coleman cooler, outdoor sportI love having a Coleman cooler that I can stuff with great food to take camping. We try to go camping at least oncea month in the summer because it's a great outdoor sport, and we can bring along really good food to cook with our Coleman cooler instead of having to eat a lot of canned or processed food. We don't eat that way at home, so we sure don't want to lower our eating standards when we are out having a great time in the mountains. Since I'm the primary cook, I do the hiking in the morning, rest a little in the afternoon, and then later toward dusk, get the big campfire going so I can cook a delicious meal for the family. I learned to cook from a French chef (not THE Julia) when we were backpacking, and the food was simple but so delicious. She taught me a lot about marrying flavors and menu planning to prepare compatible dishes together, so that one would enhance the enjoyment of the other. Since then, we have loved to eat while we're out camping, and our Coleman cooler is the repository of all sorts of potential culinary delights.
