    I hope you are being sarcastic because I would be able to easily have one of these and not feel bad about it. This is not a WEIGHT LOSS website. There are also people on here who want to GAIN weight or MAINTAIN weight.

    Also, this is listed in the "Chit Chat/Fun and Games" forum, not the Motivation or Weight Loss Recipes area.

    I'm excited to hear what you decide, Mikki. when is this camping trip again?

    I am in to see how badly you kick her a**.

    I think you making incredibly awesome cupcakes over a campfire would be a bit of irony for her. Besides, I love pork but I'm not a fan of entire pig roasts-it never tastes as good to me.

    What a witch-report back!

    So how long are you in camp for....roasting a full pig is no short time framed meal.

    Sounds like she is all talk.

    Unless of course she won't be floating all day with you folks and just working the spit!

    We'll be floating from like 8 a.m. to 3/4 ish p.m... How long does it take to roast a pig? Isn't that a fairly elaborate system? Is she preroasting maybe? I would ask her myself, but I don't want her to catch on the culinary a** kicking coming her way.

    You could burn Jiffy Pop and still defeat anyone stupid enough to believe that Mexican cuisine is "knocked off" from Spanish cooking.

    Considering that CORN is the staple of Mexican cuisine, and was domesticated in Mexico's Tehuacan Valley, but most importantly was brought to Spain from the Americas in the late 15th century (yet Spaniards had already been eating food for centuries, just not corn...) Well, that kind of blows the all-powerful, know-nothing reject's statements from Food Network out of the water.

    Honestly, she's going to get some votes simply because she's been on television. She could serve baked donkey junk with a side of armpit squeezings and some of the audience would marvel at her Barnyard/Saudi fusion... It will still suck.

    I suggest you take her "failed" recipe from the tv show and do it up right. Point out that this time, it's not too sweet! Also, infuse liquor.

    Oh, my God. Why did I not think of that? I can use her weakness against her in the ultimate crushing win. YES. Thank you, so much for this.

    Is it strictly about weight loss, or is it about lifestyle changes? Because a lifestyle change, to me, includes letting oneself indulge every now and again, within reason. One dessert isn't going to kill anyone.

    Canadians.

    Please don't use Escloflowne as a basis for all Canadians - even we find him ridiculous!

    LOL I secretly love my Canadian friends. Just don't tell E... I don't want him to think I actually care.

    Do a pineapple upside down cake in a skillet :-) plenty of room there to make it a signature dish at a campfire

    (*note: have not read all of the thread yet, just putting in my two cents of an idea)

    And yes roasting a whole pig is an all day affair (if your doing it right)

    Pre-roasting and then having it sit all the way on an 8 hr float means it will have to be re-heated some how which can make it dry out some. Also it will not have that nice campfire flaovor anything done on site will have.

    OOOOh I haven't thought of that. I might just make ten desserts. She'll have no idea what to do.

    If she is roasting an entire pig then there is no amazing recipe involved. Just salt and a lot of time keeping the coals hot and rotating the pig. She's going to transport an entire pig and spit and pounds of charcoal to this place? How large of a pig? It takes an hour and 15 minutes per 10 pounds of pig. So, a 50 pound pig will take 6 hours 15 minutes. A 60 pound pig would take 7 and a half hours.

    So, unless she is doing this the day before and just bringing the pulled pork, then she will be sitting in camp all day, then being a martyr while everyone raves about wonderful pork that is wonderful because of the pig, not because of anything special she had to do.

    I wouldn't worry about outdoing her. Just make something that you know you can make well and will be yummy.

    Chocolate peanut butter mousse pie. This is the bomb.

    (Do not try this with low fat versions, it won't get the proper texture.)

    Barbara's Famous Chocolate Peanut Butter Mousse Pie

    Heavy Whipping Cream, 3 half pint containers
    Kraft Philadephia - Plain Cream Cheese, 2 container
    Creamy Peanut Butter , 16 oz.
    White Sugar - 3/4 Cup to 1 Cup by taste
    Ready Made Chocolate Pie Crust, 2 piecrusts
    Chocolate Covered Peanuts, double handful, crushed

    1. In mixing bowl, beat cream cheese and peanut butter until creamy. While slowly beating, add sugar.
    2. In separate chilled mixing bowl, beat cream until stiff peaks form.
    3. Fold the two mixtures together until well blended, pour into pie crusts, sprinkle top with crushed chocolate covered peanuts, chill or freeze. Transport in cooler. Can be sliced frozen or served chilled from fridge. Makes two pies heaped high.

    This recipe makes a great peanut butter mousse minus the chocolate peanuts and pie crust.

    I wish I were a good enough cook to help! The best I could suggest is maybe trying to find something that has a surprise in it.. like it looks plain but literally explodes with delicious good type stuff from the inside. OR maybe cupcakes with a picture of each persons face on top? Can you make yours more personalized to each attendee?

    BUT I do think roasting a whole pig will look excessive and probably not that attractive to most of the other people if they're not used to seeing it. So her meal might be memorable but that doesn't mean everyone will like it.

    Personally, I dislike the smell of ham. Put that together with the look of a pig slowly shriveling and hissing over a fire and you probably get puke out of me!

    I used to go on all day trail rides where there would be a roast pig. You could always tell the city people from the country people because the country people were waxing ecstatic about the smell of the pig roasting and the divine looking crackling, and the city people, most of whom never think about where meat comes from, were "Eewwww, it's got eyes! And a nose, and hooves! Yuck!" We riders who knew our meat just laughed at them. Few things taste better than slow roasted whole roast pig, there is no dessert that can top that, so don't worry about "competing" and just enjoy.

    As I do know a roast pig can be delicious, nothing will taste better than her defeat.

    Its camping. Make campfire cones in the firepit, simple and delicious. Sometimes simple is best!

    One sugar cone, spread a little PB inside and fill with chopped banana, choco chips, mini marshmallows, and nuts. Wrap in foil and throw in the hot coal for 10-12 minutes. Unwrap and enjoy its ooey gooey goodness.

    OH could you do a fondue with your dessert?

    Or you could also include chocolate covered cherries. But make hers a radish.

    Your dinner sounds delicious! Her dinner sounds...eck. So, even if I were the type of person who would want a pig roast, she may not do a good job of roasting it. It may taste nasty, you never know. Your cupcakes sound amazing, and in the creative category, will beat her pig roast. Seriously, she is a chef, and the best she can come up with is a pig roast? Your cupcakes take thought and skill (baking is not easy) Her thing has been done a million times.

    If it were my camping trip, I would have voted to have you do dinner and cupcakes!
