What was for dinner?

[kurtak]

Wow dinner and desert on the same plate. I only got away with that when I was single!

I have to laugh --- about 15 -16 years ago my brother & I were working at a cheese factory in Vermont to up grade their automation systems that ran their production lines so we ate out at restaurants for most all our meals

When he would order his meal (lunch or dinner) he would order it with pie & then tell the server to bring him the pie "while waiting" for the actual meal to come - so he always had is desert "before the meal - & then he would have another piece of pie after the meal

It was always funny watching the servers reaction when they did a double take stopping to ask - "you want your pie now/first"

turbodog:
1. wrap a hotdog in paper towel, microwave 30s. Meanwhile, get a bun.
2. take hotdog out of paper towel and put in bun; put paper towel outside bun for to steam bread with the leaky hotdog juices
3. nuke for 10 more seconds
4. eat over trashcan = no dirty dish!

Blue box mac and cheese in microwave, no drain:
1. 1.75c water and noodles in a bowl. Nuke for 11 minutes, stir after a couple minutes to break up chunks a bit, and again a few minutes before done.
2. If too much water left, you might have to drain and adjust for next time.
3. add stuff for to make the sauce as instructed on the box (usually .25c milk, 4tbsp butter, and the yellow powder)

The closest I can come to @BShan cooking is what I typically eat in the woods or out ice fishing. That is whatever can be easily prepared by adding boiling water. My source of boiling water while out on the ice is a kelly kettle, just grab a pocket full of dry twigs and add water and even the winds off the lake won't blow it out. So hot water plus either dehydrated backpacking meals or Ramen noodles and it's a meal. And of course hot tea!

I have been looking for one of these but didn't know what they were called. Thanks.

They are great for boiling water in the wind and cold. Never seem to have issue finding dry kindling in the winter or the summer. This is the website for a US supplier, I got mine many years back while in Ireland. They also have small wood fired stoves to work with the kettle but I just use it to get hot drinks and dehydrated meals into my belly. I have used it backpacking to boil water when the waterways have beaver populations and I want to avoid guiardia.
