I know this may be unkosher, but as opposed to using this blog to post drunken rants about pubes and all matters fecal, I am going to take a mild detour into Practical Town.
If this offends anyone, I am sorry.
I am tossing this out to any Corral members who are interested. I am going to try to put together a food group for camping. This will bring down cost, reduce effort, and hopefully, produce less dishes (tight). Here is a basic menu I am thinking. If other people have changes they want to make or whatever, let me know.
Lunches (2) - Sammiches
turkey, butterball, 20 oz. for 4 bucks at safeway
bread
tomato
onion
mustard
breakfast (2)
Eggs
Bacon
Tortillas (just for shits)
Maybe throw in some salsa or bell peppers and shit.
Dinner 1
Hot dogs (16 oz pack of chicken dogs at safeway for $1. No kidding)
We could also do ground meat burgers, for $3.49 a pound, or turkey burgers for even less.)
Chili (for the hot dogs) - most likely free from soup freaks.
Corn on the cob maybe?
Watermelon ($2 for a whole one at Safeway!)
Dinner 2
Spaghetti
Sauce
Maybe some ground meat to toss in
I am open to side dishes on this one...
So there you have it. I was going basically for cheapness, and minimal amounts of prep. Also, who has a cooler chest?
Let me know what you think.

This is ridiculous cause I have an ongoing list of camping stuff that I work on at work and was going to send out an email about food soon. Ha. But this works just fine. Basically you're right and we should consilidate to make things easier. Dk and Cristin already expressed interest in being in a tight food group. I was going to get 20 bucks from anyone that wanted to be in said group and go shopping thursday night (which is the new friday).
On to the food. GK pretty much nailed it here. (heh nail) I have a few different things on my list mostly from the last few times camping since that is easy.
Lunch
PBandJ, apples, trail mix.
Breakfast
Pretty much the same. Thinking eggs, bacon, hash browns are pretty cheap and definitely adding pancakes. A camping must.
Dinners
Cari and I were thinking of doing whole group dinners cause thats sweet but probably just on saturday which would be the pasta dinner as below. Should be easy and cheap. Plus need to add garlic bread because that's fun to cook over the fire. Potentially a basic salad too.
Dinner 1 I was thinking about burritos. (tortillas, beans, tomato, avo, cheese) Pretty easy and good, but I could be swayed to something else though.
Other items include smores stuff, chips and salsa.
Good call on the watermelon. And DK has a cooler and I'm going to get one too. Probably go BYOB as well.
Thoughts?
Whoops. I meant to say GC for genghis casidy not GK. I'm drunk.
Yeah, this is pretty sweet. For sammiches, do you want to go PBnJ PLUS turkey style, or just PBnJ. Both are reasonable; I am just curious.
For the burritos, it would be good to get the chili from soupfreaks anyway, as it would be like beans but with meat and shit (not literally) in it, too. Plus, I know this is kind of cheating, I could prepare some spanish style rice the night before.
Who is going to be around tomorrow night? It would be good to get a bunch of people together in a room, and figure out what everyone wants, and how to deal with it.
Ok, balls.
