Don't worry I went out. I got things. Things for an amazing broccoli cheese soup with bacon bits...

Now that does sound Good!
Well, I guess I have Catholic roots as I am shamed, and thus will throw out the recipe..."NO SOUP FOR YOU!"
By Cara Lyons
Serves: 4
Hands-on time: 25 minutes
Total time: 5 hours (including 4 hours of chilling time)
INGREDIENTS: (Times 10)
1 tbsp coconut oil
2 large leeks, thinly sliced (white and light green parts only)
3 ears corn, husked, silk removed
2 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
1 avocado, pitted, peeled and diced
6 oz grape tomatoes, quartered lengthwise
8 to 10 leaves fresh, thinly-sliced basil
8 oz small or medium shrimp, peeled and deveined, tails removed
1/4 tsp sea salt
1/8 tsp fresh ground black pepper
2 tbsp fresh lime juice
INSTRUCTIONS:
In a large saucepan on low, heat oil until melted. Add leeks and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 8 minutes or until softened.
Meanwhile, over a large bowl, cut corn kernels from cobs. (TIP: A sharp, serrated knife would work well.) With a heavy knife, cut each cob into 2 to 3 pieces.
Add corn kernels and pieces of cob to pot with leeks. Add broth and 2 cups water, and increase heat to high. Once boiling, reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for 25 minutes.
Remove pot from heat and discard cobs. Let cool for 10 to 15 minutes, then purée soup with an immersion blender. (Alternatively, carefully purée soup in batches in a food processor or blender.) Transfer to a large bowl, cover and chill for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
In a small bowl, toss avocado, tomatoes and basil.
Heat a nonstick skillet on medium. Season shrimp with salt and pepper, add to skillet and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, turning once, until just opaque.
Just before serving, stir lime juice into chilled soup. Ladle into bowls and garnish with avocado-tomato mixture and shrimp, dividing evenly.

Any update on site assignment, it would be nice to have some idea of were we are going to be in relationship to everything. Departure will soon be here and the wind will be in my ever shortening hair... LOL!!!!
I believe we will not have to worry about the burn ban.
Just got permission from work to take Friday off, so I would love to come and hang with you guys & gals. I'll bring some items from my gear closet to donate to the raffle. Looks like the Cooks Ferry and the Post Oak loop campsites are the only ones left, going to try for sites 90 or 91 to be closer to you guys in Springfield unless someone is willing to share a site. If you guys need the methanol, I can paypal joe_guilbeau for it and transport it out there since we both live in San Antonio.
