    I just went solo camping for the first time this weekend! My favorite meal I made was khichdi, I just put some rice, red lentils, and Indian spices in a mason jar before I left and added water and a chopped tomato to cook, it came out delicious ☺️ I love your quesadilla ideas, I’ll have to do one next time!

    • @softroadingthewest
      @softroadingthewest  2 года назад +1

      That's a good idea! I really like pre-prepping at home for easier meals once I'm out there, but I have to admit I rarely actually get around to it and often end up buying groceries on my way out of town, haha. Your mason jar meal sounds tasty!

    Chef Don, this video was awesome and one I will watch over and over to get the cooking sequences down. I love to experiment when I'm out overland camping. Nothing worse than pouring hot water into a bag of dehydrated food stuff, waiting 10 to 15 minutes, then eat the contents. Ok for backpacking but not when you have an outdoor kitchen available to make whatever you fancy. Your meals looked five star. One of my favorites you cooked was the sausage and lentil meal. I love making an Italian soup with sausage and lentils. OMG! Now I'm hungry. Super video, Don, and thanks for sharing.

  • @metaxaanabeer
    @metaxaanabeer 3 года назад +3

    OK, this might get long but the prize is in the eating. You need orecchiette pasta (small shells will do), a can of baby clams, two small tins of tuna in olive oil, a jar of 4 cheese Alfredo sauce, minced garlic cloves, a couple of green onions, some red or orange pepper. some red pepper flakes, S&P, oregano. Drain the tuna oil into a fry pan, get water for the pasta going. Toss in all the seasonings and veg into the pan to sautee. Add the drained clams. (keep the broth in case you need to thin the end product.) Add the tuna and break up. Pasta should be on the boil now. After the clams/tuna and veg/seasoning have sauteed and melded together pour in the Alfredo and mix well. Low simmer. drain the pasta, toss with the clam/tuna sauce and sprinkle with some parsley if so inclined. Orecchiette looks like ears, so welcome to the Ears of Charlie Twofish. Wonderful camping meal as none of it requires a cooler or fridge on the way to camp. So its a good day 3 or 4 meal. Plus it tastes great. Want more or real clams...go for it. Want some prawn action in there, go for it. Want a different white sauce...sure.

    I'm building out the back of my 2016 Forester with a pull out kitchen and using your build for some inspiration. I picked up the Flame King 5 pound propane tank. Do you have a video where you talk about how you use it? Is it semi-perm mounted in the car somewhere or do you pull it out and hook it up every time you use the stove?
    I haven't been this excited about starting a project/hobby in a long time!! It's helping my depression a bit! Now just to find some good dispersed campsites and forest roads in PA!
    EDIT: Nevermind. I found your video posted on 2/29/2020 and it answered my question :)

      Cool. Yeah, I've just been carrying the propane bottle in the car, but that was always an interim solution. My intention (before the Forester was wrecked) had always been to build rear swing outs for my spare tire and extra fuel, and I was going to add a mount for a 5-pound propane bottle so it would be permanently outside and also right there next to my stove. Would still need to be hooked up each time though. Good luck with the build, and remember it doesn't need to be perfectly dialed in before you get out and do some exploring & camping. Sometimes being out there using the gear brings about ideas for what makes the most sense for you. Have fun!
