MREs aren't cheap! I don't buy them but have seen the cost for the
civilian version. But they sure do serve a useful purpose. I have to eat
them when deployed at times, and the jalapeno cheese spread eaten right
out of the packet is the bomb! I'm impressed with the spiciness of them
these days. I do lean towards the vegetarian meals, but MRE Etiquette

I didn't figure that if we were growing peanuts here and selling
them to users here, the world market was relevant. I guess it is.

I just added a bay leaf :) This is a pretty simple dish and yes! makes
wonderful gravy for the mashed potatoes. My mother stopped making real
mashed potatoes some time in the 70's when instant potato flakes became
popular. I'm making the real thing tonight. There will be enough left over
for mashed potato pancakes tomorrow.

That's a retriever and doesn't apply across the board to other breeds,
and not, most especially, to terriers, who've been bred for many
generations to kill the small and the furry.
I got my JRT when he was 12 weeks old. A gorgeous little male out of
working/hunting lines. I guess that somewhere in the back of my brain I

Don't forget the finely shredded raw cabbage. Much nicer than lettuce.

OK, I deserved that...
However, I still cannot see how "cooking for more than one person" has
anything to do with how many meals a day *you* eat yourself ;-)

I keep a few cases of MRE's on hand, mainly because I like to play with my
food.

Of course... SSDI payments are computed exactly the same as SS, an
amonunt based on previous taxable earnings... and you get the same pct
increase each year... when you reach 65 the SSDI automatically
converts to SS. If $108.50 is all Kili gets for SSDI it's because she
earned very little and/or worked very little, the amount received is

I also peel and cube my potatoes before cooking, but I drizzle them with a
50/50 mixture of traditional French dressing and chicken broth while still
hot, stirring occasionally 'til cool, until all is absorbed. Really
improves the flavor of the potatoes. I think this was an old JOC trick.

Actually, I would probably like this a lot, since I love both mincemeat and
oatmeal. Grandmother's Filled Cookies, Fried Pies, Relish, and Spiced Cake
sound good too. I love old-fashioned recipes, but then you already knew
that. :-)

That sounds really interesting, Jean, and definitely nothing at all like
the stuffed cabbage I usually make. I'll have to give this a try.
Thanks for posting!

He is fat, but I don't relate that directly to the pasta, as he doesn't eat
a lot of it. He simply overeats, no matter the food. :-) Apart from
excess weight, in other respects he's very healthy.
