Northwoods lobster.
Finally got the chance to sample some crayfish in August on Wood Lake.

Breakfast on Alpine Lake the spring (May 2006) before the big fire.

Thecanoewoman cooking up some pancakes with freshly picked blueberries.

That actually looks delicious and I like the garnish.

I guess my hotspot didn't pan out for you, it drove you to catching crayfish.

might not be one of our 'best' days out there but it was a breakfast we will never forget!!

thecanoeman - LOL! No, the fishing was great. But I've never seen so many crayfish! My son and I had a blast catching them. The garnish was my son's idea. Thanks again, BTW.

Ribeye, lobster,portabella mushrooms and fresh asparagus on Tiger Bay LLC in 2003 (I think).

Nothing like "home-made" cinnamon rolls!

Fresh Quetico Walleye for dinner over a beaverwood fire - does it get any better than this?

mr.barley
Where and when is your next trip. You'll see me racing to your campsite, but don't worry I won't be wielding a gun I'll be wielding a steak knife and fork.

One pot cookery on Crooked Lake.

Lake Trout and Wild Rice

I have no pictures of "meal time" in the BW. This one is preparing for meal time when we got into a site late on Hudson lake.

Hey Beamer,

That doesn't look like a the fire pit that was in my camp. I thought all fires were supposed to be in the fire pits they provide??? :)

My picture is were we set up a wind break behind a big rock and set up our propane stove to cook. It was very windy on our last trip. There aren't any pictures of our food but at least I can show you were we cooked.

360 shot of campsite of Gabbro Lake

Need I say more?

Looks delicious Plums! But next time I think you should use a little more oil.

Mr. Barley, you make me sick!!!!!!!!!!!!

Maddog - What campsite on Alpine was that picture taken ? I think I might have stayed there before. Thanks - Izzy

No firegrates in Quetico - no latrines or designated campsites for that matter. But obviously there are alot of walleyes :-)

Nothing like frog legs. Izzy

nothing fancy..

after a long day,pushing solo into the wind from Lady Boot Bay.
i just dumped the food bag out and thru together a Mac and Cheese
with a MRE chicken paddy..along with a rum and Tang drink it was
a feast...i'll put the tent up later..urpppp!!!--ahhh yes.....
...this is the "big rock" camp on Finger lake

I have a few to choose from. Most are better quality than this one, but I like what it says. This was from October 2006 on Kelso Lake. It wasn't too late, perhaps 5:00 pm, but it was already cold and dark. The perfect time for chili.

Nice meal mr.barley. After getting your e-mail, I'm glad that meal didn't include stewed tomatoes!

Supper is....Enjoying the catch..... July 25, 2007 Disappointment Lake



Woodpecker

Mr Barley--Tiger Bay???----is that a reflection of a house window
i see on the edge of that plate??..

You caught me! Yes, I dragged 3 big sitting logs up to my house and decided to eat my fancy meal off a lexan plate. Seriously, I don't know what reflections are, but I assume they are trees.

Here was mr.barley's lexan plate this past May with a fire ban influenced menu.
Surf minus the turf.

Nothing tastes better than a fire cooked meal after a day of paddling on Lac Lacroix.

I need to hang out with Mr. Barley and Snakecharmer. Look at those nice plates of food!!

All I ever had out there was Lipton pasta sides and fish for dinner.

First night steaks and potatoes on Iron Lake June 07

Hey! That reflection doesn't look like trees or windows. It looks like three statues. Mr Barley was on Easter Island!

Mom, cook'in in the BWCA- 1962

Kawishiway Porterhouse

French press coffee and soup for dinner

Steaks slapped right on the grate - the way God intended.

Spaghetti on Williamson Island, Insula Lake 2006.

Amen, Snakecharmer.

Now we know why Bears frequent campsites with all these steaks on the barby! :)

Looks like MREs again.

Last Night Chili



This batch of chili is the very reason they invented solo shelters. Pretty much everything we had left over went into this pan of chili, Mexican rice, onions, 5-day old cheese, summer sausage etc. One more reason to sleep in a hammock.

