obadiah	01/31/2009 01:59PM brats/hamburgers with baked/boiled/fried potatoes.
marsonite	01/28/2009 07:58PM This year we tried something new and brought in a Caesar Salad kit and grilled some chicken to go with it. That was a hit.
TomT	01/28/2009 06:35PM Kielbasa and kraut sounds like it could be a plan. With mustard of course.
togue	01/27/2009 11:41PM We always plan on new york strips or ribeyes. We always end up eating fish. The Fiejta's sound good though.
mr.barley	01/27/2009 11:13PM Finally....someone besides our group who does kraut in the BW.
Savage Voyageur	01/27/2009 07:44PM First night supper has to be steak, and a mixture of potatoes carrots and onions in a foil pouch.
Parnell	01/25/2009 04:36PM This year I want to try foiling up some ring bologna cooked in lots of kraut and foiled fire baked potatoes:)
overthehill	01/24/2009 05:56PM I've never done the lobster tail in the BWCA, but MrBarley's picture does it for me! (with real butter, of course!) :)
Traveler	01/24/2009 02:48PM Steak and potatoes and onions. Truth is, I am usually so glad to be there on the first night out that I am sure I would be content with anything!
mongo65	01/24/2009 09:35AM Butter is a vegetable! So is bacon!
TomT	01/23/2009 09:42PM Ooooh ya, butter. Mmmm. Thanks for all the info. Gonna have lobster in the BW!
mr.barley	01/23/2009 08:20AM Tom T, Yup, pull the meat away from the shell to prevent it from sticking to the inside of the shell when cooked. Also, cook it shell side to the heat. You can also smear the inside of the shell with butter before replacing the meat and then freeze it. Be careful when you take the foil off. Hot butter care be very painful.
TomT	01/23/2009 03:06AM Thanks Mr. B. Lemme get this straight cause I'm gonna do this. I loosen the meat from the shell but leave it sit back in the shell?
always jobless	01/23/2009 01:48AM steak, taters, corn chased with a nice 12 yr scotch this combo could make a commercial.
mr.barley	01/22/2009 11:09PM Tom T, What you do is buy a whole lobster tail, split it in half and pull the meat away from the shell. This eliminates the meat sticking to the inside on the shell when cooked. Then wrap in foil and freeze it. I don't think I need to tell you to put it in a ziplock or 2 so it doesn't leak juice out in transport. By the time you're to your campsite it should be thawed out. Then you just put it on your firegrate with your steak (still in the foil of coarse). Heavenly.
mongo65	01/22/2009 08:50PM Steak & Bakers. Top it off with a good bourbon.
myceliaman	01/22/2009 04:01PM I'll second the venison back strap. We brought a full tenderloin in last year. You wouldn't think 2 guys could kill a full tenderloin but we did with no issues. If one of my north woods buds kills a moose I always hit them up for some steaks prior to the trip.
MTYK	01/22/2009 01:48PM Steaks and either baby reds, garlic mashed, or grilling beans.
BlackBear08	01/22/2009 11:48AM Brats! potato, and cheesecake
TomT	01/19/2009 06:36PM That plate looks too good to be true. Ok, how do you do the lobster tail? Do you freeze it before the trip then boil it? Hate to say, but I've never cooked lobster before. :(
moose plums	01/19/2009 02:28PM My plate looks the same as Mr.Barleys. Throw in a huge Portobella mushroom.
trix	01/19/2009 01:58PM We are all about the Ribeyes or Sirloin Steak, instant mashed potatoes & frozen corn. Nothing like a steak over an open fire after a long day of travel! I like the Dole Complete salad idea too! Never ever thought of that for a first night!
Blackstick	01/19/2009 01:21PM Deer meat. Preferably backstraps.
silverback	01/19/2009 11:27AM Tenderloin (with Rupena's secret salt) and butter noodles. Wash it down with vodka and crystal lite.
mr.barley	01/19/2009 10:29AM Surf and turf! Usually a ribeye and shrimp, but we have done lobster also. With fresh asparagus from my patch.
TomT	01/18/2009 07:46PM Steak and baked potatoes. Eat the heavy perishable stuff first. It's great after a rough day.
kanoes	01/18/2009 06:52PM MmMmMMM....Dole Complete Salad (usually Caesar). great idea! thanks.
Bannock	01/18/2009 06:30PM Boneless steaks (rib eye or something similar), garlic mashed potatoes, Dole Complete Salad (usually Caesar), merlot wine.
Treeman	01/18/2009 05:15PM For me it has to be steak. 8oz. boneless ribeyes with mashed potatoes and peas. Yum!
SWB	03/12/2004 07:09PM Fiejta's--Oh yeah. I prep the meat in strips in fiejta marinate the night before I leave and put it into the freezer. Put the meat in a baggy. I'll then bring the cheese and onion & pepper in and cut that up right before i'm ready to cook that night. once you have the meat sauteed put in the onion & pepper. once everthing is cook i'll put a flower tortia shell right over the pan to steam it, once it is soft, i'll put cheese on it and a little of the contents of the pan. Roll it up and put another shell over the pan for steaming as I eat the first one.
