[at-l] Ruck stuff

["John and Bethany Garrett" <backpack@fuse.net>]

Hi all!

 

We were the early birds that left at 6am, good thing too, the snow really started up withing 15 min. It quit by daybreak so it was a quick drive back to Dayton. I apologize to the gentleman I asked to go wake my husband up. I hated to miss the blueberry pancakes at 8am. I'll plan to stay later next time!

 

We sure did enjoy the presentations. The  light-weight backpacking tips - great information and the "Stone Soup" was delicious! I hope some of you got to read the "original" stone soup recipe stuck in with my picture album. The auction was awesome and I love my calander. I really didn't think they made stoves that small. I caught some of the slide shows and what I didn't catch, John told me about. Thanks for the great company and the opportunity to introduce ourselves.

I enjoyed the RUCK immensely and look forward to seeing all of you folks next year!

 

I did promise some of the ladies this recipe so here goes.....I hope this isn't a no-no.

 

Broccoli Cole slaw salad:

 

1 pkg broccoli slaw mix

1 sm. purple onion

2 ribs of celery (chopped)

2 pkg ramen noodles (chicken flavor)

Dressing:

2/3 cup olive or canola oil

1/3 cup white vinegar

1/2 cup white sugar

2 pkg of chicken seasoning from noodles

 

Mix cole slaw mix, onion. celery and ramen noodles (which have been crushed) in a large bowl. Make dressing and toss.

It is better if  you make it several hours ahead (or overnight) before you serve it, so the noodles will be soft.

 

Enjoy!
