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

  1/11/26 6:30 35F (1.6C) Cool, calm, with a light overcast. The moon in its last quarter is low in the south,  mid-transit shining through the willows. Today is as a good as day as any to stand with our community and say "Fuck ICE. Fuck Trump.  Fuck the MAGAts."...

Good Morning

    1/10/26 6:30 33F (0.5C) Calm, dry, icy. The waning half moon glows dimly through a gauzey veil of clouds. Something just grabbed a duck from the pond. I could hear them thrashing, wings beating the water, and the frightened calls of his companions making...

Camp Rice & Mushrooms

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...

Crab-Stuffed Morels

Crab-Stuffed Morels

I returned to a favorite patch of morels for a third picking the other day. Holy Smokes! They weren't just plentiful, they were giant! These were some of the biggest morels I've ever found, several of them were 7" tall with caps hovering between 4" and 4.5", one of...
