What are we doing for food, and when?

---

A number of requests have been made for more of my Chorizo and Basmati Rice.

As for when…

Friday night? Saturday night?

Well…

(Y’all might be sorry he asked – `cause I’m gonna answer in typical ‘Smiley’ fashion…)


Because I’m either headed into town for supplies, or back at camp cooking - somehow I always seem to miss out on the best trail-runs… not to mention all of those bullets that I sweat, worried that I might not cover the expenses. --- This is especially true of the Friday night feasts, where we usually have a much smaller group than we do on Saturdays.

Then there’s the other side of the coin…
For quite a while now we’ve been asking $10.00 per-person, per meal – and then doing our best to make it worth the asking price. --- However, last time around, due to a number of factors, things didn’t work out quite as well as I would have liked… Instead of the usual ‘Meal fit for a King’, it ended up being nothing but steak with a side-order of more steak (Major Ooooops!)

There’s just no way to tell you how sorry I was about that one!



In order to prevent such a terrible blunder from ever occurring again - while at the same time, in the hope of relieving Mr. Smiley’s stress level a bit - I’ve decided to only prepare ONE meal per trip; and since there are always more people in attendance, it will be on Saturday nights from now on. --- Additionally, I’m going to see what I can do to reduce the asking price down to $5.00 per-person (Although, sadly, this means we may never have steak again).


There are a number of dishes I can prepare that, with a little advance planning, I can probably pull off for $5.00 per-person (Buying the ingredients ahead of time - that might even include my Chorizo & Basmati Rice!) --- And by only having to concentrate on doing ONE meal, I should be able to manage it without any future absentee side-dish fiascos.

Do we need to get a grill?

Or are we going to all fend for ourselves this time around?

I figured id just get the ball rolling, as this is usually a pretty big discussion piece this close to the event....

Jordan, I’m glad you spoke-up… I’ve been putting the subject off for far too long already.


Cheers!
