With camp ovens you put hot coals on the lid to bake or braise the contents. If you don't take educated care you might easily push the temperature over the edge, soften the metal and warp the thing or bend it when it is dropped while hot. It may also have been inadvertantly set aside in or near the fire in an unporotected spot. Since Two Tales had loaned it out he may never know the true story. Two Tales, do you know the rest of the story? ;D
"Hey Paws, Happy now? ;D ;D ;D
Ylou betcha Two Tales!! ;D ;D

So...Now that we have some mass recipes going, help me out on something else. Just what constitutes a serving?
The reason I ask is because of all the cooking I've done in the past 24 hours for three teen-agers and two middle-age fuddie duddies. It just seems like an awful lot of food!
Here goes: 7 doz. homemade jelly donuts, 3 doz. fried eggs, 4 lb venison sausage, 3 gallons johnny marzetti, 8 gal. iced tea, 3 gal milk (part was used for cocoa), 6 qt. frozen peaches, 3 lb cheese, 1 jar peanut butter, 3 loaves bread, 2 lbs carrot sticks PLUS all the stuff they conjured up themselves because there were...er...uh...hungry.
By the way, there were no leftovers!
I always said that if you leave my table hungry it's your own dang fault. But this is getting a little ridiculous!

Now somebody must have left hungry, or there would have been left overs. ;D Jeesh, you guys eat more in a day than we do in a month! Lets see 7x 12= 84/5 = 17 (rounded) donuts = 1 serving, 36/5 = 7 eggs = 1 serving, 4 lb/5 =.8 lb = 1 serving, 5 peanut butter sandwiches = one serving, 1.6 gallons iced tea -= 1 serving, .6 gallons of milk = 1 serving, and so on.

I used to think it was dangerous to be near the boys when they ate. Now I see that is just not so. I think what we're talking here is weather or not it moves. ;D

My Dad always said if feeding teen aged boys make everything multiplied times 2 and 1/2 and you'll almost have enough...Brian, let's hope that if it does move it doesn't look wounded or helpless ;D ;D ;D
As far as the lid goes..it was not too nice of a weekend and they may have set it down in some water or in the snow...I actually warped one once doing this..broke another on by placing it on a cold rock (it was -5*F out and I had a brain fart)..split into like you cut it with a saw...never warped a pot though...that would take some heat

Shoot boys ain't nothing! Try feeding teenage girls when the boys aren't around. You'll be lucky if you get the plates back.

I'm with you Paws! Plates? I got up this morning and it looked like the three bears sitting in the living room. Youngest boy had cereal in my 4qt Pyrex bowl, older boy had French toast in the 2 qt bowl, and daughter was eating grits out of the 1 qt. All had made themselves coffee or cocoa which they drank out of quart mason jars.
I'm going to dig out one of my old homemaking books. There's a chapter, complete with test, on the proper technique for dish washing. Going by the appearance of my counters, I think they need to study it.

I used to try and use plates with the boys but, it was just plain safer to just step back from the pot and say "It's ready". Especially with crawfish or anyfish for that matter. They'll both eat fried fish or cjhicken as fast as you can get it out of the pan. Remember whne Mc Donald's had a burger special going 5 for a buck or something like that. We were fishing from the bank on night and I gave the boys $30 bucks for burgers, frys and drinks. They spent it all on 3 large frys, 3 large cokes and the rest was burgers. I got to eat 2. When I looked for a third they had already finished eating the others.

Used to be a Bordon Burger in town when my oldest boy worked at Pizza Hut...gave him a ride to work one day and he asked if we could stop at the BB...so we did. Got him 2 triple cheese and bacon burgers two orders of fries and a 48oz soft drink...BB was only 3 blocks from were he worked..when we pulled into the lot and parked I asked him for a french fry or bite of his sandwich..they were all gone..everything but the ice in the bottom of the cup...I think he might have even eaten the wrapper from one of the burgers...when I picked him up from work 4 1/2 hours later, he had a large pizza that was either ordered wrong or no one picked it up...by the time I got him home half of that was gone...I did get a couple of slices from that...much rather by him clothing than feed him ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

The three females in my house use plates. If I took the time to get one the food would be gone so it's eat out of the pan for me or nothing. I usualy get the "you can eat out of the machines at work" response. That might "seem" OK but they know I don't eat at work. Never have been able to.

