Bright and early Thursday morning, Molly, Emily and I, along with six other lovely ladies are embarking on our wilderness adventure into the Boundary Waters Canoe Area.
Just because we're leaving civilization behind doesn't mean we can't enjoy civilized meals. Behold, food for nine people for four days...oh, except for the steak and chicken...and eggs...
And here are the same meals, sans the excess packaging, all protected in Ziploc baggies.
We don't believe in sacrificing flavor just because we have no electricity, electricity or running water. Actually, there is a LOT of running water, but not of the tap variety. No dehydrated food for us! Oh, no!
On the menu for this trip are such things as: steak, marinated chicken, pizza, breakfast burritos, Greek pita sandwiches, and other such delectable fare! Oh, and let's not forget the cheesecake...topped with cherries, of course! And the glory of it all, is that we will be burning so many calories paddling that we can eat all we want without even giving it a thought.
About the only thing I miss, food-wise, while I'm up there is ice cold Dr. Pepper...oh, and maybe ice cream :-)
The down-side to eating so well...all this food is HEAVY and the only way it's getting to our campsite is to carry it (over the portages). Ahh, but it's a price we will gladly pay for our tasty meals!

Are those *glass* pizza sauce jars I see in there? Tsk-tsk...no glass allowed in the BWCA!
ReplyDeleteWow, Chris, good eye! Don't worry, I'll be putting the sauce in plastic containers before we go! No worries, we follow all the rules, Mr. Boundary Waters Police Officer!
