The little green pill is actually a packet of chiclets.

I swear the sole purpose of the chiclets is so you don't have a track full of troopies with dragon breath having a meeting.

My experience tells me that clean breath cannot cover up a week or more of BO.

But I reckon that is what gag bags are REALLY for. LOL

My dad (RIP) was in the Army in the late '50s and he said the powdered eggs were the grossest thing ever on base. I wonder what he would have thought of MREs? Didn't those used to be called "Meals Rejected by Ethiopians?"

As to the camping, fugeddaboutit! I used to camp when I was involved with SCA and didn't really like it.

There was a surplus store in the neighborhood and I would always go in to buy camping stuff when I needed it.

I came across a can of Date Nut Bread from a package of old C-rations, I picked one up as a joke and brought it home. (The can had a date on it-not an "Eat By" date....A date on when it was made......by the time I saw it? It was a FEW years old....)

After a few days of laughing and joking about it, I put the can opener to it and shared it out.

It was still good, very sweet and greasy. You could have put those out at some of the meeting I used to go to and that would have perked everyone up and kept them going for a few hours!

------------

One spectaular thing about the new stuff is the stories of creativity - making 'gourmet' dishes out of different components - that some people talk about.

Smores for everyone!

DONE!

Don't get me started....

I am feeling good today.

I saw my brother, sister and a niece and two nephews. It made my heart feel good.

Beenie Weenie?

I bought a can of pork and beans a while back....

I opened it up and saw a white glob of something fall out of the can...

I wrinkled my nose and grabbed a fork to dig it out.

Much to my surprise?

It was a piece of pork.....

I hadn't seen PORK in P&B's in long, long time.

Where do powdered eggs come from??
