Ingredients:
3 children, the younger the better, preferably ALL sick, and including at least one teething infant
2 adults, suffering from a lack of sleep due to sick children and seasoned with massive amounts of caffeine
1 dog
enough camping equipment for 18 people
a small car, with a faulty trunk lock and no air conditioning
one giant, sizzling, relentless heat wave
Method:
Do not sleep the night before, this is imperative. Cram all of the camping equipment in the car the morning of. You cannot prepare anything beforehand. Make sure you stay in bed an extra hour or two, even though you're not sleeping. It should take you less than hour to get on the road - this will ensure nothing is packed properly or secured. At the last minute, your neighbour's mother will wind up on her deathbed in Florida and you must take their unruly son with you on your camping trip. It is important to realize the old bat is dying just to ruin your trip.
Your destination must be at least 7 days' drive away from home. On the way your car should break down once on a busy highway and once in the middle of nowhere. You must forget your cell phone at home. You must stay in a motel once (it must have a vibrating bed which the children think is totally cool and will tell ALL their friends about in the fall) and the television must be broken.
You must all contract food poisoning once and poison ivy at least three times. The dog will run away in a strange city and the local law department will fine you for not having an up-to-date tag, on top of the hefty fines for breaking the dog out of the pound. The neighbour's kid will attempt to steal one of the deputy's sets of handcuffs. You will be locked in a room with the largest sherriff you've ever seen. He will lecture you for three hours.
Getting mugged is optional, but once you get to the campground you will forget to lock up the cooler and bears will eat everything. On the way home you will run out of gas, lose your wallet, hit a bird and break your windshield, and realize you've left the automatic coffee drip on at home for the past ten days. You will call your neighbour, who should be back from Florida, but the maid will answer and inform you their flight was redirected from Miami to Vegas and they have a two-week extended stayover.
By the time you get home you will have gained fourteen pounds, gone approximately five grand in the hole, and discover you forgot to suspend mail delivery. Over the next several weeks you discover that someone went through your mail and opened 27 different credit cards in your name. You are in financial ruin. Your neighbour hit the jackpot in Vegas and bought you a wall clock for your troubles. The dog got knocked up at the pound and you now have a littler of Poodle-Rottweiler pups (yours is the poodle). They are so ugly the vet recommends drowning them instantly.
Your kids are already talking about next year's trip. YAY!!!

As a personal opinion, anything way overcooked,,,but even more important would be to not serve anything UNDERcooked, unless it's vegetables or pasta.
