who cooks?

[pete42]

Someone mentioned he did the cooking while camping which got me to thinking
when my late wife and I were tent camping I did all the cooking, coleman stove, cookbox ect.
when we went to a pop-up she started doing the cooking I don't know or remember why she just did.
after her passing and I was camping either alone or with someone I returned to doing all the cooking
either over the campfire or inside using stove or microwave or the grill.

I would like to know when you are camping who does the cooking?
when at home who does the cooking?

I cook at home and at camp. My wife's cooking doesn't extend much further than mac & cheese and tuna noodle casserole.

Well, my kids are 11 now, so I still do most of the cooking, both at home and camping. But I'm working on that. DD helps with cooking, she especially likes to chop onions, mince garlic (with a cooking Italian grandfather, she knows all dinner recipes start with onions and garlic!), and saute them. DS likes to plan what we're having, but isn't so much into the cooking part.

I cook at home, and I cook if I camping alone. If camping with the Tearjerkers or another group, I will gladly supply ingredients and help with the cooking, because I'm just not used to cooking for more than one. So, don't take offense if I don't cook....you may not like my recipes, although Sunny Day thinks the world of my cooking

I cook camping, because I camp alone. I cook at home because my wife does not want to and I enjoy it usually. There seems to be a shift going on as most of the guys I know do a lot of cooking both at home and out camping.

I didn't know anyone cooked anymore. I camp alone also so I do if it anything gets cooked.

I Do "All" of the cooking!! Sandi likes to read cook books though.
Oh....crap.....sorry I was just avoiding some flying object????
Sandi says she is going to have to go on the Forum and tell everyone here not to believe a word I say!!!
Okay....I do love to cook and she hates it. But she is a great cook (my new belly is proof....at first I thought she was just shrinking my clothes when she did the wash??)so we share the duties depending on who feels like what????
I am hoping she will love the galley I have built in "Miss Piggy".

When our twin boys were about that age, we finally set up a list of dinner suggestions and a schedule where Wednesday nights were "Kids Cook" and they would alternate weeks. The only real requirements were that there was a protein, vegetable and a starch. They would make such things as meatloaf, mashed potatoes and green beans, salisbury steak, turkey tetrazzini, among other complete meals. I don't recall them ever just making sandwiches. The most surprising thing was that they complained... about only being able to do it once every two weeks, so we let them each do one meal a week.

My mother was a Home-Ec teacher, and said that she had too much respect for her fellow women to turn me loose unless I could at least feed myself, sew on a button, wash and iron my own clothes. That is a philosophy that we have instilled in our two sons (one's wife actually caught the stove on fire)
At home, I do a lot of the cooking, especially off-the-wall stuff (darn you Food Network!) which suits my wife fine. SWMBO is a excellent cook, and had won awards at the AZ State Fair.

When we camp I cook... when we are at home my wife Mary and My Visa split the cooking duties.

The reason I like to camp while cooking.



I love the view from the kitchen!

Home, boat or camp, I do most of the cooking. Lance makes a wicked sandwich at lunch time and often time tends the meat on the grill while I do the rest, but cooking really isn't his thing. If I cook a big meal he usually cleans up, but we both enjoy cleaning up so we often do it together and it goes very quickly. No matter who is doing what we're usually in the kitchen together just to enjoy each other's company. It's easy to lose track of who is doing what.
