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
2/5//26 6:15 40F (4.4C) Calm, overcast with a light mist. Another tranquil morning . The moon, waning gibbous behind the clouds, lends the sky a dull gray glow. The cat is eating breakfast on the front porch. The dog is in watchful repose on the...
Good Morning
2/4/26 6:00 40F (4.4C) No wind, no rain. Somewhere behind the clouds the moon is smiling. Owls call back and forth. A dog barks up the canyon and Walter answers. A car hurries by, headlights flashing through the oaks. Overhead, the distant rumble of a...
Good Morning
2/3/26 6:15 38F (3.3C) Calm, overcast, with a light mist tickling my face. Not much going on yet. A few cars headed to town. Walter is taking a nap between rounds of the perimeter. The rooster has crowed but is not yet insistent. I slept well and am...

Take-out
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
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...
