A note of caution when combining Wango and shish-kebabs; on the Sept 02 Wango Expedition, WangoBite poked himself in the back of the mouth with the bamboo skewer during the feeding frenzy. It slowed his subsequent consumption of Wango by an estimated 10 minutes (risk of infection was minimized by his blood-Wango levels at the time of injury)

favorite meal- Northern Filets wrapped in Bacon w/Mashed Potatos and Gravy

"...but that's the way I like it, baby, I don't want to live forever"

I use small bambo skewers and grill up the kebabs right on the grate. Another method I have used are "fish baskets" to hold the meat and veggies (not really a kebab, but tastes just as good). I pre-cut, pre-marinate and then freeze the meat in ziplock container or bags.

Kebabs are great, but I'd have to say my favorite meal is marinated, grilled Laker.

Shish-kebabs....now why didn't I think of that years ago?

You can also buy metal shish-kebab skewers which weigh almost nothing and would double as spare tent pegs if you want to avoid trying to find just the right stick and messing around with soaking it.  I would guess the metal skewers weigh only 1/2 ounce each.

Our group likes shishkabobs.  Prawns, Chicken (preferrably marinated), Pork tenderloin for the meats, then Cut these items ahead of time - green peppers, onions, baby red potatos, baby portabella shrooms, we've also done cherry tomatoes and carrots.   Get the biggest wooden skewers you can and soak them in water for an hour before you use them.  The guys love this meal (and I don't have to cook!!!)  I wonder how long that take them to figure out!

Go out to foodnetwork.com and pull up a few of Emeril's recipes.  He frequently gives the recipe for his Essence.  You'll save a few bucks and have fresher spice than the one you buy in the store.

The best pizza I ever had was in the BW/Q. So was the best omelet. There was also an apple based stew that was exceptional. All 3 were prepared by someone else.

Sans fish, I've been told the best meal I ever cooked was Natural High's Mandarin Orange Chicken - Freeze dried. It was after long day of portaging near the end of a trip on which EVERYONE commented "what's this freeze dried 'stuff' for..." at one point or another during the trip. I caught a lot of flack for it.

That particular day we hit the wall and the wind at the same time during a constant rain. Everyone was in their tents as I put up the tarp. Everyone commented it was the best meal they ever had, after I dragged them, one by one... out of their tents.

Even after an excellent baked laker at the followup slideshow two months later, all 5 commented that the freeze dried 'stuff' was still the best meal they ever had. Ambience is very important.

It was the first freeze dried food I ever brought into the park. I've come to appreciate PowerBars since then too.

Just entered my ''Cajun fire fish Burrito'' on the recipe page. Thanks for reminding me. 8)

For all of these recipes not already on the recipes page of this site, get 'em in there!  They sound great!

My favorite meal for canoe camping or backpacking is Chicken and Stuffing . The chicken and stuffing is very easy to prepare. Box of stove top stuffing prepared per package directions, home dried chicken rehydrated or Sweet Sue chicken in foil, and powdered chicken gravy prepared per package directions. Toss chicken into gravy as it heats, pour over top of stuffing. Add a side of mashed potatoes and your eating good. Have your buddies do the dishes.

Try 'chunking' bronzed cajun walleye and/or laker into bite size pieces. Add your Red beans & rice or jambalaya mix and stir it all together. Add onion, fresh or FD, fresh sauteed is best, Spoon it into hot buttered tortillas. Squirt with a little lemon juice, tobasco, salsa, or whatever 'fire' you're packin', Add grated pepper jack cheese. Voila!! A burrito that will make you sing-even if you can't carry a tune in a bucket! 8)
