First Year Seasonal
We had a great year as Seasonal Campers. Weren't sure we were going to like it, but I have to say, being 20 minutes from home we used the trailer alot more than we had in previous years. The campground in Southern Ontario was terrific. It had a heated pool (which closed today for the season, I thought that was kinda early) and a hot tub and had lots to do almost every weekend.
Just thought I would ask how everyone's summer went at their seasonal site.

Recipes for Tailgating
With the NFL season just around the corner does anyone have any great recipes that they would love to share. I have included one for BBQ'd Chicken Pizzas.
Now would be good time to say: Go Bills Go!!
Barbecued Chicken Pizzas
3 grilled boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 lb (500 g) pizza dough
1/3 cup (75 mL) barbecue sauce
2 cups (500 mL) shredded Monterey Jack cheese
1 sweet green pepper, cut into rings
1/2 tsp (2 mL) hot pepper flakes
1/2 tsp (2 mL) dried oregano
Preparation:
Cut chicken crosswise into slices; set aside.
On lightly floured surface, divide dough into quarters; shape each into disc. Roll out each into 8-inch (20 cm) oval. Place on greased grill over medium heat; close lid and grill, turning once, until crisp, about 7 minutes. Remove from grill.
Brush with half of the barbecue sauce. Sprinkle evenly with half of the cheese. Arrange chicken over top; drizzle with remaining barbecue sauce. Add green pepper; sprinkle with remaining cheese, hot pepper flakes and oregano.
Return to grill; close lid and grill until cheese is melted and bubbly and crust is golden, about 10 minutes.
You can vary the toppings to include a mix of sliced sweet peppers and thinly sliced red onion, jalapeño pepper and Cheddar cheese.
Servings: 4

RE: Deep Fried Dill Pickles
Cool, thanks so much for the recipes. I did have them with Ranch Dressing. I had never heard of them before, but they are tasty. You get the strangest looks when you tell people you tried them.

Deep Fried Dill Pickles
I know this sounds like a strange request, but I recently tried them at a french fries truck in Sarnia, Ontario and just loved them. I would love to try making them at home. Does anyone have a recipe for them. Thanks

RE: seasonal camp site
Update on our Seasonal. We took it as of May 1, as I was out of vacation at work and we wanted to enjoy our trailer. It is about 20 minutes from home. We have used the trailer more now than ever. The park is really nice, very quiet and there is stuff to do most weekends (chilli cookoffs, Bingos, auctions, hayride for the kids etc). I'm really glad we did it.

RE: Which Grocery Store -- Sarnia?
The Walmart Super Centre in Sarnia is terrific. Not sure it's open at this time of year at 6:00 am but I know at 7 am it is. A really nice selection of everything. Would recommend it.

RE: Beds Very Uncomfortable
We just changed our mattress in our 2005 jayco jayflight. It had the usual lumpy matress. We bought a 6 inch high density foam mattress. We placed a egg carton style foam on top as well and it works great.

It is a very nice quiet and clean park that has spots for overnight and short term stays. Take a look at the website. The pool is great and they have activities throughout the year.
