My son Pat spent the weekend at Shooting camp for Boy Scouts. He got to shoot a 20 gauge shot gun, bows, and some other weapons. He had a great time.
He found out last week that he had to prepare a meal for his group of ten scouts. The meal had to be approved by the scoutmaster in advance and had to include protein, grain, and vegetable.
Pat's first idea was hot dogs. No go said the Scoutmaster--too easy.
Pat's second idea was grilled cheese. Barely an improvement was the response.
On the morning of the camp out Pat decides on "chili mac surprise." Fine, except we had none of the ingredients at home. Guess whose problem that was...
Long story short, Pat's meal was a big hit. He even received praise from the (kinda picky if you ask me) Scoutmaster.
Finally, a skill learned that I may be able to take advantage of.
