(Borrowed from Saturday.)

As if I did not have enough on my plate yet, I’ve volunteered to act as “kitchen mentor” for Spånga scout group.

The scout group arranges camps and hikes every year, some of them quite large-scale. I know from my own experience that managing the kitchen for one of those camps is a major undertaking. That task would be easier if each kitchen manager could build upon the experience gained from previous years, but for some reason that kind of learning hasn’t really been happening. So I’ve started working to get this process organized and streamlined. Browsing through existing documents, organizing and updating and collating and adding.

It’s not all about documentation though. Together with a few other “supporting members” of the scout group, I spent Saturday morning inventorying the camp kitchen equipment, counting pots and pans, matching them up with their lids, and then re-packing it all like a jigsaw puzzle. Or maybe more like the traffic block puzzle, the one with oblong blocks you can slide back and forth, that block each other and block the exit.
