Outing food

The local staff had already shown us before that they really know how to enjoy team outings. But somehow they did surprise us again yesterday, when we went for our last team outing of the year. One thing that has become clear is the importance of food during an outing, especially the meat. Without meat, no outing! Instead of ready-made food, everything was being prepared freshly on the spot. And the amount of meat, vegetables and fruit was really no joke! To be sure that everyone would have full bellies during the whole day, there were enough ingredients for both breakfast (sheep) and lunch (chicken). In practise, this meant that the majority of the time people were cutting, stirring or supervising the cooking process. In the meantime people enjoyed themselves with card games, dancing, chatting and sleeping. Recreation at a maximum level, I would say! After having eaten all the food (-according to many people, the highlight of the day were Frank's freshly baked chips from the charcoal fire! -), it was time to say goodbye. We will surely miss these outings with the friendly staff, when leaving Kosti. But this was definitely a memorable concluding one, to be remembered by both our minds and our bellies!
