Poor Man's Combos

I have not crockpotted since last winter. I've been nuking cans of soup and other things.

I could eat lentil soup every day, but I have a lot of other stuff to eat.

Yesterday was a weird one. A can of chili with a can of peas mixed in. I spiced it up with ground pepper and curry powder. I ate it with saltine crackers.

Today's meal was equally as weird, but I liked it a lot better. It was a can of beef raviolis with a can of french cut green beans. I used 1/2 teaspoon curry powder and 1 teaspoon black pepper. I just finished it and am enjoying a cup of black coffee made with my French press. Later tonight, I will have a can of pineapple slices.

Here's a cool idea I came up with. Since I don't have running water, It is difficult to clean the plastic bowls I use for microwaving. What I do now is put the bowl in the freezer. When I go to use it again, I put it in the microwave for 2 minutes, then I put the new batch of food in it to cook. I think that is clever.

I have one fork and one spoon. I wipe them off with a paper towel.

> with a paper towel...

Yeah, that sounds familiar. Saves a lot of soap and water. <G>
