[pct-l] Power Crunch in Calif.

[Montedodge@aol.com (Montedodge@aol.com)]

Of course only hikers NOT in the state of California will be able to read 
this post. With all the black outs, it would be a good time to practice your 
outdoor cooking skills. Favorite PCT dinner for an Alcohol stove::: Boil 3 
cups water and throw in 1 bag of " Boil in Bag" minute rice. Remove rice 
after 5 minutes and set aside. You will now have only 1 cup of water left in 
pot as rice sucked up 2 cups worth. Add 1 package of " McCormick's " Country 
Gravy mix and stir in boil water about 1 minute.  Add one can of chicken to 
gravy. ( This can be dehydrated  at home in less than 2 hours along with 
mushrooms) Now open rice bag ,dump in and stir. Beats Corn Pasta in taste 
test world wide! Less than 10 minutes to make from start to finish. ( Feeds 
two hikers, or one staving thru-hiker. Tip of the day for my Calif. friends::