The 2 boys at my house are determined to eat me out of house and home. The oldest is just 7 but he eats a 12" Subway sub that has 4 different kinds of meat on it, plus some chips and a drink. He eats more than his old man!! Personally I think he is just trying to show out, but if he's healthy and has a full belly, who am I to complain. Anyone know of a part-time job I might get to finance his food?? ;D

My youngest could put away an extra large pizza and a 2 liter of soda in one sitting at about the same age your boy is now. Sounds like you have a healthy strapping lad. Do what we did. Farm him out to the neighbors and you sit back and ask him for money!!

"Used to be a Bordon Burger in town when my oldest boy worked..." Was Borden Burger the same as BBF? We had BBF when I was a kid in Columbus. BBF's, White Castle and Burger Chef & Jeff's TT - I wish I had your "problem". I can't lose a pound no matter how little I eat or how much I exercise! A few years ago, I got on some calorie counting, no fat, no sugar, no carbs diet. Caloric intake dropped to 750 - 920 a day. Didn't loose a pound. For a while, I felt great. Kind of like an adrenaline rush. Then I started to slow down and ached all over. Did this "diet" for about two years. Started at 285# and ended at 285#. Only thing I probably accomplished was slowing my metabolism even more! During the summer when I'm tending the garden, I might lose 10# during July. But then I'm right back to where I was in the beginning. I'm waiting for my fancy digital bathroom scale to display the message, "Quit asking" I guess some of us are designed to be thoroughbreds, while others are meant to be Clydesdale's. Y'know, I even got a life insurance policy on this premise. To start with I was denied because my weight/height/age proportion was way off the charts. I told my agent if he saw me walking down the street weighing the 137# that the chart said I should weigh he'd probably know I was sick and dying. He couldn't argue with that. He told his field rep and the next day, I had a signed policy.

When I sent Chris off to the Air Force Academy they would feed him good but had to send him home on holidays and in the summer so They could restock. No kidding, them boys will come by for a visit and clean out the fridge. It was normal to go through a gallon of milk a day and a loaf of bread. That was just snacks. Meals were another thing all together. Never stopped them from eating good food, had to hold them back on the junk sometimes. Now when Kathy makes a meal, there seems to always be left overs....at least until Matt comes by ;D ;D

Faith,
Actually BB was a sub div of the Bordin Dairy... I remember the Burger Chef and Jeff stores along with WCs..Dad used to stop there on the way home from our annual outing to the Columbus Zoo..would buy about 5 or 6 bags of burgers...The other big burger place in Columbus was LUMs..them was some good burgers...probably as good if not better than Victoria Station..lot less expensive also ;D ;D ;D then if you went to Urbana there was Grables..deep fried EVERYTHING..burgers, taters. hotdogs etc...

Faith, how many crew is the cook feeding on the tug boat? I was wondering about that and how the cook's shifts work. Do they have two cooks or a helper?
Here is a mass serve recipe that is very inexpensive I thought you might like. It is so easy that even the little kids can do it and it is terrific.
SUPER BOWL ALA PAWS
1 huge bowl with lid (prefer a Tupperware (RT) 8 quart bowl
1 12 oz bag of Clancy's (RT) Crispy Corn Chips
1 15 oz bag of Clancy's (RT) Party Mix (Traditional Flavor)
1 16 oz jar of Southern Grove (RT) Dry Roasted Peanuts
(RT) - Registered Trademark
Combine all of the ingredients well and serve. If you enjoy the traditional Chex Mix you will absolutely love this because there is no baking, no messy butter or sauces to add and the flavor combination is phenominal. At the time of publishing this recipe served 14 at a total cost of $4.99 or about thirty seven cents per guest.

Kids would go NUTS over that recipe! Especially since I don't have more than 3 or 4 bags of snack stuff in the house each year. Boat crew is 9 guys. There's one cook and meals are at "usual" times we'd eat here on land. With having men work two 6-hour shifts each day, it works out pretty well. You're either waking up or going to sleep at meal time. Is it any wonder though that the whole crew is pretty tubby! ;D Mike called yesterday and they were stopping at port to pick up a treadmill, weight bench, and exercise bike. I told him to just keep rubbing it in. Air conditioning, satellite TV, free laundry, gym equipment, lobster and steak dinners.........I'll get even somehow!
