Bush Camp 1
Photos from a bush camp when we're not cooking. There's no time for photos when we are cooking...Since Dakar, our group has gotten substantially larger, the trip from Dover to Dakar there were only 10 of us, now there are 22 of us. The more the merrier, as they say. Cooking is definately more of a challenge now trying to figure out how much pasta, sauce, etc to make, portion sizes. I'm never actually satisfied that there was enough food to go around, until the last have eaten and I see that there is still lots of leftovers for the next cook group to use if they wish. Supper is by far the most stressful to make, because not only are we usually cooking under camp lights, we have to also deal with the bugs galore that attack us, since they are attracted to the light. Our cook group had a particular tough time, since we were kind of 'forced' to use the leftover tomatoe paste for pasta sauce, but none of us really know much about it, as well as the vegatables that we picked up in the market were limited to onions, eggplant, and carrots. After the initial taste sampling the sauce was really quite bitter, so we added lots of sugar to compensate, and sure
enough it turned out. People ate it, and I'm happy to say that there was no left over sauce, only left over pasta - enough for our pasta salad that we are making for lunch the next day...
Other camp 'chores/duties' are running pretty efficiently now that the 'newbies' have more or less learned their various tasks required of them. All in all everything seems to be running fairly smoothly.
