Camel stew?

So, the deal l is, there are camels roaming wild here in Docker. Oh…and 3 donkeys (not to mention dozens of camp dogs). The only meat in Docker is camel. Camel snags, stew and even pizza…!! So I shouldn’t really have been all that shocked to be asked to go and open up the recreation hall so that some elders could go in and debone a camel. The camel is for the community stew night (that happens every Monday night). I help out Monday nights at the recreation centre so it will be my job to organize the cooking of this hump stew. Ummmmmm….sorry but I think I have swine flu!!

My plan was simple. To hide my dislike for all things with feathers, blood, guts and any other hints of grossness from the good people of Docker. I thought maybe this would help me to get a some much needed cowboy about myself. I knew it wouldn’t be so easy when I walked into my accommodation to see Emu feathers as a centre piece on a table…’Oh….is that?????’ Yes Shan, aren’t they beautiful Emu feathers? Ummm…. YESssssss…. I said as I was hiding them in a drawer (with my eyes closed). Surprisingly I managed to do ok when I was shown a camel hump with no skin on it, breathe, then answer, that is the trick! Oh right… so you make soap with the fat? Great! (Note to self, don’t buy soap in Docker).
