    Tin Foil dinner suggestions

    in Open Discussion - Program

    Posted

    I don't remember were I found this but this is a good one

     

    Chicken and Shrimp

    Chicken breasts, shrimp, snow peas, celery, and bean sprouts. Similar to a stir-fry. The meat was place on the bottom (btw the chicken had been slightly cooked prior to going), with the vegi's on top. I had a couple of dashes of Teryaki sauce, some spices (tarragon and others from a pre-mix spice jar).

     

    The only difference is we use chicken tenders so we don't have to pre-cook and you could get the deveined cooked shrimp if you wanted.

     

    Though I haven't done it since I was a scout there was no foil meal we use to do. Take a potato and carefully cut a core out of the middle (length wise) of the potato. Fill the center with a mix of hamburger, onion and cheese. Create plugs for ether of the potato using the core. Now it seems to me we use to seal the plugs with some egg white but I think there were times we forgot the egg white too. We would put a layer of mud around the potato and put it in the coals for about an hour or so. I guess if you wanted to skip the mud you could wrap in in foil instead (maybe two layers).

     

    The really important thing to do is to try the foil dinner you decide on first before the training(This message has been edited by oldisnewagain1)

    Catchy isn't it!

     

    I found myself singing it on the way home yesterday from my first weekend too...

     

    My head is still spinning from the weekend and getting up this morning seemed so surreal. I never felt so in-tune with things or laughed so hard in a long time. I already miss it.

    Just finished first weekend...

     

    Wish I brought a stadium chair or just a cushion. (Man, those benches are hard.)

     

    Glad I brought;

     

    A small piece of leather (big enough to wrap around the patrol flag pole) and a small gas powered soldering pen. I used the soldering pen to mark our totem on the leather and later we will wood burn our names on the pole.

     

    My favorite wood carving knife. (Great for making bear claw totems!)

     

    Ear plugs for sleeping.

    Pardon my posting of an old Scoutmasters minute but I think it applies here;

     

    A friend of ours was walking down a deserted Mexican beach at sunset. As he walked along, he began to see another man in the distance. As he grew nearer, he noticed that the local native kept leaning down, picking something up and throwing it out into the water. Time and again he kept hurling things out into the ocean.

     

    As our friend approached even closer, he noticed that the man was picking up starfish that had been washed up on the beach and, one at a time, he was throwing them back into the water.

     

    Our friend was puzzled. He approached the man and said, "Good evening, friend. I was wondering what you are doing."

     

    "I'm throwing these starfish back into the ocean. You see, it's low tide right now and all of these starfish have been washed up onto the shore. If I don't throw them back into the sea, they'll die up here from lack of oxygen."

     

    "I understand," my friend replied, "but there must be thousands of starfish on this beach. You can't possibly get to all of them. There are simply too many. And don't you realize this is probably happening on hundreds of beaches all up and down this coast. Can't you see that you can't possibly make a difference?"

     

    The local native smiled, bent down and picked up yet another starfish, and as he threw it back into the sea, he replied, "Made a difference to that one!"

     

     

    Heard any good jokes lately?

    At summer camp two leaders were talking when a scout holding a cup ran by. A few moments latter the same boy ran by them again with an empty cup. This happens a few more times before the Scoutmaster stops the scout to ask him what was going on. The scout replied "The mess hall is on fire" to which the Scoutmaster replied "You can't put out the fire with a cup of water." The Scout smiled and said "Water? This is gasoline."
