New Recipe and a Rainy Night

After a rainy day of climbing (there have been quite a few here) and looking out into the pouring rain from my car, the thought of returning to the campground to cold and wet was not appealing. Remembering an earlier plan to have supper at a friends cabin, a third friend and I decided to make it happen. After a quick raid of our dry food bins and scrambling up a bunch of food items, still unsure how to combine, we headed over to the heat, had nice hot showers, listened to the rain hit the tin roof, had a couple of beers and came up with this great new recipe. Who says you can't be creative when cooking when camping.

So here goes:

Dish #1

Rice with mushrooms (saute mushrooms with a little oil before adding rice and water).
Add olives and pesto sauce after boiling rice.

Dish #2

Fry onions, mushrooms, garlic, tofu, tomato paste and canned tomatoes, chili powder with some oil.

Combine, with a side of corn and you have an amazingly tasty meal. One for the recipe books for sure.

And then for desert:

Cut 1 banana (per person) down the center, pack with chocolate (preferably dark chocolate). Wrap in foil (can be done on barbq or oven). Cook until chocolate melted.
Open banana, add ice cream of your choice on top and eat directly from banana.

A very tasty treat!
