CAMP
FRIEDLANDER 2008 (Friday~Sunday, April 25~27)
 |
|
 |
After
a busy morning of activities, everyone was ready for
lunch. Cubmaster Bob Meek gathered the crew together and
explained how to make and bake individual pizzas in a box
oven. Then he cleared out of the way and let the Den
Leaders, Den Chiefs, Cub Scouts, and their parents have at it. |
 |
|
 |
| The pizza
recipe is pretty simple -- start with half an english
muffin. Add a tablespoon of pasta sauce. Then
sprinkle with grated cheese. Splitting the muffins was the
hardest part for the Cub Scouts. |
 |
|
 |
| The box
oven was made by lining a large box (in our case, a potato chip
box) with aluminum foil to trap the heat. Four empty soup
or vegetable cans elevate a tray to hold charcoal off the bottom
of the box. Four more cans elevate the tray that holds the
pizzas from the charcoal. Each charcoal briquette will
generate about 25 degrees of heat, so temperature can be
controlled just like a home oven. |
 |
|
 |
| One tray
of pizzas takes about 10~12 minutes, just like individual pizzas
at home. The oven was about 450 degrees inside, so adults
with oven mits handled the actual baking. After the pizzas were
cooked, we baked chocolate chip cookies for dessert. |

| Nobody
complained of being hungry, so everything must have turned out
OK. At left, Josh found a seat on the steps. At
right, Dawson looks like a man who just ate Thanksgiving dinner
as Tre polishes off his meal with a gulp of Kool-Aid. |
