@born2roam-- The rice dish is patterned after this product:
http://www.campsaver.com/cherokee-ci...-rice-1-person
There is a thread around here somewhere on that dish. They do a good job of it but I am too cheap to pay them when I can do it well enough on my own for very little money.
I use a cup of minute rice, some dried fruit from a walmart dried fruit package, extra raisins since I like them, butter powder, milk powder, cinnamon, salt, and some brown sugar. All of it is done to taste, so experiment.
I pour boiling water over the mix in my bowl which is in a coozy and let it sit for 10 minutes. I have learned to cut the fruit up into fairly small pieces (dice) so they rehydrate. Thats it.
I like it sweet but you can make it more savory with other spices or ingredients all the way to something like rice pudding if you use cream. It works as a breakfast, dessert, snack, or side dish.
@raleigh-- you are right Sir! We stayed by that group of shelters.
@ GrannyPat and Bill-- I cannot think of a more worthy group to help out. It always does my heart good to see boys being taught leadership, honesty, ethics and morality, while preparing them for the future. There is not enough of that going around. I guess I am getting old enough to appreciate the importance of bringing up the next generation right.
@Fireinmybones-- Yessir! I get to talk about work some more in front of willing victims again!! I mean interested citizens...WOOT!
