Last couple of days I've been trying a few things with my stored foodstuffs. Hate to wait till the last minute and THEN try to make something palatable out all that dried and canned stuff. For dinner one night I made: |

|
1/3 cup uncooked rice |
butter and oil (or butter-flavored shortening) |
chili powder |
cumin |
Raven's Brand all-purpose seasoning |
1 cup of water |
Brown 1/3 cup uncooked rice in a little butter and oil (or you could use butter-flavored shortening). Once the rice is browned, add some chili powder, cumin, some all-purpose seasononing called Raven's Brand (can only get this stuff in a little California town called Armona; I have my brother send it up to me) and a cup of water. Cover and let simmer till the water is absorbed. Turned out pretty well, tasted good, and beats just plain rice. Lots of seasonings are the key when you have pretty much just basic foods to work with. For lunch today I fried up a can of Vienna sausages and dumped a can of pork and beans in the pan when the sausages were browned. Generally don't care much for either of these foods alone, definitely not when cold, but heated together they tasted pretty good. A little Louisiana hot sauce helped, too. Great thing though about this meal is that it's fast, feeds one perfectly, and only cost about a buck. |
