Hi--

Do you bring a crock pot/slow cooker with you when you camp?

If so, I have a recipe for mashed potatoes that will make your brains fall out (in the good way!!!) Let me know if you want me to post it!

Here it is:

5 pounds red potatoes
3 cubes chicken bouillon
1 Tablespoon minced garlic
8 ounces sour cream
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup butter
salt and pepper

Cut the potatoes into chunks. Put on a large pot of water and bring to a boil. Lightly salt the water. Throw in the potatoes, the garlic and the bouillon cubes. Cook until the potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes, depending on the size chunks. Drain, save the water. In a large bowl mash the potatoes with the sour cream and the cream cheese. adding some of the saved water until it is the consistency you like, keeping in mind you are still going to add the butter later. Transfer it all into your slow cooker, cover, and cook on low for 2-3 hours. Just before serving stir in the butter and salt and paper to taste!!

Enjoy!

I have a 18 qt roaster I can let you use for your turkey if you want it. Also have a 6 qt one. Just let me know and I will bring it, we are smoking a turkey so I won't need them. I think this time we are smoking it at home and bringing the cooked meat, unlike halloween when we brought the smoker and made 2 large turkeys.

I did see some techniques for grilling a Turkey on the internet. Some friends have done it and say it is wonderful.

And how do you grill a turkey on the internet?

How about this. I was dying to try this out this year but it will have to wait now that we are not headed to the fort.
