Jello

6 hours- that's how long it takes to make 40 gallons of jello. The slowest part is boiling that much water- that takes a REALLY long time. It is also a challenge to find enough containers, enough space in the refrigerator (even a big walk in camp-sized one) and of course there is the issue of mixing and then carrying sloshing bowls of liquid across the kitchen while your head cook looks on in disgust.

I ran back and forth from the dining hall to my house most of the day. My hands are stained red and I am sticky, really sticky, but I am also very proud of myself, because I was a jello making machine.

On Wednesday, we will spread the containers across the field and let the kids throw it at each other until they are covered head to toe.

Just another typical day at the office...
