I finally took the plunge and drank a small glass of whey milk. It's not terrible and in a pinch I'd probably drink it, but it's not the milk I'm used to drinking. I figure if I'm going to suffer through the bucket of food, then I shouldn't have to suffer through fake milk. It's hard to describe whey milk. It's somewhat sweet and has a very distinct smell. I think it might be ok in cereal but on its on, I'll pass. A million times pass. I'll go ahead and keep the extra whey milk, but I don't plan on drinking it as part of this continued adventure.
Tonight I settled on potato bakon soup. It's my favorite meal from the pack and I added some broccoli, croutons, and cheddar cheese. It tastes pretty good when it's all tarted up like that. The added food does a nice job of bolstering my calorie and nutritional needs for the day. I really should just call this experiment, the soup experiment since that's my primary source of nourishment.
For breakfast I had a nice big bowl of oatmeal. Honestly, it surprises me that this survival pack doesn't include oatmeal as one of the meals. It's cheap and nutritional. It also cooks in under a minute. I would recommend oatmeal as part of any camping list or survival kit. Since I'm kind of strange (or haven't you noticed?) I like to add a dash of hot sauce to my oatmeal. Oatmeal is rather bland by itself and hot sauce varies the dish. I'm really trying to eat breakfast on a more regular basis. It's simply healthier for me and there's no excuse to ignore the most important meal of the day simply because I'm lazy.
Hot sauce?? Blech! What about some dried cranberries and almonds??
ReplyDeleteI don't have those things! Well, I do have some frozen strawberries. That might be tasty.
ReplyDeleteOh, one time I added cheese to the oatmeal.
I have oatmeal most days for breakfast. You should just add cinnamon! It's tasty and has many health benefits. And, like the oatmeal itself, is cheap and lasts forever.
