Now that's more like it!!
Well it looks like life is taking a hold more than usual. I'm out on the DO contest as I'm not able to allocate research time for this, but I'll be attending still.
That's too bad Richard! Come see how its done and there will be no excuses come Mountain Rendezvous!
Richard, it looks like you might be shamed into participating!
Let me help you out with a simple recipe.
Bean Stew
Start by putting one or two pounds of ground beef, a pound of chopped bacon, chopped onion, salt and pepper into the Dutch oven. Put coals under the pot and brown the meat, bacon, onion in the Dutch oven until the meat is brown in color and the bacon is done. Pour out the liquid while keeping a bit of the bacon grease.
Pull out the three to five cans of beans you bought at the truck stop on the way to the Rendezvous. Think about maybe picking the BBQ beans on the shelf along with the, black beans, white beans, baked beans or whatever kind of beans you find. It really does not matter!
Using your trusty P-38, open all the cans of beans, pour out the water in the cans and dump the beans into the Dutch oven over the ground beef and bacon. Because you could not help yourself and the truck stop lady said it was good; squirt in a bottle of BBQ sauce and a bottle of ketchup. Season and spice to taste. ( If you accidentally chop up some kielbasa and throw it in the pot at the same time as the beans ... that's OK!)
Stir all the components together in the pot and put hot coals under the pot and on the lid. Stir occasionally and let simmer.
Serve when hot and take home the grand prize!!!
OK, now you really don’t have an excuse!

I think you're right @TemboTusk . Dutch Oven ordered. I need to stop coming onto this forum as you guys are a horribly awesome influence. What am I saying, it was an eventuality anyways.
With great power comes great responsibility, Dorothy.

What's ethnic to Torrance?
What's ethnic to Torrance?
Ethnic as in non-white people food, something from my blood lines. Current location has nothing to do with ethnicity (it's in the dictionary
). Torrance actually has a very high Asian and White population. You might say my ethnicity is the former of the two so I'll be adding my culinary experiment to the mix. Hopefully it's not a disaster as I've never cooked anything in a Dutch Oven.
