Garden - Not too much has been happening. It's just been too hot to put new plants out. Went camping last weekend with my Boy Scouts and, since it rained a little Friday, my husband figured that he didn't have to water the plants (as he said he would). I will have to re-plant zucchini, it ALL died. My new mint plants aren't looking too good either. Today is supposed to be cooler, so maybe I can get stuff planted today

Cooking - Today, I am trying to figure out something to do with leftovers from the campout. Have leftover pot roast and pork chops (cooked) that I put in the freezer Sunday when I got home from camping. The roast was slow simmered in a Dutch oven, the chops were pan fried. I over-estimated what we would need for food (better too much than too little, right?). Only the Scoutmaster and I showed up at the end point, so we figured out what would 'hold' until another trip and divided up the rest. I got apples, oranges....... and a milk crate full of bread products, in addition to the meat. I've made croutons (2 gallon bags full), took about 1/3 of the bread for that. Currently, I'm making dried bread crumbs with the rest and will probably end up with about 3 gallons. The apples are in my dehydrator now

Camping with the Scouts - We take part every year in a program called Sturgeon for Tomorrow. Spring is the time for them to come into the rivers to spawn. We camp on the river near the spawning grounds. While we don't actively keep watch for poachers, having so many people in the woods does discourage that activity. So for us, it's a fun, play in the woods type of thing. We encourage the boys' families to come with us. This year, I almost wish we didn't because 2 of the parents had a major falling out and one family chose to leave early. Since one is an Assistant Scoutmaster and the other is the Troop Committee Chairman, there is no way I would discourage them from coming. Hopefully they will both act like mature adults and talk it out. I have talked to both of them. Both are still interested in continuing with the troop. One is willing to appologize, but the other will not take her calls, so I don't know how this is going to shake out.
Other than that, a great time was had by all. Three boys got through their Scoutmaster conferences, and 5 passed their Board of Reviews for rank advancement. So we need to have a Court of Honor soon to give them their patches.
