  • Aby's Outdoor Cookbook
    Aby’s Outdoor Cookbook Introduction This cookbook is not a part of the Boy Scouts of America program nor do the Boy Scouts of America sanction this book. No representation of such sanctioning is requested, made or implied. The book is the result of more than fifty years experience living outdoors, cooking to please the cook and enjoying the experience. The author made no attempt to calculate calories, nutritional values or cholesterol. He is past seventy years of age and weighs fifteen pounds more than he did at high school graduation. His career path has been varied and perhaps checkered. Whether he was roustabouting in oilfields or managing a major computing center, he has maintained an active and mobile life style, believing hard work (physically hard work) is its own reward. He has failed to diligently follow his belief that “moderation in all things” is the real secret to success, health and abundant living. This tome is intended to provide Scout leaders with background material for cooking outdoors and engaging youth in the joys of this activity. If you are a really good outdoor cook, you will stand out in a crowd. And don’t let anyone tell you it is just the smell of garlic on your hands! At seventy-plus, the author can still identify one hundred fifty birds by sight, forty by flight pattern and fifty by song. He knows more than sixty species of trees by leaf, bark and fruit. He can paddle a canoe, row a boat, carry a pack, sleep on the ground and survive.

History Unilever was officially formed in 1929 by the merger of a margarine Dutch company and a British soapmaker. The margarine company of Netherlands was also a merger between the first margarine factory called in the world and another factory of the same product and from the same city, Oss, in the Netherlands. The soapmaker company revolutionized the market because it helped to a more hygienic society and the manufacturing of the product was wrapped. The name of the company is a fusion between the Dutch firm called Margarine Unie and the British firm called Lever Brothers. What Unilever did, was to expand its market locations to the American Latin and Africa. Moreover they widened the product areas to new sectors such as particular food and chemical products.
