Breakfast in Bed (in an indirect way)
Posted: Tue May 05, 2009 2:03 pm
Folks are always talking about keeping toasty warm while camping. My son's scoutmaster learnt me a neat trick. Take along an extra dutch oven and some potatoes. (That's potatoes with an "e" for any Republicans keeping track.) While your fire is dancing merrily about, keeping you company, wrap some potatoes in foil (whole, unpealed) and put them in the dutch oven. Put the dutch oven in the fire (I think that part is obvious). In a couple of hours, just about bedtime, take the potatoes to bed with you. Keeps you nice and warm, and guess what? You'll have some hash browns or fried tater cubes for breakfast. Don't forget the ketchup.
