Oatmeal is one of my favorites. It's just so easy.
Bbq hamburgers warmed up on the wood stove is another favorite in homemade sauce.
Soups and stews.

ribs are my favorite.
I marinate overnight. the recipe uses lots of hard to find ingredients (fermented black bean) but man. i've given up slow roasting ... takes to long. or boiling first. takes all the flavour out.
give me a good rack of marinated ribs. takes about an hour on the grill on my propane stove top. sort of an on off process and they're done when they you bend 'em and they pull away from the bone.
probably had ribs 2-3 times a week all winter.
luv's me mah ribs.
still haven't found a rib dipping sauce that is quite perfect but having fun working on it.

Cabin Breakfast:
This started out as eggs-in-a-frame/chicken-on-a-raft and grew from there. The basic concept is a slice of bread with a hole cut in the middle and a fried egg in it. This is the new and improved version that we have every Sunday morning.
Fry up some half strips of bacon on a griddle.
While that is cooking, dice up some tomato, onion and green pepper (enough for a generous serving on each slice of bread you are doing). Put in a bowl that can be microwaved.
Butter one side of a slice (or slices) of bread and cut a large hole in the middle of each slice. Set the center portion aside.
When the bacon is cooked on the first side and you turn it over, put the chopped veggies in the microwave for 2 minutes.
Remove from microwave and stir. Set aside.
When the bacon is finished cooking, put it between a couple of paper towels to remove the grease and set aside.
Drop the bread and the center cut-outs butter side down on the griddle. Put some pats of butter on the top side. When they are browned on the bottom, flip them over, break an egg into the hole in each slice and cook until you can flip the egg and slice of bread without breaking the yolk of the egg.
Flip over the bread and egg. Add the hot chopped vegetables. Put 4 half slices of bacon on each piece of bread. Add one slice of processed cheese and top with the cut out center portion. About 30 seconds later, slide it onto a plate. YUM!!

I got a lot of favorites but my pancakes are to die for. One little trick is I add seltzer water to the batter. Adds air and makes the cakes rise more. I use berries from my land depending on season. Mostly wild strawberries, blackberries or blueberries. I'm planting some raspberries this year. Topped with a pad of butter and drenched in grade A amber Vermont syrup. Slow cooked outdoors on my cast iron griddle. Add sausage or bacon
Eat it on the deck and wash the bass jump in the pond.
Heavenly
Of course eating outdoors even makes dirt taste good

Favorite meal is when the sweet corn is being sold by the local farmers. Pick up 12 ears, picked that day for $3. Steam them in the steam pot with some asparagus or broccoli, with crab legs and shrimp.
Dump it all on the table and go to town. With a good IPA as well.
Can't beat baking potatoes in the wood stove or the fire pit either.
And peach cobbler in the fire cooked in a dutch oven.

BEER
With fruit
Up until a couple decades ago I never really cared what kinda beer.
Cold beer was....better.
But one time, while team driving with a happening dude, we stopped for the night.
Found a bar.
Shot the breeze about the usual; politics, sports, economics, ingrown toenails, carburation vs fuel injection, and....beer.
He seemed to know his way around several types and flavors; pilsners, stouts, lagers, ales, porters and on and on.
My main selection was 'wet'.
I noticed he had a piece of fruit in his beer.
'Corona with lime, good beer.'
I try one.
Actually, it was rather refreshing.
But just that one time.
Dark beer
While golfing, my club wielding hippy buddy offered one of his porters.
Black Butte porter
Man, that was gooooood beer.
Was
For awhile it became my beer of choice.
Then, like an old girlfriend...the flame went out as fast as it flared up, my taste for it just disappeared.
IPA
After months of just getting whatever was on sale, cabi and I dropped by the Edgefield poor farm, one of McMenamins beer gardens.
Cool place.
One of our sometimes favorite haunts.
A quaint place on the grounds is called the 'little red shed'.
Cozy
Stone fireplace
Bowls of peanuts, of which you were encouraged to toss the shells on the dirt floor.
Short bar, rather up close and personal.
I asked the barkeep what his favorite beer was.
'IPA'
'I Pee what?'
'India pale ale'
He then went on with the IPA story about the Brits needing beer in India.
He drew one for me.
Not a lager
Not a pilsner
Definitely not a dark beer
Not any ale I'd ever had.
It was very good.
Distinctly good.
It became the beginning of a fascinating quest for me to find the best one. The best of the best in my opinion.
I'd actually hoped I'd never find it.....traveling around, tasting, sampling.
But,
the hunt is over.
Found it at Gustav's
This beer, this medium dark beer....not dark, not amber, but a rich bodied color of....maybe mahogany, was capped with a glorious head.
A head that was not scraped off, but about two inches higher than the brim.
A head of tight little bubbles, bubbles so small they didn't really look like bubbles at all, but more like combed fleece.
This beer, this beer looked the epitome of the word 'quench'.
I knew I'd found it.
I hoped I'd found it.
I hoped it tasted half as good as it looked.
It tasted...better.
There is none other for me.
I cannot go back.
I refuse to go forward.
Why would I?
I have arrived at my destination.
It'll be at the cabin from time to time.
cheers
BTW, I really don't drink much beer.
I'm the guy sittin' there with six or eight beers in front of me when folks are buying rounds.
Just can't drink it that fast....like to savor it some.
Did I go off topic?....I feel I went off topic
....and now, back to our regularly scheduled program

Dutch Oven cooking on an open fire is my favorite. Just love being outside. I like to have a nice cut of beef, potatoes, carrots, onion, and spices. take about 2 1/2 hours of sitting by the fire (great time to have a beer or 2, or a glass of wine) before you put the dumplings on. put the dumpling on and in 15-20min later dinner is ready. mmm

Oh yes, fresh sweet corn. The days of summer can't get here soon enough.
I pity those of you that think corn comes in a can or frozen. Corn picked in season fresh off the stalk needs no butter or salt.
We have several Amish farms nearby that keep us in good supply while it is in season.
Soak the corn in water un-husked for about an hour or more then grill it husk on.

I like to eat the corn warm right off the stalk. Just raw. It's my favorite way to eat it.
I am hungry now too and can't wait until summer veggie season!

Last weekend I was the only adult at the cottage on Lake Erie with 3 grand children . This can be a danger-is thing, as PAPA sometimes gets a little to close to realty for his grand kids urban culture . as in [[ teacher,, did you know that Morning Doves are stupid ,,, you can walk right up to them with the bb gun and they won't even move ???? ]] ..
But back to food .. I awoke at 6.45 Sat. morning to the smiling face of my 7 year old grand daughter , we soon went to the big window that faces the lake to see the day before us . The lake was as blue as ever, still with some shore ice, and on the ice there were some dark shadows similar to the photo below . WALRUS!! , I said ...... Well !! by the time the excitement was over she had the other two kids up and dressed.and off to the beach to prove me right or wrong .I guess You were wrong papa , the returners replied with there 6 wet feet ... Hence lunch " RECIPE BELOW "
WALRUS SOUP
1 walrus ---optional
1 cup --- left over taco meat from last night
1 can tomato soup
1 cup milk
1 cup pasta
cook WALRUS --- OPTIONAL
COOK THE REST along with a grilled cheese and your good to go till Mum & Dad get here for supper .
One of the best meals I have had lately
Now printed out and on display at the cottage
