Sounds good except for the tomato soup. Not fond of it. I had a friend who thought the height of campout cuisine was tomato soup with hot dogs, but the the hot dogs were "cooked" by boiling them in the soup. Not on my watch.

 I think that's a cardinal sin of camping.

Good morning  I had a restless night last night.  I was too amped up, planning my visit with Cole and Randy,  making grocery lists, figuring the last touches on the house... I managed to get a little bit of sleep, but not as much as I would have liked.

You do know that regardless of whether you've everything ready they're still gonna come. I'm also pretty sure they're coming to visit you not your newly remodeled bathroom ... although it is a long trip so yeah, maybe they are coming for the bathroom.

G'day y'all. The lovely weather that Val was experiencing hasn't quite made it to me just yet though it is forecast.

I just finished the 14th and last chapter of Kabal, which is also the last chapter of the  TKM series! A little tweaking, betareading and editing, then I'm done. Okay, there's still the epilogue... LOL

I can't wait to read it, but I'm sad it's the last chapter of TKM series.

Congrats, Adi! I have been managing to get some writing done, slowly... I am at 1100 words on Chapter thirteen of a story I started before my injury... and finally see the light at the end of the tunnel.   Have a great day.

I might be complaining about the cold weather but it is great for soup

Tomato soup and toast just makes the world right  

Tomato soup speaks to me of my childhood... it was a wonderful staple for us.   Hey, Mister Bucket Man.

I am reading a book on gourmet camping food and in the forward the author describes how she refused to go camping because of the terrible food. Friends showed her the way to have “proper” food while camping and she has loved it ever since.

Dinner: pasta with creamy sauce, broccoli, mushrooms, dried tomatoes, and spring onions.

Same here. It’s the food to have after running around in the cold

Have a great day everyone

And sometimes we could even afford soda crackers to crumble into it.   Homemade bread soaked in it with each bite was awesome too.

There's nothing better than food cooked over a campfire.

It's become very pleasant here. The sun is quite warm, hot actually, it's 88/31° but there is a breeze and the dewpoint has dropped into the mid-50's/13° making for very comfortable humidity. I'll shut off the AC and open the house once the sun has gone down.
