BREAKFAST WITHOUT UTENSILS

Ingredients: 1 orange, 2 eggs, 1 packet biscuit dough mix (or 2 refrigerator
            biscuits), bacon.

1. Cut orange in half, scoop out and eat innard without breaking skin.

2. Wind several slices of bacon around end of stick and put into ground so
   they are over the fire.  Keep an eye on them and turn as required (turn so
   that they do not unwrap).

3. Prepare biscuit dought (or get out two refrigerated biscuits).  Prepare 
   long, thin tube of dough, wrap around stick (I assume sticks are not
   considered utensils), stick one end into ground so dough is over fire.
   Watch carefully and turn as necessary.

4. Break one egg into each orange skin half, and set on edge of fire.  This
   yields two poached eggs with an orange flavoring.

5. (optional) Fill paper cup to top with water.  Set into fire so it will
   not tip over.  When water boils (no, the paper doesn't burn!) remove
   with tongs, and mix in 1 packet instant oatmeal or grits.

6.  If you timed all this right, everything can be eaten together, except for
   the Orange Appetizer.

And yes, I've done this, and it's a lot of fun and easier than most dinner
menus to cook without utensils.
