A sticky BBQ sauce works with both chicken or pork so I don't see why it wouldn't be nice.
A classic cassoulet would also work with that combination. Substitute the chicken for the duck.

Parsnips: peel before roasting or no?

Parsnips: peel before roasting or no?

Yep. Trim off the ends as well, just like an onion.

Parsnips: peel before roasting or no?

More nutritious if skin left on.

So the chicken/ribs experiment was a success. I left the chicken in a bit too long, but with sauce, it was delicious.

The ribs were for dinner on Friday, camp site set up day. Nerd left the tent poles at home, so we had to go to Walmart (ewwwwwwww,) to get a new tent, so the ribs didn't even get put on the fire to get warmed up until after 10:00. By then we were so tired and hungry, they probably would have tasted good no matter what.

We had leftovers, and confirmed on Saturday that they were delicious and very moist/juicy, falling of the bone, style.

It was just a little chicken stock with a bit of white wine and bbq sauce, and some spices. I often just grab spices to see what works, so it was salt, lemon pepper, oregano, basil, cumin, garlic and probably a couple I'm forgetting.

Worked really well.

Nerd left the tent poles at home,

That's a major omission. Worst I did was leave the plates behind (actually it was someone else) and had to buy disposables for the week.

How the fuck do you not inventory check the camping gear before you set out?

Okay guys, ready to set out on our three-day trek through the wilderness??

12 hours later..

I guess I forgot to pack the water filter. Sorry, dawg.

How the fuck do you not inventory check the camping gear before you set out?

That's a fantastic question.

I was definitely, visibly and decidedly unhappy. Who wants to be at Walmart buying a second tent when the other 12 people are drinking beer, watching the fire? Fuck....

Side note - everything I was in charge of made the trip, but I would much rather have forgotten the mustard, given the choice.

Nerd has been forgiven.

Nerd has been forgiven.

After the meting out of appropriate punishment, I'm sure.

Now the claim is that since I forgot socks, it's the same. Note for the record that the night before, I said, "we are really low on socks and need to stop on our way."

Yes, not only the same as forgetting, but also equivalent to forgetting the tent poles.
