We are a group of
14 August: Outdoor Cooking
We had our first outdoor cooking as YA chapter today! It has been a while
since we last practiced our fire lighting skills and this activity had
definitely helped us revise and improve on our fire lighting.
We split
ourselves into two teams, one in charge of the fire and another in charge of
food preparation. While the team was preparing the food, the fire team dug up
two pits for the fire.
In each
pit, we arranged the kindling in an arrangement of a wigwam, with 木麻黃 in the
middle of the twigs. Next, we lighted the木麻黃 which will
spread the fire to the twigs.
We fed more
twigs and after a while, we had our fire ready for cooking! We decided to
switch to amber cooking so as to reduce the amount of smoke.

The outdoor cooking this time was slightly
different as we decided not to cook our traditional instant noodles. Instead,
we explored different types of food and tried a few new recipes. One of the
most interesting recipes we had was cooking bananas or apples marshmallows,
chocolate chips and raisins in the middle. Our food turned out well, much as we
expected! :)

We had a
great time bonding through food as a chapter as well as with the guiders. Looking
for the next cooking session two weeks later! ;)
