Next On the agenda is one week of div ing into soups and stews. They’ll be coming around the vegetable bin when they come! But what will they be coming to do. To tackle the culinary prob lems of vegetable know-how. Next these hard-boiled boys will scram ble throtigh the preparation of macaroni, cheese, and eggs. Of course everyone knows that on a camping trip it is necessary to take fruits to keep the doctor away. Therefore, the selecting, purchasing, preparing, and serv ing of fruits is taught. The boys also get a taste of bread baking and flapjack making. After all, what’s a camping trip without flapjacks? Everybody likes a little spice, but does everybody conjure his own herbs in seasoning as these cooks do? Oh well, they live and , learn. To pamper the sweet tooth Miss York gives instructions on desserts. Beverages, food habits, and foods along the camping trail are a few other subjects. They will also study modern equipment in regard to safety in the kitchen, use and care of equipment, and time and motion as related to cookery.
