While camping recently, we all took turns cooking for everyone else. We ate pretty well over the three days!
The first night Margi made a delicious camp oven apricot chicken and Brett and I cooked chicken and lamb in the weber on Friday night for dinner.
Bonnie and Ben were responsible for lunch on Friday and made damper hotdogs on the campfire. Bonnie did good, they hit the spot after a morning of rain.
6 hotdogs
2 cups SR Flour
30 grams butter or margarine
3/4 cup buttermilk
1 egg, lightly beaten
Rub butter into flour with fingertips until it resembles breadcrumbs. Pour in milk and mix until you have a soft dough.
Divide dough into six portions. On a floured surface, roll each portion into a rectangle. Place hotdog and one end of the rectangle and then roll up to encase the hotdog. Brush dough with egg.
Place onto a hotplate over camp fire, turning several times to cook dough.
Enjoy with some tomato sauce.
To change this recipe up a bit, you could
- add a little cheese to the dough
- spread some caramelised onion on dough before wrapping hotdog
- spread a little mustard on the dough before you wrap the hotdog
- lay some bacon on the dough before wrapping hotdog
- instead of a hotdog, use a cheese kransky or kabana sticks
Fun - #fmy52weeksofmemories
Thursday of last week we set off on a family camping trip. We camped in Victoria, just over the South Aussie border at McLennan's Punt campsite, on the Glenelg river.
The weather wasn't that kind to us, but we did manage a whole day with sunshiny skies and NO rain.
Despite our weather woes it was fun. The kids had a great time, although Summer woke up the first morning saying she was excited to go home.
There was no phone service, the break from it was nice. The girls played games, me too. They fished, laughed, ran, jumped and were introduced to geocaching by their cousin. They loved 'treasure hunting' and want to do more. Which ultimately means I will be learning how to do it. The nagging started yesterday as soon as we arrived home, to go and find some treasure.
What was not much fun, was packing up in the rain and coming home to the washing. To describe it as a mountain would be an understatement.
It was heaven sleeping in my own bed.
It'll be a while before we go again!
