| Despite it's mascot's undeniable lovability and cuteness, you won't find any Pillsbury ready-to-bake cookie dough here. |
|
|
|
This cookie dough is made from scratch (mostly). |
| For he last few days, specific groups have ventured into the cafeteria during free swim to learn basic baking techniques like mixing. |
|
|
|
The activity is led by Linda, the head of Centenary College's cafeteria, who is responsible for providing Campus Kids' meals. |
| Butter, sugar, vanilla, flour, baking soda, and salt have all been measured out for campers to homogenize. |

And let's not kid ourselves, not all of the dough goes into the oven. | ||
| But the dough that does gets placed onto the rack and put into the oven. |

And voila! |

|
With some time left at the end of the period, Linda leads a food trivia contest. |
|||
| For instance, did you know that potatoes and lettuce are the most eaten vegetable in the US? |
|
||
|
|
Or how about the origin of Hackettstown's own M&M: made for soldiers so that they wouldn't melt in the trenches (hence their tag line). | ||
| White Castle was the first fast food restaurant in the US, obviously dating back to the United State's Medieval era. (Trivial note: there's a new White Castle under construction in Hackettstown as we speak.) |
|
||
| And for some reason, the people who walk out to snack with a turquoise and white box, now known camp-wide for it's sugary contents, become the most popular. Whooda thunk it? | |||
