Over the years, today has been one of the most enjoyable tasks and partnerships we have created throughout the history of 30Days 30Ways.
Today, we announce a wonderful partnership with our friends at the Arizona Department of Emergency and Military Affairs (DEMA), creators of the Emergency Kit Cook-Off. We want you to create an Emergency Kit Cook-Off recipe around our “Take Me Out to the Ballgame” theme. So lets dust off those aprons, get creative, and lets cook!
** A reminder, today requires an extra step in submitting your responses. Please be sure to read the entire entry.
DAY 13 ACTIVITY:
Specifically, we challenge you to:
2 Pts – 1) create a recipe that uses at least one Featured Ingredient and only nonperishable pantry and kit items
AND
2) use manual tools (e.g., can openers and hand whisks) instead of modern appliances–especially microwaves–in the preparation. Use the oven and/or stovetop if you must, BUT we challenge you to use safe, alternative heating sources if possible.
This year’s Featured Ingredients are:
- Cracker Jack
- Peanuts (any variety)
- Canned corn as in “can of corn” or a high, easy-to-catch fly ball.
- Potato as in a “tater” or a homerun.
- Pickled vegetables (any variety) as in “caught in a pickle” or a rundown between the bases.
