It's always difficult to come up with something to feed the work crew for Saturday night out at the hangar. It's not as if I don't have lots of recipes that Dan and Ken just love. It's the lack of facilities that I have to work with. Of course I can't use my gas stove on board, but I used to have a full electric stove in the hangar kitchen that was at my disposal each weekend. That is now a thing of the past, as the oven no longer works and two of the burners no longer function.
I do have a large electric frying pan on board that I use to make breakfast, plus I sometimes bring my Slow Cooker/Crockpot out and plug it in. But all of these things make it a matter of planning. I can't just grab something from Sobeys once I'm out in Gimli, without also considering, "How am I going to cook this?"
Of course all of this dilemma could be eliminated if we just went out to a restuarants every night, but I'm far to cheap for that. Dan and I only go out to eat once or twice a summer. I am willing to spend the money on the best of ingredients, but I am not willing to pay someone to cook them.
It's
the same reason I don't go out to bars. I'm willing to pay for the
basic ingredients, but I'm not willing to pay the extra to have someone
pour it in a glass for me. I have far more important things to do with
my money.
I THINK IT WILL BE A CROCK POT MEAL THIS WEEKEND
