About that corn on the cob - depends on what mood we're in, how we're cooking it and how messy we want things. :) At home I usually shuck it and wrap it in foil, then put it on the grill. Camping, I just put it on the grill as-is. Soaking it first does make it better, but it's not necessary. The silks come off very easy after it is grilled. And you can use the peeled-back husk as a handle. :)
I LOVE my crockpot both home and RVing. We usually camp with a bunch of other families and it's hard to get dinnertime coordinated. The crockpot cures that problem. Sometimes I make something and put it in the crockpot to hold warm - like chili. Other times the crockpot does the whole job.
My very favorite crockpot meal for camping is to just put in a pork roast with a cup or so of water, cook it all day long, then when it's done pull it apart and dump in a bottle of bbq sauce. Pulled pork sammies with almost no effort at all.
We don't have a grill that we take camping. We use a Coleman camp stove outside on the picnic table, and also a cast-iron griddle/grill that fits on it. Our friends bring a charcoal grill and we share theirs sometimes. But I'd just as soon use the campfire if I had to.
This weekend's menu, which I just planned:
Fri. Dinner -- we're ordering pizza. There's a *really good* pizza place nearby and since we always get there late Fri. evening, we're cheating. :)
Sat. Breakfast -- bacon, egg & cheese croissants
Sat. Lunch -- sandwiches w/lunchmeat or chicken salad
Sat. Dinner -- steak hoagies, cantaloupe, potatoes (foil wrapped cooked in coals . . . or microwaved if need be)
Sun. Breakfast -- pancakes, goetta, leftovers from Sat. breakfast and leftover potatoes made into hash browns
Sun. Lunch -- hot dogs/metts, raw veggies, chips
Sun. Dinner -- tacos & spanish rice
Mon. Breakfast - omelet in a bag w/leftovers
Omelet in a bag is so easy, we're doing it Monday because it's a good meal with no cleanup after and a good way to use up leftovers. You heat up a pot of boiling water, put the eggs and whatever else you want in a ziplock baggie, then boil it in the pot till it's done.
