Roasting Weiners.

There are number OF variations
that one can plan from the usual
wiener roast menu which generally
consists of wieners, buns catsup,
pickles. with perhaps pie as sort
OF desert. For instance one can use
the campfire to roast corn. After
part of the wood has burned to Goals.
a CRATE can be placed over them, and
the sweet corn, still in the shucks
placed over the bars. There is q
flavor given to the corn, roasted this
way that no other method of cook
ing will give it. The same is true
or roasted potatoes. The Jackets
are left on, the potatoes washed and
placed over the crate or better on
a fiat stone. Butter and salt are of
course necessary, accompanjments
for both the potatoes and corn.
Canned beans are also good to
serve at wiener roast as they are
always liked.
