Cooler (near/by) the Lake VIII food thread

Mmm! I was hoping for another dessert! If for some reason the breakfast cornbread attempt doesn't work, no worries--there will be puhlenty (!!) of food!

Note to those adding in now: Since Verna is not able to come she is not able to bring orange juice. It would be nice if somebody would bring that.

I can bring the OJ. Should I buy two containers?

[tearhead]

Hm. I think I had suggested a gallon to Verna. It's hard to judge! There's a different kind of juice coming, too.

(before I forget, my husband is requesting the Reuben recipe--can't remember who brought that)

Wild Rice Casserole
3 6-oz. boxes Uncle Ben’s Original Long Grain and Wild Rice
24 oz. sour cream (you could try it with less)
1 ½ stick butter, softened
2 cans sliced water chestnuts (I cut them in smaller pieces)
3 c. shredded cheese (cheddar or Colby/jack)
¼ c. sliced or slivered almonds, toasted
1/3 c. sliced pimiento olives (optional, but it looks nicer with these)
Prepare rice according to package directions (I omit the butter/oil there). Mix in sour cream, butter, water chestnuts, and cheese. Bake in 13 by 9” pan (it will fit and won’t bubble over, I promise) for 25 min. Add almonds and bake for 10 more minutes.
Or, bake in dutch oven (I used a 12”) with 1 ring of coals under and 1 ½ on top, turning the top clockwise every 10 min, and the bottom counterclockwise.

Thanks Pat . We will truly Enjoy this.
Till Next time,

As long as everyone is asking. We had some taco shells and there was some toppings to put on. What was the salsa topping?

Bob it was "Jacks Special Salsa" found in the cooler in the veggie section of the Pick N Save in Sheboygan. It's my go-to salsa for the masses.

[pigcooker]

Pat, Dennis &/or Cheryl made the Rubin Casserole.
That sure went fast, I only got a small spoon of it, I'd like the
recipe too!
