SOMEONE SHOWS UP AT MY CAMPSITE just in time for my muffins on Dutch oven
A subscriber sent me this little jacket. I think I like it. Do you kitty? It's gonna
keep you warm. I'm surprised that's a good fit. I like it. It's just tight underneath
the belly. I think she's gonna like it too. Do you like your new jacket? You look good.
This is a little campsite, a little place, campfire. I think we have a river. We have
a little creek right beside us. I decided to come today to have a little campfire because
next week it's supposed to get pretty cold. So I'm probably not gonna do any backcountry
campfire. Who knows? Might snow. So I just decided I'm gonna come enjoy the backcountry
a little bit before it gets too cold. I think it's gonna be colder tonight but the snow
is not that far from here. My boyfriend got me this thing I think a couple months ago
and I didn't even try it. Let me show you. I don't know if I can make that happen. So
I need to find three branches that will go inside those holes here, go in triangle and
I can hook. So somehow, I'm gonna have to try to figure that out. The chain will go
in the middle here. Tie it up and I can change the length and that could bring my Dutch oven
hard at the fire itself. We'll try. A lot of times you can see some, you can find some
metal ones so I'm gonna try to find some piece of wood today and kind of play with it and
see if that will work. If not, if it's just getting too complicated, I'm probably gonna
go at a hardware store and find some piece of wood already made or piece of metal would
be even better, red metal. And yeah, so tiny little thing. We'll see. I'm gonna let you
know if that works. But it's been several months that I have it and I didn't try it
yet so I think it's gonna be today. So I don't know if I need to put more than that. We'll
try. I think this one was a good one too. Oh, it worked. I'm surprised. When he showed
me this, I was like, oh, I'm not sure or easy or, but yeah, it's perfect. That took like
maybe 10 minutes to grab the woods and make it. It's awesome. I love it. I need to put
the chain a little bit harder, I think, for my campfire. Look at that, guys. How cool
it is. That's awesome. So it's called Corvin, something around this. So today on a Dutch
oven, we are making a lemon poppy seed muffin. You probably wonder, oh, that I'm gonna make
my fat in the Dutch oven. About a while ago, those little tart pan, if you want to get
forget it. And I think I'm going to put them those little muffin inside that and put them
in a Dutch oven. So I might be able to cook four at a time. Yeah, we'll see. I had no
idea. I was like, someone mentioned that I should make muffin on a Dutch oven. Nothing
for you, kitty. And I was like, how am I going to make muffin? I don't have a cast iron muffin
pan, but I think that's going to work, hopefully. So we're going to make the recipe. I love
lemon ones, so it should be good. I'm full of sap, though, from all the chopping wood.
All right, clean that. All right, I need one cup of, they always say soy milk, but I don't
have any soy milk. I only have oatmeal, which will be okay. It's just soy milk is a little
bit more thick. And I always use those little cup ones. You don't need to refrigerate them.
If they are open, you need it. But we need one cup, which is just the can. And I need
one teaspoon of soy vinegar. Mix that and let that sit for a while. And I need a zest.
Let's see if I can mix zest with this thing. All right, not the best little tool to mix
zest, but it kind of works. And I think after that, we mix the dry and the wet together.
Oh, the batter tastes so good. Oh yeah, wow. Okay, all done. I'm going to make that with
this one, I guess. So I don't know how many muffins I was supposed to make. I didn't look
at the recipe. I screenshot the recipe and I didn't screenshot the actual amount. Usually
I make eight, but it seems to be maybe more than that. All right, we have eight muffins.
I'm excited for that, guys. Loco's coming as soon as I start making food.
As soon as I start. All right, those ones look good. Oh, maybe a little bit too hot.
We need to let them cool down. Chrome just told me how to manage this thing. So there's a little
pan that just goes on top like this and you clip it there and it stays at that height. And then
if you need to make it hotter, you can pull the pan dropper down and you need to make it cooler.
You can adjust the temperature as you need. Silly things you find on Amazon. Yeah, that's perfect.
So I think some are maybe a little bit too cook. So the other one, we raised them a little bit
higher, but I do have a glaze that I can make on top. So yeah, the bottom burner was too hot
in the bottom. It's okay. We can still eat the top and the other ones I just make them
higher. So I'm just going to pour this on top. Probably should wait to cool them down.
I'm not patient. I'm not patient.
They literally show up here two minutes before they're ready. I knew it.
Something in me says I know where to go. Oh, those are good.
I really like that. I can keep a fire pretty warm and just grab the ash and
you just like the chart, sorry, and put them on top and keep rotate. So it's easier.
They look cute too. They look cute. Those ones look better.
That's a leftover of the glaze. So those ones didn't burn. They look better.
Those are perfect.
My van smell like a lemon pie or something. It smells good. So I was a success guy.
And that's gross to say, but we ate them all.
Yes, we ate four of each and that was pretty much our dinner to be quite honest. It was so good.
I thought I would like, I would put some away and keep some for the day after.
No, this is why I cannot make dessert. I always, always want to eat the whole thing.
Good thing I only make dessert when I go in the backcountry.
So I hope you guys enjoy a little campfire in the backcountry. That was great.
Well, it's not the most beautiful place. You had a bunch of garbage. I must admit,
we're not super far from the town. I went further down the road and people was,
is the weekend, people were camping. So I went back to this first spot here. So,
but still pretty good beside the river. It was great. A good time. So hope you guys enjoy.
And I'm going to let you with Miss Kitty. All right, guys. See you in the next one.
I have sugar everywhere. All right, baby. You want to give them a kiss?
Want to give them another kiss? Kitty, it's kissing time. Like, no mom, it's bedtime. It's late.
Kitty. Seriously, baby. It's kissing time. There you go. We took you a little bit of time.
But we got it. Oh, you're so good. Thank you so much.
All right. Time to clean everything now. No more kiss. Thank you.
