Grilled Rainbow Trout
Servings: 3
Prep Time: 25 minutes
Total Time: 25 minutes
Ingredients:
•6 fresh rainbow trout
•6 or more slices bacon
•1 or 2 large onions, chopped
•lemon pepper seasoning
•1 lemon, quartered
Preparation:
Clean the fish by gutting it and cutting off its head. Wash very well. Pat dry with paper towels. For each fish: Sprinkle insides with seasoning and stuff with onion. Then spray outside of fish with Pam, sprinkle outside of skin with seasonings, and wrap each fish with 1-2 bacon slices, depending on size of fish. Place each fish on a piece of foil that has been sprayed with Pam. Wrap well and place on hot grill for 10-15 minutes or longer, depending on size of fish. You can also place in the coals of fire, but it may cook quicker. When done, open carefully and enjoy.
Accompaniment: Drunk Risotto
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 45 minutes
Total Time: 50 minutes
Ingredients:
•1 cup Arborio rice
•1 small onion, finely diced
•1 carrot, finely diced
•1 stalk celery, finely diced
•1/2 teaspoon thyme
•2 15-ounce cans chicken stock
•1/2 cup mushrooms, chopped
•3 tablespoons olive oil
•Parmesan cheese
•salt and pepper, to taste
Preparation:
Get out the 2-burner stove. On one burner, put the chicken stock in a pan and bring to a low simmer. This will be later added to the rice. It’s best when heated so that it doesn’t shock the rice. If stock isn’t available use beer. On the other burner, bring a large skillet to medium heat. Add the olive oil and diced vegetables. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are translucent. Now add the rice and thyme to the skillet and stir frequently for a few minutes. Now begins the cycle of adding liquid a ladle at a time, stirring until the liquid is mostly absorbed, adding more liquid, stirring again, and repeating this for about 20-30 minutes. At this point add the mushrooms. Stir, add more liquid, stir some more until ready to serve. You can tell when it is ready to serve, because the rice will have cooked to a creamy smooth texture. If it gets too dry, add more liquid and stir a bit more. Many risotto recipes add Parmesan to the rice while cooking. Or allow each person to add their own salt, pepper and Parmesan to taste.

Dessert: Fire Pit Sundaze
Ingredients:
Foil
Banana
Marsh mallows
Chocolate bar
Cooking instructions:
Slice the banana the long way crack open but leave the skin on. Place on a decent size piece of foil. Fill with chocolate and marsh mallows. Roll the foil around the banana and then roll the ends closed so that there is some space above the banana. Place in the coals of the fire and let it melt down 10-15 mins . Spoon out…. YUMMY!
Variations/Hints:
Others have been known to put things like vanilla ice cream, peanut butter, graham crackers and jelly in the banana.

Enjoy your meal with this refreshing salad – Rainbow Coleslaw!
Serves: 4 persons
Ingredients:
4 cups shredded cabbage
1 medium red pepper
1 medium yellow pepper
1 medium green pepper
1 mango
1 Tbsp. olive oil
juice of ½ lemon – can use reconstituted lemon juice
salt
dash of cumin
dash of cayenne
Directions:
Slice your cabbage into fine shreds – not a thick cut. Thinly slice the 3 different colored peppers. Peel and cube a fresh mango or use defrosted frozen chunks but then you need to cut them into smaller cubes. Throw all of the veggies and mango in a large salad bowl.
Dress with 1 olive oil, lemon juice, salt, a sprinkle of cumin, and a sprinkle of cayenne. Drizzle the olive oil all over the veggies and do same with lemon juice and then sprinkle on the seasonings to taste. Do not mix the dressing in a separate bowl. You are only using 1 Tbsp. of olive oil and you need every drop for the salad to taste good – so dress it right there in the bowl.

Picnic at Brandywine Falls
Take a picnic lunch to nearby Brandywine Falls Provincial Park, just 1 km southwest of Whistler RV Park and Campgrounds. Enjoy marvellous views of the falls and Daisy Lake. The word brandy is actually the shortened word for brandywine. No one is completely sure about how the falls got their name, but one possible explanation is that two surveyors (Jack Nelson and Bob Mollison) for the Howe Sound and Northern Railway made a wager for a bottle of brandy about who could estimate more accurately the height of the falls.
