Because of using a small kitchen, simple ingredients, and no “gadgets”, many of your recipes are readily adapted to camper/RV/caravan cooking. Thank you! For baking I can use my big three-legged Dutch oven in coals.

That is another great recipe! Don't you ever take a day off, or do you do several videos in one day and release them daily? Your videography, editing and presentation are so good. Now, I caught my little chihuahua girlie, Coco, intently watching you on my 50" tv this morning! She knows good stuff when she sees it and/or hears your voice. 😎

With the sausage in the Gratin is the middle finger to the French that the English can make better. We should rename this dish a British name. Just like in the olden days when the French stole our recipes such as burnt cream and the French called it the crème brûlée. The Bloody effers.

Love potatoes Au Gratin (Scalloped is with no cheese here). Mom made it with leftover ham. For fresh sausages we only have little breakfast links, Italian, Chicken with apple, and Brats. Had Brats once and remember them being less intense in flavor than breakfast sausage and Italian... do you think Brats would taste good in this?? Probably a stupid question cause what doesn't taste good in a cheese sauce (except breakfast links). Love that this again is not fussing with roux and a Bechamel sauce.
