Beach Cookout

Today, April 5th Ruma Tahi and Waru went
down to Karoro Beach for the Willam Pike cookout challenge.

Today when we went down to the beach and
we got in our groups, our group parent was Clark Ellery.
He helped us get ideas on what would be better to do and
what to get for the fire. We had watched a video on how
to start a fire  and keep it going.

Last week we had planned what we were going to cook,
everybody had things to buy and bring. I had to bring tongs,plates and oil.
Sasha brought the food and Eamon had to bring cheese and tomato sauce.
We each gave her $5.00 towards the cost.

We had planned to cook burgers and smores. Sasha had also brought a
hot plate, so it was a lot easier to cook things.
First we started by putting the oil on 1 pattie and rubbing it on another
 to spread the oil. After we spread it, we put them on the hot plate and
waited for them to cook. When they had cooked we moved them to the
cooler side of the hot plate. Next we put all of the veggies into the burgers.   

My favorite part was when we got to eat the food, because
I wanted to know what the burgers would taste like.
I was really surprised because they tasted really good!
The smores were ok because I kept burning them.

This was such a fun experience and I would like to
do it again because it was nice to be outdoors and be around more  people.
