It’s true!  Your favorite handheld gaming system and social media application combined in DSTwitter (available for download!).  Despite what the image shows, it is in English and you’re not obligated to have a chihuahua as an avatar.  Glee!

I haven’t tried it out yet since I don’t have my USB SD reader, but soon.  Thanks to my brothar for finding this, and @jonnay for downloading for me.

I thought I was in for a very rugged experience when I heard that our campsite wouldn’t have flush toilets and showers (yes, I was spoiled in the past), but it turned out to be very luxurious, especially in the food department.

Flavor and All His Friends

Friday’s dinner:

  • BBQ chicken
  • tomato/pepper/basil salad
  • (there was more food that I missed out on since I was setting up the tent)
  • wine and s’mores

Saturday’s breakfast:

  • Coffee pressed from hand-ground Dominican Republic beans
  • Eggs
  • Thick-sliced bacon, grilled on the fire
  • Whole-grain buttered toast

Saturday’s lunch:

  • More BBQ chicken and chicken wings
  • Roasted cherry tomatoes with garlic and fresh basil
  • Tinfoil mushrooms with red onions
  • Pickled asparagus, carrots, stuffed olives
  • Fresh pineapple

Saturday’s dinner:

  • Ribs smoked for 12 hours (Heavenly! The star of the entire trip.)
  • Tinfoil carrots and potatoes
  • Sweet potatoes
  • Beans made with whiskey-deglazed caramelized onions
  • Poached pears and peaches served with vanilla bean ice cream
  • Three lovingly-created s’mores for dessert

Sunday’s breakfast:

  • Hashbrowns with leftover sweet potatoes, sauteed onions and two-year old cheddar
  • Maple sausages
  • Eggs
  • Hand-ground coffee

Sunday’s lunch:

  • Homemade burgers stuffed with sundried tomatoes, cilantro, cheese, garlic, onion, and Kim’s other secret ingredients on a multigrain bun with dijon, banana peppers, lettuce and tomato
  • Ice cream from the nearby hamlet

Sunday’s dinner:

  • Grilled deer steaks
  • Apple chicken Spolumbo sausages with dijon and sauerkraut
  • Roasted vegetables
  • Filipino Tanduay rum and coke, lime wedges

Monday’s breakfast:

  • More hand-ground pressed coffee
  • Multigrain toast smeared with loads of melty brie (one of my pieces had black cherry jam to punctuate with sweetness)
  • Sausages from the night before
  • Eggs
  • Hashbrowns made with the same burger mix from Sunday’s lunch

My mouth started to water when recalling the culinary delights we enjoyed during this trip. I don’t know if this is a diet-concious food diary entry, or if this is something I should be confessing to a priest in a box.
