assistant: Hi Glen: Will have to be after the registrations are down to a dribble
as I am the District Registrar. Our registration is tomorrow and I am
going to be snowed with paper work shortly. Then I will have a look and
see what else I can find for you.
Can't you get permission from the Leader? If it's for Scouting? Wouldn't
they give permission? With all those back issues you will find a lot of
recipes. Some are in articles but most will be near the back usually
next to songs, Scouter's 5 etc. You could really use a scanner. :)
just be a collection of useable information and lots of good recipes!
The Leader here too is a mine of information.
I have a few old Scout books too. And some Scout Song books.
Ok will do. There are some nice ones in the old Leaders also. And some
of them are really unique.
Have you tried the Cooking Echo's in Fido? There are tons of recipes. I
am afraid to get those echos as I was on once and I can't say no. :(
Ended up last time I had a peek in there with a bunch of dog biscuit
recipes. And our dog is on a diet. He makes you feel such a heel if you
don't share. Have to watch his weight as it is not a good idea to let
this breed of dog get overweight. Actually thinking about it he is not a
good breed to have if you are a Scout. His name is Oscar Myer. Guess
what breed he is? :) Have to watch him closely so he doesn't end up on
the menu. ;)
My pleasure.
