My son's Blue-and-Gold Banquet for cub-scouts is this coming Saturday. For any of you who don't know what that is, it's an annual celebration of sorts where the cub-scouts and their parents (usually their fathers) get together and bring their favorite dishes, cakes, etc. and everyone shares in a big feast. Afterwards, the kids race their pinewood derby cars and there is a contest to see who made the best dish. There are different categories for the food entries. Each year, there is a different decorating theme. Their theme for the banquet this year is ocean-related, so I thought I'd bring something that would fit in with that. I mixed this up last night and have it chilling in the fridge. I'll bake it Saturday morning before we go so it will be hot and fresh. Just thought I'd share.
