Cooking Dinner an Odd Way



On our trip home from camping with my cousins it was getting late and we thought we were going to make it to the next town for dinner. Well, on our way one child said I have to use the restroom and she wasn't giving us much time. So we stopped at the next place that happened to be a boat ramp with restrooms. When we stopped guess who was hungry Lilly so I started nursing her. When Kyle realized we were going to be there a while he decided to cook dinner. So took out his jet boil (a small camping stove for back packing). It started up and only lasted a couple of minutes due to no fuel. So then he decided to get out the Coleman camping stove and that didn't work because we had nothing to lite it with. So he remembered learning in scouts how to cook food on your engine.(see scouts is a good thing) Since we were having hot dogs and they are cooked already you are mostly heating them up he decided to try it. He put the hot dogs in foil and put them under the hood. In the mean time I changed the baby feed her some more took the other kids to the bathroom. We were now waiting for the food. So we decide to check out a park that we saw a sign for near by. So he closed the hood and we went for a drive while cooking are food. We saw a beautiful sunset. We ended up at this neat park where you can camp. It was getting dark fast so we got out our flash lights and ate are yummy dinner right out of the engine.
