Blogging has been and will be a bit quiet for a few days.  I’m going camping tomorrow and have been busy getting ready.  The camping ground is on the other end of some really long and twisty road.  A couple of hours outside Brisbane, so I guess I’ll just have to take the bike – it’s a tough job, but someone’s gotta do it.

As for the camping itself, I’ll be using the opportunity to enjoy several good scotches, red wine, and do some cooking in my camp oven …and I’ll probably do all three at the same time.  For the US readers, a Camp Oven is sometimes called a Dutch Oven, it’s made of cast iron, has a tight fitting lid, and you cook in it by covering/burying the oven in hot coals.  It can take a bit of practice, but I’m pretty good at it - a bit too good, because I always end up as camp cook  :) 

I think this camping trip I’ll probably cook my famous Shepherds Pie, as well as some Nachos,  a Sunday Roast with Yorkshire pudding and Apple Crumble.  I’m also going to try something new, and cook a Chicken Korma Curry.  I’ll also try to cooke some Naan bread in the coals. 

Of course, I’ll be taking photos and blogging them.  Until then here are some piccies of previous camping trips to keep you happy till I get back:

Cheers for now, Dugie.
