You should pull some strings and get DOD to let RMD design new MRE's.Huh?
To: RMDupree; RosieCotton; All
Good Morning! I still can't get over the fact that we
have a sideboard in the Hobbit Hole, let alone all the marvelous food!! We are truly blessed.
I just wanted to cheer you all by providing a Minnesota weather update: Today's forecast, high of 42 with rain and light snow showers. It was 26 this morning at wake up. Feels great! We're catching up with you Rosie! The leaves are falling quickly....
I submit a picture of my cats (Max & Tully) as a placemarker for myself, won't be very active in the Hole for a while, so I will need some landmarks!
(Sorry! I still need to figure out how to size them better. If this pic slows the thread down too much, will someone (preferably a dwarf) please spam it quickly to get the precious and get off of this page? Thanks!) See you all later!

I LOVE those oatmeal cookies!! But I am sure that lembas doesn't give you a stomach ache if you eat more then one or two! :)
To: ksen
I have a spoiled hubby! :)
You should see his face on my "too tired to cook" days when I tell him it's mac-n-cheese or soup-and-sandwich night.
There's over 3/4 of the pan left of the lasagne I made last night only hubby and I ate), so I had to freeze the rest. Good thing though, I don't have to cook tonight! :)

Huh?MRE's are "Meals Ready to Eat". It is the food eaten by our troops when they go out into the field. It is pre-packaged "food".
Back when I was in the Army they were starting to get better meals. Chicken Ala King was pretty good, had to be careful for bones though. Everyone's favorite dessert was the chocolate chip brownie.

I see! It would be an honor and a pleasure for me to be able to cook for our troops.
Hmmmmm.....how do you pre-package roast porkloin (extra fat included to throw at any al-Qaeda) and mushrooms? :)
To: RMDupree
One of the things that convinced that Little Debbie Oatmeal cakes was lembas was the way they held up when some other kid on the bus sat on my lunch bag - even squashed in it's leaf (ie: plasic bag), it was still edible! Also, if bag lunch containing 'lembas' was forgotten in my desk over the weekend, by Monday, the tuna sandwich and vegetable sticks were wilted and stinking but my lembas kept it's flavor!
(It didn't take much to convince me back then!)

MRE's are "Meals Ready to Eat". I actually prefer the old C-rats... You ever have the omelette?....what they do to eggs is just unholy... still, I ate 'em all the time, cuz that's about all my Marines left me...that and the pork patty...in SWA, they told us not to eat the chicken a la king cuz they were contaminated... man, I was in heaven eatin all the CAK's that everyone was throwin' away...crumble your crackers into eat...cheese spread too if yuh got it, and tabasco...lots of tobasco...
They've gone overboard on the sugar/candy/carbs in the latest versions, to appeal to the taste of the over-sugared youth...ain't enuff real food or meat in 'em anymore for me...don't get me wrong...MREs are great if you're in the field and starvin', but they'll never even come close to "home cookin'"...
I'd love to eat chow that RMD cooks up, but I gotta feeling that the MREin' process would make it taste like soggy cardboard...
To: ksen
*note to self - Do NOT click on links provided by g'nad* yeah... but you know you always will...
To: RMDupree
My wife makes something similar with tortilla chips and calls it "Breakfast Nachos".
*salivating*
To: Overtaxed
I picture it as having some Museli flakes in it somewhere as well.
To: rightwingreligiousfanatic
open the image in MS Paint. Click "Image" > "resize" then reduce accordingly.
To: ItsOurTimeNow
I'll have to look up the description again. What's in Museli anyway?
To: Overtaxed
Upscale granola. ;-) Sort of.
To: Overtaxed
So...oats and fruits and seeds and such.
To: Overtaxed
Sticks, small rocks, leaves, and oats. LOL
To: ItsOurTimeNow
That sounds delicious!
Tell her she should come to the entmoot, so I can pry her for the recipe! *wink*
