“I’ll take the responsibility for lunches and the main meal at night. With the training you girls have had in cooking, I think you’re capable of assuming the planning and preparation of breakfast.”
“When do we start?” Connie asked.
“In the morning. I’ll appoint the committee now. Veve is in charge and must do the planning. Her assistants are Jane and Eileen. Remember girls, breakfast at eight o’clock sharp.”
“But what will we have?” Veve asked in panic.
“That’s entirely up to you,” smiled Miss Gordon. “You’ll find bacon, eggs and oatmeal in the supply box.”
“And what about the fire?” Jane inquired uneasily.
“I’ll start it, and after that you must keep it going. I suggest you gather a good supply of fuel before you go to bed tonight.”
Veve, Jane and Eileen were somewhat troubled by their appointment as cooks. After the dishes had been done, they gathered in a group to plan.
“Let’s have something easy like boiled eggs,” suggested Eileen.
Veve promptly overruled her. “No, we’re going to have a good breakfast, so all the girls will say we’re the best cooks in camp!” she insisted. “We’ll have scrambled eggs, bacon and oatmeal and maybe toast.”
