Today (August 4th) is National Chocolate Chip Cookie Day! On this day in 1937, Ruth Graves Wakefield accidentally added chocolate chips to her cookie dough. The chocolate chip cookie was born! I bet she had one happy family. Time to go to the nearest bakery!

Once upon a time, folks would stroll fairs and beaches, ice cream in their bare hands–what a mess! On this day (July 23) at the 1904 St. Louis World’s Fair, Arnold Fornachou formed a waffle into a cone and made the first commercial ice cream cones. No more drippy hands! (cones had been tried before but had never became popular) Go out and buy that cone!

If you gotta measure or you’re squeamish, you’re not a camper! This is my late mother’s recipe. It is easy enough for campers and kids to fix. If you’re home with the kids, cook the dinners in the oven.
Give each child a large piece of aluminum foil—spread olive oil inside the foil to keep food from sticking. Hamburger patty, though stewing beef, steak, and sausage also work. Each child picks out their own veggies: potatoes, tomatoes, bell peppers, onions, carrots. Salt, pepper. Wrap it and put in the fire or oven. Done when the meat is cooked.

Ooani in Kickapoo. Years ago, I read a book about Kickapoo life in the 1950’s. For any time of the day, they enjoyed cooking eggs. I fixed these with my sons while camping. Can be done at home. Use a large greased skillet: Add eggs. Now add whatever veggies etc. you have. Kids might enjoy adding their favorite leftovers to the eggs: (everything in small pieces) tomatoes, onions, bell peppers, bacon, celery, peppers, and so on. No milk, or you’ve got an omelet. (cheese is messy for campers)
