Strange circumstances provide me with inspiration :-) Our Scout Troop is
going camping this weekend and it is my turn to provide the Saturday evening
meal for the "Old Goat" Patrol. Considering the temp's are going to be in
the 30-40F range each day and the teens at night with snow showers on Sat,
I've decided to take my BABP and do a Low Country Shrimp Boil with just
enough spicy heat to keep us warm through the night! I'll probably do a corn
pone in one Dutch oven and a big blueberry cobbler in the other.
