Leadership in the wilderness

Here are the top 10 comments overheard during the student-athletes' self-guided meal preparation at Fort Wilderness:

10. What do you mean we are going to cook?

9. It's OK, salad dressing is supposed to have Tabasco sauce in it.

8. You're putting that Tabasco sauce in there over my dead body.

7. So that's how you make whipped cream. I never knew you had to whip it for so long. Hey, anybody else want a turn?

6. I never knew you were such a great cook!

5. Did anybody see me drop that head of lettuce? Should I wash it off with iced tea?

4. Have we mentioned how glad we are that you want to be a chef someday?

3. The strawberries must be just right before you can put them on the cake.

We are not amateurs!

2. Hmmm. What do you suppose the eggs are for? Let's have scrambled eggs with our pasta.

1. This is the best meal I've ever eaten!
