Looking good, I have not even toutched mine.

Looking good, I have not even toutched mine.

I have a lot of work to do on it, and the earlier I start with this, the better for everyone involved.
Better for the family, because I can afford to spend small chunks of time instead of big globs on this.
Better for the ski, because I do a better job without the pressure.
Better for me, just because I keep my sanity.

Miscellaneous pictures from the Bull******** category.
Every now and then I get hungry and bored, so I do stuff with my dutch oven.
This time I tried bread, which was a first. Turned out well.

Then there's Phill's chosen method of transportation for the hull he pilfered from Suva.
SAFETY FIRST!!!

I have not. I bet it makes for a great deep dish pizza. Might have to try that out.

We use crescent roll dough for the crust, it is one of our camping dishes.

Nice, I'll give it a try this weekend.

I'm fond of doing deserts in it. Recently, we made apple crisp and Mississippi Mud Pie in it.

Cooking != eating

More often than not, I cook something and have Jeremy eat it (I try only a small portion)
I've lost about 10lbs on myself thus far.

If you are going to try something different try styrofoam, you can even calculate how much you need to float your SJ. Plus Kawasaki already did the R&D for you!

i'm liking the idea of no two part foam to absorb water...

 

[Matt_E]

No 2-part foam in this one. :bigok:
