[at-l] Cooking for 5

[Bluetrail@aol.com]

The setting:  5 friends camping at Cumberland Island the last weekend of 
January.  You have to take a ferry (people only) over.  We will have an MSR 
dragonfly for cooking.  We do have a bakepacker oven (gift from a friend who 
won it at an FT raffle.)  I don't think campfires are allowed.  We are 
camping at a campsite near enough to the dock to take a cooler.  

The challenge:  We have to cook dinner one night and another couple is 
cooking the other night.  The other couple will drag everything under the sun 
over on the ferry--including a tablecloth and a coleman stove if I know 
them--and I do.  Now, not that I'm all that competitive (okay, I am, but I 
don't want to admit it), I could use some ideas for a killer dinner that 
shows you don't have to use a two-burner stove to turn out a great meal for 5 
people.  It's the size of our largest titanium pot that seems to be the 
limitation; it's just big enough for a Lipton meal with a can of tuna thrown 
in.  I guess I could take a regular pot from home.  

The plea:  Surely the collective wisdom of the FT-L can come to our rescue 
with great ideas for a super menu.  Bearing in mind that this isn't really a 
backpacking trip but that we're limited to what will fit on top of a 
dragonfly stove, what's the best meal/menu you ever had on a camping trip???  
(And don't forget any necessary receipes!)

Bon Apetite,
Joan
