What to pack for a one night cabin stay?

Hey folks!


We're renting a cabin at the Quartz Mountain Resort soon, what do you think I should put in my ice chest? We are both Primal/Paleo, and this is technically a vacation with a huge amount of activity, so I'm not against stretching the boundaries as far as food products go.

And also...

I love my boyfriend, and for the 9 months we've been dating, he cooks for me when I go visit him he cooks for me, and when he comes to visit me, I cook for him.

Lately, in the past two weeks, he's been feeding me leftover pork chops from Buy for Less, and they are literally so disgusting, from the microwave to the horrible texture, that I turn the food away and can't eat it.

Now, previously, he'd cook pork chops from Sam's Club fresh and those are totally OK, delicious actually, but when it's neither cooked fresh or a good cut of meat I have just been going without dinner.

Recently he tried to imitate my pork carnita recipe and it was so disgusting it tasted like dog food.

Anyways, we're planning a romantic get away and the cabin is going to cost about $60 on Groupon, the gas $35 then food.

So I recommended for one of us to buy the cabin, and the other do the gas and food and call it even. He immediately said "Ok, you get the cabin, I'll get the gas and food."

I said OK and we kind of changed the subject. Then I realized that this "food" he's in charge of, may be the most unpalatable thing in the universe, to the extent that I'm either choking it down or unable to eat at all.

That does not sound like my idea of a romantic getaway! Especially seeing as how we're leaving around 6 or 7 a.m., and will arrive in this nature setting around 8 or 9 a.m. and we're going to spend the day hiking and enjoying nature out doors, we'll probably burn 3,000 so a good, big and adequate dinner is almost just mandatory!

I know this man well enough to not be surprised to see him throw his nasty leftover pork chops and a bag of oranges in an ice chest and think he brought dinner.

What should I do? I told him the pork chops were so disgusting that I couldn't stomach it, and gave him my plate the last two weekends, but I haven't told him the carnitas tasted like dog food.

Part of me knows that I am so blessed to have a man that loves me and cares for me, and all that, so I'm not trying to make it into a huge issue. He used to make us hamburgers with a bit of cheese on the stove top, that was perfect. I don't know.

I don't want to hurt his feelings. What do you guys think?

I got this. I just got back from a weekend get away in a cabin in the mountains. Here's what I've learned you'll need:

Absinthe
Unicorn mask
Spare panties...for the guys
Flour, for running of course
Pork wrapped in bacon
Monocle

I had a weird weekend.

Hahaha, you crack me up!

Asa, why not just tell him "Hey, I really love those cheeseburgers! Will you bring some of those?" Guys love it when you tell them something you like and will usually go out of their way to do more of that. But if you don't offer them an alternative, they're gonna do the laziest option, just like we would.

Bwahahaha...

I would like a sexy lingerie...

And I better pack muscle relaxers and lore tabs, I should be in pain several times over from boulder jumping.

That's a great idea! I knew there was a better way to word it.
