In the kitchen

My beautiful dahl went down hill.   It tasted great and look great but the people arrived an hour late then there was orientation so the dahl got burnt on the bottom of the thin saucepan when I was heating it up and it was definitely affected in a well burnt taste.  Also the rice is a lot harder to cook in large quantities.  Anyway my anzac biscuits won them over.    For lunches they will make their own sandwiches and take out in the field but today they came back for lunch so this morning I cut up cheese, tomato, grated carrot and cucumber and also did a greek salad.  I got on a roll then did tuna, herbs and mayo and then boiled some eggs as well.  They had sliced meats too.   Then remembered after lunch I washed a lettuce that I forgot to get out.   
The group are 10  teachers from Victoria (mixed ages).  They go out and do traps (a lot of digging) and track what kind of reptiles are in the area (and then let them go of course).   It is a research project of how many are back with the reduction of introduced species in the area (goats, foxes, ferral cats).  The leaders are from Earth Watch and Bush Heritage.  
It is a lot cooler today with cloud cover and the wind has come up again this afternoon.
