[Paddlewise] was bread pudding, and other b/s.. Now Recipe's and Cooking

 Alright guys - Bread Pudding and Other B/S Got Me Thinking:
I love to cook and I am not talking about grilling on the Barbecue, which
I too enjoy - like most.    I believe there is nothing more satisfying
(well maybe a quiet cup of good coffee in the morning) than sharing a
great meal and glass of wine under the stars with the folks you just
finished paddling with for the day.  Sustenance for the Body, Mind and
Spirit.   

I end up doing quite a bit of the cooking at home (because I enjoy it)
and am always trying out things that I think could work on the trail and
or take out at the end of the day.   My basic menu has changed from a
package of oriental noodles, some chop sticks and a cup of tea combined
with munching on GORP, Hard Salami / jerky and Cheese with crackers to
something much more palatable and just as easy to carry and fix. 
Something available at the local grocers that I don't have to buy in
expensive freeze dried form at a specialty retailers.

Specialties and Interests: 

  * Asian: Thai,  Chinese, Japanese, Korean and others (Indonesia,
    Singapore, Malay)

  * Southwestern: Mexican and other Latin American Foods

  * Fish:  Any kind - Fresh or frozen

  * Soups:  Livening up freeze dried / instant soups for greater appeal
    and energy.

Would anyone like to share recipe's, ideas, etc. on individual meals when
you are only supporting self and creations for a group of four to ten
paddlers.   I have a number of books on outdoor cooking to include a book
by Linda Daniel; Kayak Cookery.  Kayak Cookery has some excellent recipes
and ideas on selecting, packing, transporting and preparing meals while
on a tour.  I also believe that we collectively could write volumes on
the subject if we gave it any thought at all.

I am not as experienced a paddler as many, if not most, on this list. 
But I can eat with the best of them.   Anyone interested?
Who knows, if someone was to volunteer, Jackie might even let us
consolidate the info and post it on Paddlewise.
