The Quilt Inn Country Cookbook  
Aliske Webb  
And, except for the scars, Dan’s hands are just fine. So’s his heart.  
It’s tradition around fire halls that the men take turns preparing their ‘specialty’  
meals for the other men. Because they could be called to an emergency at any  
minute, their recipes tend to be easy to start, and stop, at any time. The fellas use  
convenience items like frozen or canned ingredients. We like to use fresh wherever  
possible. The food also keeps well on low heat for prolonged periods of time and can  
be quickly reheated. They are hearty and scrumptious too!
