We were camping in warmer climes with friends Friday to Tuesday and made our way home slowly yesterday and today. I wasn’t good about photographing meals, but here’s what we cooked:
Friday - Carolina sausage hash, cole slaw, homemade baked beans, and Nathan’s hot dogs (intended for the kids - they had brioche buns). The sausages completely fell apart upon cooking, so we rescued them by incorporating with some hash brown potatoes. Worked out. My DH was livid about the failed fancy sausages, tho. I poured a restrained California cab I’ve been enjoying recently.
Saturday - bagels and lox for brekkie, lunch on the road, and then for dinner (friends cooked), grilled burgers, bagged crunchy-sweet “Asian” salad, and sweet potato fries. French red. I made Rachel Ray’s (disappointing) skillet fudge cake for dessert, with whipped cream.
Sunday - For breakfast I made fried egg sandwiches on English muffins with cheddar, bacon, and avocado. Served with berries. For dinner I made beef shank street tacos with the works, homemade red rice, and campfire pintos with bacon and bourbon. Friends did campfire banana boats for the kiddos. A refreshing white piquette, Austrian Grüner Veltliner (delicious and aromatic) Hess California cab, and Basil Hayden to drink.
Monday - our friends made scrambled eggs, bacon, bagels, avocado, etc for breakfast. We had a hard time finding an outdoor lunch spot and eventually settled into a couple rounds of $5 margaritas and tacos at 3:00 p.m. Late dinner cooked by friends of grilled lobster tail and low country boil (snow crab legs, potatoes, Bratwurst, corn, and mussels). Italian loaf with butter on the side. I kept judgements about seafood cooking and seasoning to myself. 
Leftover wines and beer. We all turned in early.
Tuesday - friends departed and we were cooking on our own. We traveled halfway home before stopping to set up overnight camp and fry chicken, served with Alfredo mac, leftover cole slaw, and tomato salad. Miller High Life and more Grüner to drink.
Wednesday - Today I made breakfast tacos with colby jack, scrambled eggs, Roots black bean spread, crema, jalapeños, salsa, and cilantro. Lunch was on the road and we had leftover fried chicken and red rice and fresh cole slaw for dinner. I’m nursing the last of the piquette and looking forward to another camping trip soon!

It’s a well-known secret about me that I’ve never gone camping before. But I would absolutely crash your camping party.
And by the way, I used “clime” earlier this morning in my Wordle, before seeing your post. We are sympatico!

I think I would have been as well, especially being used while camping when the expectation is that you’d be eating them whole out of hand/bun.
P.S. You guys seriously kick A$$ in the food department when you camp!

I decided to Google recipes since Bon Appetit’s newish paywall is annoying me. I probably own 40 years of print Bon Appetits, canceled my print subscription around 3 years ago, and don’t/won’t pay for recipes online.
Couldn’t figure out why there were so few Mbahal recipes online. It’s because the dish is more commonly transliterated to M’Bahal or Bahal, and is also known as Nankatang / Nykatan, which has several other English language spellings.

Which?
This happens WAY too often here.

Same here. I have been using Chrome Incognito to get around it.

Last night was a super quick pasta with meat sauce. Nothing special, plus salad.
Tonight I made Cantonese honey-garlic pork chops (I shallow-fried the thinly-sliced brined meat and added sesame to the dredge). I added soy sauce and extra vinegar to the sauce and subbed corn syrup for maltose. Sides were roasted salad turnips and Brussels with kimchi dressing and miso-butter linguini with turnip greens.
The kiddo wasn’t into it and had camping leftovers.

the white?
Gotcha. It’s good! Refreshing and not too funky. I ordered through my local wine shop after reading about piquettes.
There’s a local piquette from Botanist & Barrel that I didn’t care for at all. Sour.
