A Cooking Compo



G'day y'all

My father has just finished scanning some photo's of my groups five
dollar meal into his computer and told me to send this out to ask who
wants these copies photo's since it will take about half an hour to
download them.
To those of you who don't have a clue what I'm talking about I'll
explain, for one of the recent youth group events we had to make a meal
for one person spending only five dollars. I ended up in a group with
Ryan and Drew(already you can see that something..."interesting" is
going to happen)and Daniel, Gavin, and Michelle. We went off to
Pak'n'save Papanui with absolutely no plan about what we were going to
buy, and so we troop in there with about a trolley per person to carry
five dollars worth of stuff(chaotic already, eh). We start in the
vegetable area where we decide to plan our meal. Our plan ended up of
mainly consisting of whatever looked cheap we would buy along with some
chocalate pudding. We purchased a lettuce, a piece of corn, a Ernest
Adams Shepherds pie, a bag of instant pudding, a packet of jelly, and a
couple of batteries as seasoning(you read correctly b-a-t-t-e-r-i-e-s).
With about one item per cart we reach the checkout to some very strange
looks. On arriving home we proceded to discuss our method of serving our
unusual meal the group democratically decided on the each method(one
person made a suggestion everyone accepted it, the end(there was a
distinct lack of oxygen in that room that night)). We did things to food
which my mother never wants to see again. Have you ever seen a lettuce
baked in an oven until it looks two weeks old and then smeared with
chocalate pudding, corn fried in butter, a cold Shepherds pie covered in
jelly, jelly served as a drink, and a rubber and batteries served as
appetisers. The piece-de-resistance was Drew's infamous
"I-can't-believe-its-not-mashed-potatoes", Drew went into the bathroom
and came back with an UNUSED roll of perfumed toilet paper which he
proceded to unroll and place in a bowl he then added water and milk and
began to mash it after it was thoroughly mashed we added yellow food dye
and half to a cup of salt(according to rumour the perfume was still able
to be tasted through all that salt). That is the meal we ended up
serving to Grant and Hamish it certainly was..."interesting" to watch
their expressions as they first ate the jelly-covered pie(which up to
then people thought was a dessert pie), the lettuce(which looked more
like cabbage by this stage), the corn(whose powerful aroma was drifting
through the whole room), and the
"I-can't-believe-its-not-mashed-potatoes"(their expressions though they
expected something was up gave them away when they took their first bite
of it; they were doing all they could to swallow it). All in all I think
it was a great evening but unfortunately we did not have a camera at the
judging to take photo's of their expressions.
Anyway there is the story if anyone wants the copies of the photos email
back to me and I will send them out to you.

God bless you,
Jared
