peeling potatoes a couple times a week here, usually me.

She hammers all this stuff out on her island in the middle of the kitchen.

THEN, she won’t eat any of it. She only eats broccoli, kale, okra tomatoes, and some country ham.

Big garden here, collards, green beans, sweet corn. cukes, okra, tomatoes, pepper, squash, onions. Freezers and canning jars by the hundred of product put up.

If something needs killing, grilling, or smoked, I’ll do all that.

We usually as a staple patty out fresh chuck and grill a batch of patties of someone wants to make a burger and head out to the deck and chill with the dogs.

So long as my daughter is around, which if I have my say is forever, I'll not be slimming down. I have a hell of a sweet tooth.

I call it good parenting.

That all sounds pretty damn good to me...

Wife and daughter make wedding cakes for people we know.

Got a buddy been married 3 times, so that’s three cakes. 😐

Only done as favors. Not for hire.

That butter creme frosting would kill a Native American or negro. It would be instantaneous acute diabetic toxic syndrome.


Like 15 lbs of confectioner’s sugar. Stuff like Tony Montana chopped out with his hands.
Then you add about 25 sticks of butter and a bottle pure mexican vanilla to it.

I have to be the taster sometimes.

Worst acid reflux ever, not from tomato products or spicy food, but from that frosting. Something about the butter and sugar.

Like eating a super sweet Playdough with sand in it.

Can hear your teeth just cryin.

I’ll taste it but I have to spit that stuff out. Wife won’t taste that frosting she is a militant anti carb nazi.

You could put buttercream on a turd and I’d probably eat it. That stuff is pure heaven. I could eat it alone without the damn cake. If there’s buttercream anything on the menu it’s most likely gonna end up on my plate.

The trick is to not use that much sugar. Some people used to eating sweets in the states who go to Europe and order deserts practically spit them out the first time they taste them thinking they ordered something sugarless.

I found a place that sells frozen Ahi Pokie in Montana, you just don't get fancier than that.
