Quick Cooking Tips

Posted 07-13-2008 at 03:59 PM by merrystrong

I love to cook, even when I’m camping. Yes, sometimes I find it a bit more challenging but enjoyable just the same. Over the years, I have discovered several quick cooking tips that save me time both home and on the road.

What’s a camping trip without s’mores? When packing marshmallows, for the trip, add a little bit of powdered sugar to the bag. Doing this makes it much less likely that your marshmallows will stick together, especially in warmer weather....

Okay... now that I have gotten a Sesame Street song stuck in your head for the next few days... I thought I might ask....

Why do women that are not "outdoor" types go camping?

You know the ones I am talking about.

They have manicured finger nails that they fret about chipping on firewood, and they use hairspray and then wonder why all those "icky" bugs are buzzing around their head.
