I was hoping they had the actual recipes, not just a book ad. Looks like some good stuff. Geron posted some last year, but now they are all lost.  |

I could post'em again if I don't make some copy right infringements. Maybe if I just posted a few that would not violate copy right and give you an idea of whether you wanted the book or not.

Thanks COB, I'd forgotten about this resource. I've used this info and made individual sized ones to use as quick meals and placed them in ziplocs.  |

I found it in my bookmarks and thought it had recipes. Well the book does anyway.

Here's the first recipe in the book. If the Admins think it's a copyright violation just delete. I am giving credit though Pasta soup 1 3/4 c. macaroni 3/4 c. lentils 3/4 c. dried chopped mushrooms 3 1/2 T. dried minced onion 2 1/2 T. Chicken bouillon granules 1 T + 1 t. Italian seasoning 1 T parsley 1 3/4 t. oregano 1/4 t. garlic powder Add-on: 1 pint cooked chicken cubes 10 1/2 c. water Directions: Remove oxygen absorber. Boil water. Add soup mix and chicken. Reduce heat and cover. simmer for 40-50 minutes until lentils are tender, stirring occasionally My experience; Use all freeze dried ingredients if you expect longer than 1 year storage. Dehydrated just wont keep as long as FD. Don't mix the powders (bouillon granules, garlic, etc) in with the other ingredients. They have a tendency to attract any moisture in the jar and clump rather quickly. Pack in a separate sealed bag of some sort, vac sealed if possible for longer storage life. There are lots of ingredients. Two people working together makes it go much faster. Gathering all the ingredients cost me, IIRC, between 200-300 dollars. It makes a LOT of food, though. I have some that are about 1 year old. I'll break them out and see how they've held up in storage.

Given the recipe and cooking directions posted by geron, this kind of thing would be very easy to prepare with "Thermos Bottle Cooking." Remember that old thread from STF?
Get a quality, vacuum bottle thermos (big enough), like a good Stanley or Thermos-brand.
Put the dry ingredients into the thermos bottle.
Boil the right amount of water and add the boiling water to the thermos bottle.
Seal the thermos bottle...plug it, cap it.
Throw it in your pack and hike with it, or leave it sit and occassionally give it a light shake.
4 hours or so later, open and eat! It will still be piping hot, and yummy, for sure!

I think that would work like a charm!!!! A few, just a few, require soaking overnight (dried beans). That would be doable in a camp situation also. |
