I love to cook. And I love to hike. So one of my goals was to have really yummy food out on the trail.
I've created a few recipes, and one of them recently was published in Backpacker magazine. Pretty cool.
But even better are the reviews that backpackers themselves have been giving my son's favorite recipe ... here's the latest:
I tested out your recipe that appeared in Backpacker , and after dehydrating it and tasting it at home, I was skeptical. I love hummus, but am not a big spaghetti fan.
The combination of tomatoes and hummus scared me!This past weekend, while in the Red River Gorge, I packed some of your hummus along with my usual chorizo and cheese.
Out on the trail, after a tough day of bushwacking, I tried your recipe......and I couldn't get enough. I ate three tortillas with your hummus and was craving more! The chorizo and cheese went untouched and probably won't be packed in the future, saving me 1/2 lb or more!
I don't know why, but I was craving the flavor of these torillas after my first few bites.Thanks for the recipe!
Jim
What a tremendous compliment! Thanks, Jim!!

All Things Gross
Gross thing #1:
Our family cat, River, was bitten by a venomous snake two weekends ago. He survived the bite, thanks in part to our ability to get onto LSU's campus during the LSU - Auburn game. The game took forever because it was televised, resulting in the roads onto campus being open longer than normal. Since then, he's about about 1/8 of the skin on his body and is currently at the vet for at least a 5-day stay, maybe longer.
We're trying to save his leg, and we're trying to save his life. The wound is huge and open, too big for a successful graft. He's at risk of sepsis and other infections.
Poor kitty.
Gross thing #2:
I forgot to toss my pumpkin today before I head out of town. It should be quite squishy & oozy by the time I get back home Sunday. Ick.
Gross thing #3:
This weekend, my son's 5th grade class is heading to an exhibit in Mobile called Grossology: the Impolite Science of the Human Body. While I'm sure all the 5th grade boys will love it - only one girl is going - well, I've really seen enough gross-ness in the past two weeks to last me a while.
I still haven't figured out how those nurses do all that wound care! Gross!!
