Camptastic Breakfast
I can think of no better way of spending the last long weekend of summer, than at a buddies cabin on Okanagan Lake.
After a full night of mass beer consumption and sleeping in a 1.5 person tent (they say 2 man tent, but they are dirty dirty liars!), there is a certain need for a big full meal deal kind of breakfast. We aren’t much for roughin’ it, so we had our meals planned out in advance and have all the fixin’s at the ready.
EXTREME BREAKFAST CLOSE-UP!!!
We had scrambled eggs with cheese, some toast (with real butter no less!), turkon (that’s turkey bacon to you unknowing breakfast fans out there) and shredded hashbrowns with yet more cheese. We also were munching on honey roasted mixed nuts and plums from our tree at home while we waited for everything to become that masterpiece we called breakfast. We had brought all the things we needed to cook breakfast in our own little self contained slice of the wild (in the back yard of said cabin) so we didn’t need to add to the pure bedlam in the cabins kitchen that happens come breakfast time.
But boiling water for coffee proved too time consuming for our hungover, starving butts and we headed inside to make use of the camping perk. Thankfully they have an old propane run stove we could take advantage of.
Nothing like coffee that could strip paint to dust off our brains from the heavy night of drunkin’ debauchery around the campfire the night previous. The only thing that could make our breaky even better, was the view.
That and the post breakfast bath in the lake. I never knew I could scream so loud under water. Serves me right for not dipping my toe in to check the temperature before jumping head first in abnormally cold lake water.
I blame the beer for the lapse in judgment.
Burrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrp!
