It's not a recipe, but thought I'd bounce an idea of y'all. 

On a fishing forum, one of the guys was asking about foods to cook when he's camping that are other than burgers and dogs.  We joked around a bit, but we wound up coming up with a suggestion that sounded pretty good - shiskebob style jerked chicken and cold beer.  I'm not sure what kind of vegetable to put with it though. 

I have a good jerk sauce recipe somewhere - lime and curry and cayenne and and habenero and garlic and a few other things all mashed up together in a pulp.

Ooooh.  Grilled pineapple should not be wasted on a kabob stick.  Get you a pineapple, skin it, core it, and cut it into slices AT LEAST an inch thick.  Get the grill good and hot.  No, hotter.  Ooops.  You should have made sure the rack was clean first.  It's going to hurt to clean it now.  Just scrape it as best you can with the wire brush thingy.  Lubricate it with a little oil.  There you go, not too much.  Great, now put those thick pineapple rings right on the grill, close the lid and let them sit.  Yep.  Right on there like a burger.  That's it.  Flip them like a burger too, but be sure to put them down where the grill is hottest not right back on the same spot.  You want caramalization.  When you flip them, you may as well put those halved and pitted peaches on right beside them.  Grill those up too. 

Pull them off and you've got a treat.  If you happen to have a bowl handy, put the peaches in it, some rasperry puree, and a big ol' scoop of vanilla ice cream.  I'm not sure which is better, the caramelized pineapple (which goes GREAT with Gewurtztraminer or a muscat dessert wine) or the peach melba sundae. 

Why don't y'all give them both a try and let me know what you like better?

Peppers and 'maters sound good, and maybe some potato and mushroom.  They'd both soak up the jerk sauce flavors nicely if you brush it on the whole kabob.

Steve's spanish rice and pork (chicken) rice dish.

1 package of Near East Spanish rice pilaf.

1 1/2-2 pounds of Pork tenderloin (or chicken) sliced into small pieces.

After the rice pilaf mix begins to boil, add meat and simmer until almost all the excess water boils away.

Tomorrow I will post Steve's MEATY meat loaf recipe.  For people who want MEAT LOAF, instead of meat tasting bread!

I'm cooking some snacks for a church group tonight.

Green onion, garlic, thyme, all sauted in butter.  Mix that into cream cheese.  Add a can of crab meet.  Blend until smooth.

Roll a dollop of that into a Pillsbury Croissant Dough sheet, and bake.

Yum.

I like em cold like that too and then I listen to it sizzle all the way down!

hope you get better soon!!
