Made an infused chocolate cheesecake for Mother’s Day. Put some cannabutter in the crust and infused some heavy whipping cream to use for the ganache on top. I split this between my mom and my boyfriend’s mom, and kept a little slice for myself. Made some whipped cream to top it with. So fucking good.
Hi everyone! I hope this is ok to post here, figured y’all might have some good ideas from experience. It’s a little long, sorry.
I am going to be the camp cook for a geology field camp this summer. The camp is 5 weeks long, and I’d like to try and serve different things as often as possible. I was the TA for it in the past, and even took the same field camp when I was an undergrad years ago, so I’ve got a pretty good idea of the set up and the availability of grocery stores along the way. When we are in New Mexico we’ve got pretty good grocery availability, when we are in Big Bend NP, we do not unless I drive 2+ hours lol.
For the set up we’ve got
\- propane camp stoves, 8 burners total. (No oven)
\- pretty much any cooking gear you can think of, wok, cast iron skillets, Dutch ovens. Can source whatever we need.
\- we camp nearly the whole time so no access to powered kitchen appliances like blenders, crock pots, etc.
\-will make trips to stores every 2-3 days
I will be cooking for 15 people, myself included. As far as I know the only dietary restrictions at the moment are a professor who doesn’t like to eat stuff with lots of preservatives, msg, and stuff like that (example, I made something one time and put cream of chicken in it, she wouldn’t eat it). She is also only the professor for the first 2.5 weeks, the next professor will eat anything so only have those restrictions for the first couple of weeks. And 1/2 of the students don’t/cant eat much heat spice at all.
I’ve got a pretty good list of things to cook, stir fry’s, burgers, pasta, chicken and rice, gumbo when we are way up in the mountains and it’s chilly. I’m just looking for more ideas so that I can have a pretty good menu! I’ve got a decent amount of experience in restaurants and cook a lot at home and cook for most of the field trips since I’ve been a grad student, so if something takes a little more skill I’m not worried.
Thank you for your help!
