Kitchen Disaster

July 26-




OK maybe not an actual disaster but ...... For days I've been creating and adjusting recipes but tonight's dessert was going to be a slam dunk. I was making Dirt. Served at camps everywhere, you make chocolate pudding,top it with Oreo cookie crumbs and decorate with gummy worms. Well I got distracted while making the pudding and added about twice as much milk. So I ended up with Mass quantities of milk chocolate stuff that would never set up.  Since I had used the last of the pudding mix, I had only 1 choice. I served MUD.


 Since HMP is an analog for Mars and/or the Moon, MUD became an analog for every gooey, messy project the researchers had ever encountered. Kira offered to sink a CO2 sensor into it to see if it could support life.



Great After Dinner Speaker


 This year we don't have a DVD project to show movies to the group so our entertainment is sparse. So I was the entertainment. I started out by suggesting some improvements to camp---a camp song, evening sing along time---crafts!!!  Then I talked about Pathways, alternate education and home schooling. It went great. Afterwards I sat around a talked a bit before hitting the bed.

I miss animals:
I've seen a couple birds. I've heard more from a distance. Seen rabbit tracks and actually seen an Arctic hare. I'm told at Drill Hill  lemmings will actually take nuts from peoples hands and raid the snack boxes. Unfortunately that usually doesn't happen until 2 + weeks into the drilling season. I truely miss seeing animals. So I want to see my cat!
