Please tell me your "easy food" ideas .

Rick ,

Sounds like my sort of goo . Easy to make and little washing up . I use paper plates where possible , to minimize the dreaded washing up . I will buy some and do a test .

I don't know about the jaffles . There is no fresh bread where I'm going . I guess I could freeze some , although my freezer will be full of cryovac meat from a good butcher in Sydney .

Have you ever tried making a jaffle out of that Lebonese type bread that everybody seems to make wraps out of these days ?

I started to quiver at your mention of gold . I remember on some other post that you were going fishing as well . Does the stream you are on, flow west or east ? Caught anything ? No lies !

Willie .

Yeah that goo will really stick to ya ribs on a cold Winter night.....will even take the growl out of a worn differential too....

Well, I don't have to lie about the fish..I haven't caught any, but I hasten to ad that I haven't spent much time or effort in that pursuit as yet...although I did get the rod out and rig it up and I did change from a deep diving lure to a shallow variety.

The "Neighbours" have caught a reasonable yellowbelly and a carp and assorted turtles...we tried our opera house traps and the turtles did a job on the bait too....needless to say they're back on the roof rack.

There is big fish in the waterhole here and in early morn and late arvo it pop's a snack from the surface with an almighty splash...and of course out comes the rod and the lure gets wet again. I'm dreaming it's a Murray Cod...haven't seen as many waterhen the last couple of DAZE....

It's little wide to the snags on the other side...so a tinnie would be the ticket.

The Gwydir flows West from Armidale to Bundarra then on to Inverell where it runs into Copeton Dam.....from there it flows Westward through Bingara and then Moree , meets the Horton and then eventually flows into the Barwon.
Plenty of Carp here...I watched about 5 of them feeding in the shallows one afternoon...had their backs and dorsal fin well out of the water.

We just added to our personal best with the latest gold speck tally soaring...we can actually see some colour in the bottom of the bottle know.
This said...I really don't think that I have enough gold to go into town to buy an ice cream let alone get drunk and buy a whore for the night like the miners did in days gone by.

So I guess it'll be a few Rum and Cokes by the river and some marinated chicken wings on the BBQ and few sweet words from Julie...

Gosh look at the time....
Cheers
Rick

We haven't used a jaffle iron camping since our old one got too hot and warped so it wouldn't shut around 12-15 years ago. At home in the electric jaffle makers, i always use commercial frozen puff pasty. We like the results much better than when using bread. We wouldn't really have room to carry pastry in the freezer when caravanning and making it by hand is toooo much like hard work for a holiday.

Mh

Gees Mrs Hen ,
Electric jaffle maker ? Puff pastry jaffles ? Your a bit posh !
Willie .

Hi Willie

Not in the caravan though. Bread doesn't have to be fresh to make jaffles - so long as it hasn't got to the blue spotted stage.

Some caravaners take electric bread makers and run the genny so they can make fresh bread. We can cope with crisp bread type of biscuits when the bread runs out. It would be very different if the BT was our home, as it is for some travellers.

Hi Rick

If you use just a knife for making the jaffles - wipe it clean with a paper towel - then still no washing up.

Mh

Yo MotherHen,
We always carry the breadmaker with us in the BT and the Honda EU20i completes the fresh bread thing. Nothing like the smell of it cooking..

We also keep a pack of Puff Pastry sheets on the floor of the freezer in the BT...takes up hardly any room at all and like yourself have used the Puff Pastry in the Jaffle Iron and It makes really nice apple pies if you get a tin of pie apples out of the pantry.....also a sprinkle of raw sugar in the jaffle iron before laying in the Puff Pastry also adds to the flavour....... as well as the waistline.

Naughty but Nice.
Cheers
