Camp Rice & Mushrooms
https://vimeo.com/421069177 I cooked this on my Biolite Campstove2, using pellets for fuel. Any campstove will work. The trick is to fashion a double boiler. I broke up several small branches and tossed them in my large camp pot to form a trivet. I put...
Take & Bake Pizza with Wild Mushrooms
https://vimeo.com/419668102 Of course, take and bake pizza is a cheat but this is, after all, Cooking For Guys. Besides, this post is as much a brag about a successful mushroom hunt as it is about pizza. Amy, Andy and I took the sidecars up the ridge to...
Mushrooms on Toast
For a simple, quick breakfast it is hard to beat mushrooms on toast. In the spring I use morels, in the fall, chanterelles. Other mushrooms can be substituted. Ingredients toast fresh mushrooms - whatever is in season onion or shallots minced garlic...
Asparagus and Morels
Several years ago, a local timber company locked down the woods behind my house due to fire danger. One of their fallers set fire to the ridge the very next day. It burned for a week. The following spring, we went up there and harvested morels from the scorched...

Camp Tittyhahaha 2005 Day 3
Saturday morning, I awoke to babies screaming in a neighbor's tent. Camping in a parking lot, even a pretty one, has its drawbacks. 7/ 26/25 Walter and I took a short walk to relieve ourselves, then returned to camp. The Activities Director was updating the days...
Good Morning
2/10/26 6:30 33F (0.5C) No wind, no moon. A dense fog has settled in the canyon. Birds are twittering, unseen in the brume. Passing cars whir over damp pavement, poking their headlights ineffectually through the murk. Good morning. ...
Good Morning

Good Morning
2/8/26 7:45 40F (4.4C) Overcast and wet. No wind. Mist drifts down the ridge through the the dark silhouettes of tall conifers. The sky is sodden gray and leaking. It rained all day yesterday. Apparently, it rained all last night. It is raining now....
