Cheeseburger in a Can

Alaska has thousands of miles of wilderness to enjoy your favorite outdoor activity. Winter time enthusiasts enjoy snow machining, skiing, ice fishing, or even winter camping.

The endless hours of summer sunlight gives way to a slightly different time around the campfire than found in other places as we search out the many wonders found in the northland.

I ran across an item that may add a slightly different take on one of our everyday foods . . . the cheeseburger. Now most of us has stopped into the local burger joint and gotten one to go. I’m not sure if other parts of the country has what we call “the six dollar burger” as the going price here in Anchorage is that or more.

The secret to a good cheeseburger is its freshness. Hot off the grill, with all of the ingredients piping hot. Not the kind of food you’d think to put in a can. The graphics on this German site make it clear this product is intended to pack for outdoor sports such as camping, fishing, canoeing, or some other activity. I can’t help but feel you should go with something you’d expect to eat out of a can . . . like soup.

The super bowl is coming this weekend I guess a tailgate party can take on a whole new meaning. When char broiling a burger with your tailpipe is just not doing it for you, why not cook up a cheeseburger in a can?

Pop the top and say cheese.









Ah, camping . . . the roar of the fire, the buzz of the mega mosquitoes found in the far north. What could make this scene any better? That’s right, the ultimate camping food: cheeseburger in a can. Preparation is easy, you just boil some water, throw the can into it, “give it a minute or two, fish it out, open the lid, and eat.”

How hungry would you have to be to eat a Cheeseburger in a Can?

For me . . . I think pretty hungry.

I’ll stick to the Arctic Roadrunner for my “burger fix” and also enjoy one of their great milkshakes. Maybe I’ll head over there tomorrow for lunch.

Morrison Springs - Ponce de Leon, Florida

Morrison Springs Ponce de Leon, Florida County road 181 Morrison Springs was one of our favorite dive spots on many of our Florida trips but it also had the most danger to it.  One of Northwest Florida’s best-kept secrets was known to more Georgia and Alabama folks than Floridians.  And they weren’t talking.  It had to do with the jewel of a Panhandle spring, a turquoise pool surrounded by stately cypress trees whose aerial roots stand taller than a man. Below the surface, clear, 68-degree water wells up from a spring cave source over 90 feet deep. Morrison Springs is just far enough off the beaten path in this sunny pine and cypress country to be special for any diver lucky enough to find and dive the site. The shallow pool reflects the overhead blue sky and if the water is clear and the bottom clean of silt, it resembles a giant sapphire.  Unlike some springs with a deep, black hole source, this one takes visitors gradually into its shallows from a golden-sand beach.

Are Showing Your Nipples Appropriate Work Attire?

Let me first say that personally, I have no problem with it at all. This has been kind of a weird week here in the north land with the first of many winter snowfalls’s to come and the landscape once again beautifully covered in the white stuff. It looks like the kids will have to put their Halloween costume on over a snowsuit again this year as the cold snowy stuff is here again. That is not what I wanted to write about tonight but was necessary to set up what I did want to write about. “Frosty nipples” are quite common here during most of the year and when things cool down on the cusp of winter probably more so. Work attire with tight shirts or low cut blouses that ‘make a statement’ during colder weather could be taken several ways by co-workers or visitors to your place of business. While you may not always be taken seriously by others in the office and some may have trouble looking you in the face, I say it's a freedom of rights issue. If you want to show o

Biscuits and Whores

Some of the best things about life I learned from Lonesome Dove. Great movie, excellent characters, and tells a story about how to live life. Augustus McCrae “It ain’t dying I’m talking about, it’s living.   I doubt it matters where you die, but it matters where you live.” I'm just tryin' to keep everything in balance, Woodrow. You do more work than you got to, so it's my obligation to do less. “Yesterday’s gone and we can’t get it back.” “I'm sure partial to the evening,' Augustus said. 'The evening and the morning.   If we just didn't have to have the rest of the dern day I'd be a lot happier.” Hat Creek Cattle Company Well we don't rent pigs and I figure it's better to say it right out front because a man that does like to rent pigs is . . . he's hard to stop. Biscuits “I never knew you to get excited about anything except biscuits maybe . . . and whores!”    Captain Woodrow Call to Augustus McCrae in Lonesome Dove. Whores L
