Yeah, an interesting one, eh?

1) 9 days on the playa... tent...
2) Coleman propane oven & single burner propane stove...
3) no refrigeration, just one cooler for champagne, beer, sodas & a tiny amount of food...

So, what delicious dishes can be baked with non refrigerated foods?
"But, why bake?" you may ask... the answer = no cleanup, just wad up some aluminum foil (and that's recycled at home) and get back to some serious par-ta-yang! (or is it par-ta-ying?)

sum ideas so far:
>>> stuffed peppers & corn = peppers, can roast beef hash, can tomato sauce, corn-on-the-cob in aluminum foil & (margarine in cooler)
>>> can chili over pouched precooked rice, breadsticks
>>> can chicken & gravy over pouched precooked rice, can peas
>>> small canned ham, can potatoes (mashed), can gravy
>>> soups or Dinty Moore stew & crackers
>>> Chung King chop suey over pouched precooked rice
>>> can ravioli or spaghetti & meatballs, breadsticks
>>> Boboli pizzas = Boboli's, sauce, onions, peppers & (cheese, pepperoni & pre-cooked bacon in cooler)
>>> nachos = chips, salsa, can refried beans, can jalepenos & (cheese & plastic tub pre-made taco beef in cooler)
>>> (hot dogs in cooler) on baked beans casserole, can brown bread
>>> baked potatoes with can chili & (cheese in cooler)
>>> sliced potatoes, carrots, parsnips, onions in aluminum foil & (margarine in cooler)

extras >>> can veggies, can cranberry sauce, hot water things, cup-o-noodles, mac & cheese, hot & sour soup mix

BTW, how does store bread with preservatives hold up... how many days will it last with no refrigeration on the playa?
with bread, that opens up:
>>> peanut butter & (jam in cooler) sandwiches
>>> pouch tunafish & (mayo & cheese in cooler) sandwiches
>>> toasted (cheese & pre-cooked bacon & margarine in cooler) sandwiches

then sweet & snack things:
>>> can fruits
>>> cookies, individual pies
>>> dried fruits, raisins
>>> nuts
>>> plastic portioned pudding
>>> jerky
>>> ready to bake (cookies & cinnibuns in cooler)

OK, ok... yeah, yeah.... some of these are tasty, some are kinda so, so...
but... this is a BRAINSTORMING session....

Any ideas on simple to make, no clean up meals?

thanks...

BTW, have I told you lately how great you are?
