Interim Report: UPDATED!

K-Rock coming at you live with no Jive from your nation's capitol. I am coming up with a prospective menu, which I hope to have online by tomorrow afternoon. I appreciate the inquipment inventory on the site: I think it will be helpful not just this year but in years to come.

I would like to use it for the following reasons: It's organic, which fits in with our camping ethos of respect for the land, mixed with our ethos of laziness and it finally gives us something concrete to ask for when someone says "can you get your hand off of your batter blaster?" or "great, you squirted your batter blaster all over my face, AGAIN!" All good things in my book.
