Camping food
Can you have too much of a good thing? Of course you can. The real question is how long it takes you to figure that out in life. Again, most of us learn it at an early age. I have a fun memory that involves food, well sort of. Due to my summer job, I ended up with a lot of food which was considered good for camping. In particular; marshmallows. I know it is just sugar in a lump but when you are very young, the idea makes sense. I ended up getting a full case of marshmallows leftover after a summer beach party. Not wanting to waste anything at that age I had my friends pack the carton of marshmallows in plastic bags into the trunk of the car before we set off on a road trip. No lie: we did eat some marshmallows but there comes a point where the sweetness goes beyond the texture. However, we were at a camping site and there was an old but very friendly black lab that came along. He wanted to join us for whatever we were having because that’s how dogs think of humans. Just to be clear this was not the only food we had on the camping trip. We also had canned meat. We also had bags of bread, which my friends used to call condensed cloud. Overall, an unbalanced diet. Although, the dog would have loved to share our canned meat, we did not oblige. After all even camping requires some nutrition and as you can see, I did check later in the weekend and the dog seemed to be in good health. No thanks to the food supply from the university. This was a long time ago. I have stopped feeding marshmallows to dogs. As for canned meat, that is a serious budget lime item.
