Current Entry: No Waste Meal
The idea for Winter Camp XLIII's No Waste Meal was born back in late March when Jeff Rand suggested it. After some discussion, it was agreed that the meal would target no waste only at camp-the goal was to ensure we ate the whole meal and that we generated no garbage in the cooking of the meal.
The reality of the meal probably demonstrated just how common waste is in a meal. It's hard to buy things that aren't wrapped in plastic or packaged in a box. In the end, Doug Wilson and Jeff Rand paid a visit to a bulk store-to which they traveled in Doug's Model T-which allowed customers to bring in their own containers to buy things in. They acquired most of the ingredients for the meal there. The meat was mailed to us by former camp ranger Dave Morosky.
We didn't reach our goal of no waste, but the attempt was interesting and fun.
The meal itself was pretty tasty-the main course was a combination of sausage, vegetables, and grains served with rice. We also had tomatoes and cucumbers, and a medley of dried fruit along with ice water to drink. (SD)
