27 May 2009 Makkara roasts and cookie breaks

Every Wednesday we meet for lunch at the Kierikki Stone Age Center and build a fire inside one of the Stone Age row houses.  Or, we cook outside if the weather is nice.  We roast makkara (Finnish hot dogs) on sticks over the fire.  It’s a lot of fun.

We also take "cookie breaks” halfway through every morning and every afternoon.  It’s a disaster if nobody remembered to bring them.  For adults in the modern world, we seem to be unusually concerned with where our next snack is coming from.  I guess it’s a hunter-gatherer thing.
