We recently took a little trip to the Oregon coast and camped for a few days so I thought it would be fun to serve a few standard "camping fare" items at the next TK.
Silly? Probably.
Fun! Yes.
There was an oyster farm about ten minutes from our campsite, so of course, we had oysters. Two nights actually.

Tk dinner started with fresh oysters from Sunh Fish Market.
We had some raw, and then some with a sweet and spicy sauce.
Add lemon and fresh parsley.
Delicious.
Next up were the arancini with an lemon, asiago and pepper dip.
I then let everyone rest for a minute and we served a grilled pluot salad. The pluots were all over the farmers market this past weekend so I figured I should take advantage of them while I could - they are usually gone pretty quickly.
Here are the grilled pluots.
Here is the salad.
Thank you to elizabeth d. photography for this fantastic shot!
Entree this evening were mussels done with white wine and garlic (the usual) and served with slices of a spiced walnut bread.
There was also this lemon cinnamon butter to go with the bread.
Finally it was time for dessert.
We had been camping so of course s'mores had to make an appearance!
The s'mores above are homemade marshmallows rolled in graham cracker dust then drizzled with an orange, chocolate ganache.
Holy Hell.
I also made jello.
Or, you could call it a fresh peach and raspberry gelee.
I called it jello.
And that was IT. Whew!
By the way, I did do TK dinners in April and May.
April was all Korean food. May was a spin on some classic Cuban dishes. As soon as I locate the photos I will share those dinners.
Until next month...see you all soon!
