Nothing as extensive as that, Julie.

Usually if I'm cooking for an outdoor crowd it's in a hunting or fishing camp; maximum maybe 12 people. And it's rare that I'd be both cooking breakfast and getting up lunch at the same time.

Breakfast is usually the usual hearty fare: bacon or sausage, eggs, home fries, and lots and lots of strong coffee. If a camp deer was taken, there might be liver on the breakfast menu. Ditto fresh fish if that was the case.

Often enough, especially in deer camp, we return to camp for lunch, and each hunter fixes his own. It's mostly waterfowling that lunch is taken in the field. For those times it's also fairly prosaic: A hunk of fried chicken, half a sandwich, chips, an apple or pear, and a couple of cookies or a brownie. Usually this is prepared the night before, then packed in paper bags for each hunter.

I save my best culinary shots for the evening meal, which is when I pull out all the stops.
