Or, more accurately, on an aluminum grill, by a slightly charred and hungry husband as he served up the hamburgers. He suggested that there might be something else, sometime, to feast on in a National Park.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThat was many trips ago, and since then I have been known to serve hamburgers now and then -–I love— And have added to my repertoire Swedish Meatballs and Hawaiian Beef Balls, UN Burgers and Hamburger Cassoulet, along with other meat concoctions, poultry creations, and seafood preparations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe winter of that same year we cautiously took up skiing. That entailed a four hour drive to the mountains and back again each weekend, and we quickly tired of plain dry sandwiches. I began to experiment with transportable concoctions that would also provide more variety and nourishment before and after a weekend's hard skiing period\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCommon to all but a few of the recipes is the idea that exceptionally good meals can be whipped up from a simplified list of cooking ingredients and techniques. a classic dish, such as Boeuf en Daube, classically simmers and bubbles for hours (using up time and fuel supplies), but it can be prepared in half an hour by using a more tender cut of meat. Even “convenience foods” – canned vegetables and prepared mix – can become part of a gourmet meal if they are cooked in season to the proper touch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVINTAGE HARDCOVER - GOOD CONDITION, NO DUSTCOVER\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"thrift","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50260282474689,"sku":null,"price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0776\/5445\/8561\/files\/rn-image_picker_lib_temp_88d0b5f0-fa52-4fa7-85c8-68ce81ebdd68.jpg?v=1779746624","url":"https:\/\/bookladycooks.com\/products\/the-tailgate-cookbook","provider":"Booklady Cooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
