My pleasure.

Gotta feel for the troops over there. I remember days in the field when we were lucky to get a hot meal...and soup always hit the spot.

I was watching Fox News on about the 7th or 8th day of combat in Fallujah and Greg Palkott was on with a Marine Battalion. Those marines had been eating field rations for a week and had just that morning come off the line for hot chow.

Sorry, lost where I was going with that thought...just that those kids have my utmost respect and admiration; I wish there was more I could do for them. You know?

Yeah, I wish there was more I could do as well. I love cooking for crowds but I'm not sure how I could get decent food to the troops in the field.

When I was in JROTC, we had a weekend 'campout' where we had to only eat MRE's. I was soooo glad to get back to real food and that was only 2 days. A week or longer must be horrible!
