But if you introduce it as cooking, that's a whole different ball game. Besides, baking is a little bit impractical while camping compared to, idk, cooking eggs over an open fire?
I'm not really against the STEM push in Girl Scouts I guess, I'm indifferent to it. Maybe it'll get a few more women interested in the field which is cool.
- humanrebar 9y ago> baking is a little bit impractical while camping You can bake lots of stuff with a campfire and a dutch oven.
- greglindahl 9y agoNot to mention roasting potatoes, corn, or even eggs in the coals of a fire, which is a close relative to using a dutch oven.
- muninn_ 9y agoSure let me pack icing, maybe some cupcake molds, and a pie dish too? It's impractical.
- greglindahl 9y agoLet's see: * There's a brand of dutch oven endorsed by the Boy Scouts of America * Scouting magazine has printed many articles with recipes for dutch ovens https://scoutingmagazine.org/category/outdoors/cooking/dutch-ovens/ https://scoutingmagazine.org/category/outdoors/cooking/dutch... * Boy's Life magazine runs articles about cooking in a dutch oven
- muninn_ 9y agoSure ok. Clearly when we think of "having boys bake" we're talking about Dutch ovens and not baking cookies. Yup.
- greglindahl 9y agoI was only addressing baking while camping. As a man, I also bake while I'm not camping, like many other men.
- muninn_ 9y agoRight but you are doing so in an disingenuous way. I like baking too. Referring to "girls baking" implies cupcakes, cookies, frosting, and cakes. All of which are impractical while camping.
- greglindahl 9y agoI'm not being disengenuous at all, and I don't imply that when I say "girls baking".
- muninn_ 9y agoYa you do. Otherwise nobody would have been talking about it. The cultural norm when somebody mentions baking in this context and "boys doing it" revolves around things like cupcakes and cookies and what not. It's obvious. It's not a point of contention to anybody here except you, for reasons unknown to me.
