Camp cooking with a difference

Thursday, February 4, 2010
Uhu - I so clearly remember the night. We had this whole term program based on food - supposedly healthy food and one night, we challenged the youth to cook a coca-cola chicken!
yes - you read that right - cook with coca-cola. Well they were really looking forward to that.
So we had four groups of youth and they got the EXACT copy of the recipe each and yes we had the exact measured ingredients for each group- yet SOMEHOW we ended up having 4 very different meals. Still it tasted all right, and the kids had a ball. funny really watching them cut an onion, then wiping the eyes cause they cry - and in the process putting more onion stuff into eyes . . . . . .

anywoo - below is the workings - enjoy
