cheap camping kitchen tables image
Rochelle
After Sandy, I'm getting more serious about emergency equipment. What is your favorite, (and safest) camp stove or burner? And, where do I get it?
Thanks for any help.
Answer
I have a couple of one-burner ones that run on cans of butane, cans about the size of the average aerosol can. They're not particularly compact, but they are easy to operate, cheap to buy, big enough to sit an average saucepan or frypan on, and easy to store the fuel for. I don't remember the make, but they seem to be sold almost everywhere camping stuff is sold, and so are the cans of fuel. A can of the fuel seems to last for about 4 hours of average cooking. They come in a black plastic carrying case. Mine haven't had a lot of use but I've had one of them for at least 10 years and it's still working fine. This kind: http://www.amazon.com/Portable-Butane-Stove-Camping-Burner/dp/B000RA8V1S
You'll want to be sure you have some kind of non-combustible surface to use it on, though I have used mine on picnic tables with no problem. A baking sheet turned upside down would work well, if you plan to use it on a countertop or on a kitchen table, or use one over your stove burners to give a level surface for the camp stove.
My next choice would be a two-burner Coleman stove.

How do I babysit a 6 year old?
Addison
I have to babysit my boyfriend's little sister tomorrow while his parents are at a funeral, and he's at camp. I have never really babysat one on one before, and I rarely am around kids. How do I babysit a 6 year old girl? Her name is Ashley, and normally she is really hyper. Can someone please give me some tips? Best answer gets 10 points... thank you!
Answer
6 year olds are a great age to babysit. They're old enough to communicate with, and young enough to be simple to entertain.
If you want to be "super fun" you can set her up to paint at your kitchen table with finger paints or brushes and poster paint. Put down newspaper, provide 2 or 3 colors of paint on paper plates, stick her in one of your old shirts and let her go nuts on the paper. Kids totally LOVE painting but it's such a big production that their parents don't usually set it up at home, although it's no big deal for a one time thing if you're sitting.
Playdoh and cookie cutters are also really popular and cheap, or you can bake cookies together.
Since you say she's usually hyper anything that keeps her and her hands busy is a good bet. If you try a DvD I could see her getting bored and wandering around looking for other things to keep her busy and getting into trouble.
You can also take her to the park- swings and slides never miss, and if she runs around and plays till she's tired she's more likely to be content with coloring or watching tv till the end of you time together.
