I was given the red and white plaid Better Homes and Garden cookbook. I still use it as a reference occasionally - although it's falling apart.

Thanks for the advice!

My sister had a genius idea to smuggle 7-11 nachos into a theater. She made the nachos and decided to also get sodas. Not somewhat inconspicuous bottles of soda, mind you. No, she filled up two big gulps of Diet Coke. I emptied out my book bag to hold the sodas and she fit the nachos into her purse. Every step I took you could hear the ice sloshing around, and to my horror, it had leaked and was leaving a nice little trail throughout the theater. They either didn't notice or thought it was too absurd to bother with.

I second the comments of @simon. Lasts forever. I keep it in little glass jars with a screw top lid.

Fresh ground black pepper and kosher salt then after it grills I brush on a bit of melted garlic butter.

Isn't this the recipe that Anthony Bourdain used which utterly unimpressed his Tuscan dinner guests? Just wondering.

I usually have at least six different kinds too, but I wouldn't call it a problem.

Warning labels on processed meats. Genius! That'll stop people from eating them. Maybe it will work as well as warning labels on packs of cigarettes. Yeah, don't think so.

Hot lemonade with a teaspoon of honey works wonders on a sore throat. Ginger and peppermint are both very good for nausea. I swear kimchi chigae (soup) has healing properties. I rarely had colds when I lived in Korea, and it really helped clean out the sinuses.

I ruined my rubber spatula by setting it on the stove and somehow knocking it into the flame. It was truly on fire!
However, my biggest problem is rearranging the freezer and forgetting about the food I set on top of the fridge.
Oh, one time I attempted to microwave some popcorn and hit an extra 5, so it was set to cook for 20:55. I went down to fold some laundry and ran up when the smoke detector rang out. It had cooked over 6 minutes. I thought I ruined the microwave, but vinegar took out the stains and smell.

That is a beautiful thing.

Dehydrated soups are easy to take. Bear Creek makes very tasty ones. You can also pack bags of dried beans and onions and bring packets of spices. Dehydrated fruits and also nuts are good to have on hand. You'll want to take some oil. You could also take a few bags of flour and make tortillas or pastas or breads (if you take a leavening ingredient). I'm assuming you have a dutch oven or skillet you'll be taking. Sounds like you're ready for an adventure. Have a great time!

My favorite way is to simply blanch them, refrigerate and eat them with some yummy dip. You can also fry them up with garlic and zucchini (cook the zucchini until it's really soft) and serve with shredded parmesan or romano cheese.
