Hey Mike;
I’m not the camp cook because of my good looks!
I make a great skillet pizza in my 12-inch frying pan, and when I’m moved, I will also make some pretty decent skillet calzones too. I’ve also got one of the old, actually, just bought it a few years ago, Coleman collapseable, camp ovens that I use to make a variety of different kinds of cakes for dessert. For example, I will use a yellow cake mix, prepare it by adding water and shaking it in a martini shaker (actually, an old pancake batter shaker), then I add pieces of diced apple, and a hand full of chopped walnuts or pecans, I then put the batter into a cake pan and sprinkle the top with brown sugar before baking. I serve it right out of the pan as leftovers are but a wish. We do have one camp rule that we adhere to. Absolutely NO SHOP TALK, no computers, and cell phones are used only to talk to family members at the end of the day. I’m the only one in the group that isn’t retired yet, so that rule only applies to me. It’s a great opportunity to get your batteries recharged, deer or no deer it is still great to be able to get away from things. I consider it to be a real luxury.
