Camping the SW way

[Lacurrie]

What a fab thread! I'm off for our first family holiday in 2 weeks time. Were packing up the tent and essentials in the car and DRIVING to Bavaria, stopping off at Bruges and the Mosel valley and staying in Metz on the way back. Wish us luck road trippin' with an 18 month old ;-)

What I do is make batches of curry, chilli, stew etc (anything you can have with rice!) and freeze it.. Pop it in a cool box frozen and it's still frozen until the next day.. So we save a day doing that.. Making it keep for about 4 days. We also take pleanty of cous cous, tinned toms, rice and apples! But BBQ is the best camping meal and can be had in such a variety of ways!
I love the filled jackets idea!!

Camping

I go caravaning on a regular basis and was given a electric frying pan - it's from Ideal World and you plug it in and use it like a hot plate but it also has a lid so I make risotto, curry and other meals but you can also use it in the morning for frying eggs and bacon - it's non stick so you don't need oil - i think they still do them and they are brilliant (for those like me who need electric hook ups!!)

(for those like me who need electric hook ups!!)

I can't enjoy camping without hook up. Need a fridge portable dvd player and most importantly hair straightners!

Baked Bean and Mushy pea curry - delicious! Followed by a banana wrapped in foil (with a few chocolate buttons added in if you have the syns) and cooked in the campfire.
