More pics of last year’s fun.

Ever wonder what would happen if you got in a hurry and tried to ice a warm cake with hot icing?

Ever wonder what would happen if an otherwise mild-mannered hunting dog got a chance to run off with the rope chew toy of a relative’s lap dog?

A big hit from last year was the smoked turkey that we cooked in a roasting pan over low-ish heat in a grill–while really pouring on the smoke from damp crabapple wood chips that were wrapped in a foil pouch that we pierced with a fork. This trick is great for adding flavor when cooking on a gas grill!

And we are still talking about how cold it was in South Dakota…

Happiness is a full belly and a warm bed.

The biggest hit at the camp house is always duck roll-ups. Seasoned strips of wild duck breast are doused with olive oil, wrapped in bacon, then slow-roasted over a smoky fire. We never manage to get any pics of them after they are cooked but before they get eaten.

We’ll have to give a more detailed version of the latest variations on this recipe. We continue to refine it, with tasty results.

Look for another round of pics from last season, including some shots of other dishes we cooked while roughing it.