Steak, chicken breasts and veggie kabobs...yum

Delivery?

The theme is "Dinner Time"
You didn't specify for whom.

What is that snake eating?

This is what happens when you have an energetic guide and a bag of extra thick pudding. . . Snot pudding.

Cold, dehydrated scrambled eggs on a dreary Ensign Lake morning...Mmmm Mmmmm Good.

Cold dehydrated scrambled eggs on a cool misty Ensign Lake morning....Mmmm Mmmm Good. No one else would eat them.

I can understand why! :)

"What is that snake eating?"

It was a fish dinner... I couldn't identify the type of fish.

People really eat those things? I thought dehydrated egg were for rookie boy scouts you know the ones you send for the smoke shifter, sky hook or the dehydrated eggs!

Picked just before breakfast, sooo good. :)

last friday.

ROOKIE!!! just look at that heap of breakfast will ya!!! the boys and girls just fall over themself to load up a plate with my "eggs and everything".. of course when made at home my wife said.."not as good as out on the lake are they?"

pan scramble on Haliday lake in Quetico. Ham,bacon,green pepper,scramble egg and potato.somtimes we put in onion but we didnt on this one.

Venison spaghetti and vanilla pudding in the background on 09-13-07.

Chuck

I call this one Sunset over Scabby Tim's Thai Fish Curry (taken on Daniel's lake last August.)

I highly reccomend the green curry that comes in pouches. Mmmmm.

Minge eating BB pancakes with a wooden spoon out of a cup and still enjoying them!!! ahh forgotten silverware!!

Perent Lake - June, 2004

La Croix 2007 "catch of the day"

Here is Mrs. TB with our Apple Crisp from this past August's Snowbank trip. I am getting hungry just looking at it!

TB

BASSER--

I believe I recognize that campsite on Crooked, it's the one down in that "finger" bay correct? Great campsite!

It was our last night on Lac La Croix, so my brother threw on a little extra birch bark to burn remnants off the grill after dinner. Warrior Hill is just obscured by the flames.

That site used to be our group's favorite site. About 6 years ago we arrived in the spring and it was all torn apart and some fish cleaning benches had been brought over from that island between there and Bottle Portage. It was unuseable in it's condition so we moved on. I'm assuming it is back to normal by now. Great site if you don't mind the boat traffic out front.

Quesedilla night on Lake One -- yummy!

Fresh maple glazed Lake trout. Somewhere in the woods.

The photo viewers are great. Thank you so much for adding that!

Last Saturday, Ensign fish fry!

Cherry Cheesecake...Absolutely To Die For!!!!
My runner up:

Cheddar Quesadillas on a rock, nice and crispy!

Quesadillas on a rock....HMMMMM...thanks for the tip! :)

Do we have a winner yet?

This has to be a tough one for the judges. I found myself looking at the photos in two different ways. My mouth drooled over gc428's combo, SIRT's pan scramble, and paddlegal's cherry cheesecake.

Some other photo's demanded a closer look for other reasons. Among those are pictures by superswamper, CIIcanoe, UncleMoose, Snakecharmer, thecanoeman, Blackstick, and TomT.

I suppose if I had one vote, it would go to TomT.

Thanks for the patience! The winner of the September photo contest is SIRT for his appetizing pan scramble! The extra hat goes to troutbreath.

And the winner of the trip report contest is gc428!

Thanks to everyone for entering!

LOL

Adam and moderators,

Thanks for choosing me for the hat! I would say I would wear it with pride, but Mrs. TB has already claimed it (since it was her good looks that won it!) Quite frankly, in looking at all the good shots that were entered, I am just glad I didn't have to choose.

Thanks again!

TB

Lots of entertaining pics this month. Congrats to the winners.

Also a thank you to Jeriatric for the shout out! :)

Ya know fishguts there is something really comforting in that picture.....46 years later and mealtime looks in the BWCA looks the same!
