Looks no better than what Sam fed us from those green cans. I still got my P38. Don't miss that coffee.

What a lot of people don't realize is that freeze dried food takes a crap ton of water, hot water to be exact. So for example 2 1/2 cups of freeze dried chicken takes two cups of hot boiling water. It adds up.
Better have lots of purified water and a water purifier if using say pool water or rain water. plus fire of some sort. Which is why I bought lots of firewood and a solar cooker.

Has there been an uptick in prepper activity since the election? By the time I'm on that forth or fifth can of gloopanoff, I might be rethinking the good of having survived the initial invasion.

I've laid off the ammo for food, purified water, even though I have enough purification equipment to filter the swimming pool. The wife was getting annoyed, until trump lost. Oh and lots of ground espresso that's vacuum packed. And other odds and ends one could use for trading like sugar, salt, spices. Two cords of firewood.
TP, for awhile Costco ran out of toilet paper and their own paper towels.

So yes, I've noticed a few things that are spotty. I don't want to have to go raid the neighbors too soon. lol

Back to meals, the time of year is just exactly perfect for this: a bundle of those new asparagus bout as thick as a pencil, and a big handful of new little Brussels sprouts bout the size of a fat grape. Butter and soy sauce, so simple but so tasty. Over brown rice with feta cheese was the combo tonight.

I'm still adjusting to not having a gallbladder and having to learn to stop eating before full, the latter being the most difficult. Still haven't worked up the courage to have a platter of nachos, my go to football season meal.
On a sad note, Jake (my 9 yo Boxer) was diagnosed with an aggressive form of cancer in early Nov. and is terminal. We celebrated our last Thanksgiving with both of us over eating. He's doing well as he doesn't know he's sick and the disease has not as yet caused any physical debilitating or major pain. So he remains active and normal for the time being. They gave him 2-4 months and we shall make the most of it.
Today's planned lunch meal fare is Catfish Almondine (sauted in butter, salt/pepper, lemon juice & zest, slivered almonds) with sides of steamed cauliflower and broccoli. Avoiding fats is becoming quite problematic, especially butter.

I hear you about over eating, one of my favorite past times. Especially at my large meal, I'd eat more than a pound. But it took me two months of cooking the proper amount to finally fell sated after like a half pound meal. I read where it takes twenty one days to change a habit. Stay tuned.
