Last week was the annual fathers and sons camp out. This is an annual tradition that is highly anticipated from one year to the next. This year the highlight was watching Star Wars 7 under the stars. Along with the waterslide, dutch oven, 4 wheeler rides and being away from home sleeping in a tent it was AWESOME!
The stake provides a hearty man breakfast of pancakes, sausages, eggs, hash browns, and juice. This year they had lots leftover which they were about to toss when the cook stopped and asked Greg if he wanted to take it home.
Being a Saunders and recognizing the potential of leftovers he said yes. So we made breakfast burritos for the week. I have to say I was a bit shocked at how much was just going to be tossed.
Is this pre-dumpster diving? Or just big family survival skills? One brother in-law, from a large family, remembers dumpster diving with his savvy grandfather behind the grocery stores. They would glean all the dented cans- these experiences are now family legend and the thriftiness is a family trait. We didn't go that far, and we were sure thankful for the burrito fixin's because they are a favorite family breakfast.
