I said above something about camping out. That was my memories of when I was 
*much* younger coming through. TBH - sleeping out under the stars - or even 
with a thin layer of nylon/canvas/whatever between me and them is no longer on 
my list of desirable things.

I lived much of my younger days with a single burner hot plate, no oven. When 
I go an electric skillet it was a golden day. I could actually cook a main AND 
a side at the same time.   Bv)=  One adapts as necessary.

Looks decent. I make a beef-barley soup that is of similar ingredients - save 
the dairy component. And it often is thick enough to be considered a "stew".
