Getting close enough now to talk about the highlight...food!  Looks like so far we have 7 people staying in the cabin. @BigHandsRob +1, @fmcbrandon +1, DJ, @Daryk Campbell Sr , and myself.  Maybe we will get lucky and get a couple others??(les??)???

 

Not sure what time The out of towners will be showing up Thursday, I would be fine cooking something if they wanna wait until they get there, or whatever.  thoughts?

I'm good to bring chili, and fixings.  Along with a deep fryer and oil with some fryables. Can pick up more if needed.

This is Les's famous chili recipe.  Worth the effort IMHO  I use venison instead of beef.

4 lbs ground beef

1 lb Williams Mild Sausage 

1 large yellow onion

2 heaping tablespoons minced garlic

1/3 cup chili powder

3 x 16 oz cans red beans drained and rinsed

2 x 14.5 ox cans diced tomatoes

14 oz beef broth

2 x 4 oz cans green chilis

5 beef boullion cubes

3 tsp garlic powder

3 tsp cumin

1 tsp black pepper

Make a big patty out of the meat and cook it on a grill with a rack over a pan.  Save the drippings for the chili.

Put everything in a big non-reactive dutch oven and smoke it for three or four hours over low to medium heat.  Always better to cook a day ahead second day is the best.

I may make some egg rolls to dip in.

I made some of the hot link snack sticks witch cheddar cheese again, and vacuum sealed them in packs.  I would hate for people to starve while they are out fishing.

 

DJ said he is bringing a cheesecake and some backstrap.

I am going to make something cajun one night.  I will let yall pick.  Jambalaya, Gumbo, or Etouffee. Etouffee is what I made last year.

I love the food discussions! We will be down around 9 or 10, so no need to cook for us.  Let me know what you need to me to bring.

I have plenty of fish in my freezer, how about I bring some spoonbill nuggets?

fish one night would be awesome.  I have some redfish in the freezer.

I'm about half tempted to come and lay around the house and eat for three days.
