Fire & Cooking

On Saturday night while most people were inside keeping out of the pouring rain, the Sliema Venture Unit were constructing a bivvy down in Mosta Valley in which they would spend that lovely night. Although it rained all night, we made the most of it, we all had a good night's sleep and woke up to the brilliant weather and scenery.

At 0900 on Sunday we were joined by our friends from the B'Kara venture Unit and we spent the morning and best part of the afternoon cooking --- and eating!!

Keeping the fires going

We had quite a long menu; starting with meat pies which we made completely from scratch. This included frying the mince with onions and stuff, making the pastry, filling them and baking in a mud oven. For our middle course we had a delish lettuce and spring onion soup and for mains; flame grilled pork chops & patata l-forn.

After all that food we still had room for some hot chocolate so we set about showing the B'Kara Ventures how to make SVS Hotchocolate.

We had a great time on Sunday with the B'Kara ventures- i'll soon upload some pics of Saturday night's soup (the one we were in!!) and some photos from the Seminar organised by IHQ at MCC.

Our next activity is a bridge building session so that the ventures practice their pioneering skills.
