Camping doesn’t have to mean settling for prepackaged snacks, dehydrated meals, and boring hot dogs. In fact, cooking during your camping trip can be fun, easy, and incredibly tasty. One of the simplest ways to prepare camp meals is with a Dutch oven and charcoal. Like crockpots, Dutch oven meals require very little work and dirty few dishes. Best of all, you can add an endless variety of food to your camp menu! Charcoal and Dutch Ovens The Perfect Camp-Cooking Pair

Cooking with a Dutch oven is as simple as combining your ingredients, heating your briquettes, and placing them beneath and on top of your oven. Each briquette adds 10–20 degrees of heat. For breakfast, prepare a hash with bacon, eggs, onions, potatoes, cheese, salt, and pepper. For lunch, try cooking campfire nachos with tortilla chips, ground beef, beans, onions, cilantro, cheese, and avocado. And for dinner, butterfly your freshly caught trout and bake it with some potatoes and butter. Cooking while camping should be an enjoyable experience. Pack a Dutch oven and charcoal briquettes the next time you’re out in the wilderness to add a fun and rustic element to your meals.
The briquettes around the Dutch oven provide long-lasting and consistent heat distribution. The number of briquettes you use depends on the size of your Dutch oven and what you’re cooking. However, you can use the following chart as a rule of thumb to determine how many briquettes you need for certain temperatures and oven sizes.
YOUR PATIENT DID WHAT? Working as a Doctor Can Be Downright Humerus
Working as a doctor, you see some pretty crazy things. In some cases, it can be maddening, but mostly it’s just pure fun.

“A patient of mine had severe allergies stemming from his dog. I prescribed an inhaler to him, as is common practice. He came back a week later with issues. ‘My dog won’t take it,’ he said.”
“I work with a lot of interesting people, but this story takes the cake for me. I was working with a patient for a routine checkup. As I leaned in to check her pulse, she made an odd comment. ‘You remind me of my fourth husband,’ she said. ‘Fourth? How many have you had?’ I asked. She replied, ‘Three.’”

“We doctors like to think we’re smart, but in actuality, were subject to the same lapses as everyone. One day, a patient came to me worried about a birthmark. Without thinking, I asked, ‘How long have you had it?’”

“The relationship between a physician and surgeon can be complicated at times. In some cases, you have to fight for the path you believe is right, and that can leave wounds. One day I, a physician, was walking and bumped
