[Sca-cooks] camp cooking suggestions and tips

[Cat .]

Thank you Your Grace
Yes, I think I have it broken down into those categories, and plan to include some recipe suggestions for Period dishes that work well in camp (though I personally mostly do the seal a meal so I have time to play, shop, fight, socialize too.)

I was asked to do Camp Cooking 101 so I am including the non period stuff (including option 1 - MRE) and will do ice cream during class (if anyone shows up) as an example of what is possible.

Actually, if anyone wants to see the handout (still in progress, I have till 3pm Friday to finalize it :) to make commentary, please email me directly offlist and i will email to you. 

Thank you all again for your comments and suggestions
Gwen Cat
