Food ideas?

This is my suggestion. Anyone else?

Friday night = Chili with beans and meat, canned veggies, canned fruit
Saturday morning = Spam and Eggs, bread
Saturday noon = field rations of your choice
Saturday night = Spaghetti and meatballs, canned veggies, canned fruit, bread
Sunday Morning = Spam and eggs, bread
Sunday noon = field rations of your choice

Sounds OK to me, but can we have home made spaghetti for a change. I can ask the Wife to pre make the sauce and boil the noodles there. Oh and don't forget the garlic bread and vino.

If I can make it what should I bring from the fine establishment Le Commissary?

Ok Fernie has volunteered to bring a homemade Spaghetti for everyone in the unit. Everyone else bring:

1 can of Spam (Lite if possible)
6 eggs
1 large can of canned fruit
2 cans of veggies (green beans, corn, or carrots)
1 can of chili with beans and meat (Cattle Drive or Stagg, or the like)
Bring whatever you want to eat in the field as individual rations.

**I need a volunteer to bring two loaves of french bread**

I have pots, pans, and two stoves to use. If you want to sleep out of the cold, plan on helping put up and or take down the tent. If you want to eat, plan on being called upon to do KP for at least one meal (cleaning the pots, pans and stove). Everyone will be responsible for cleaning thie own mess kit. Bring plenty of water, and anything else you want to drink. Non-period items will not be allowed outside of the tent please.

I got's the bread y'all and don't forget your GI messkit cuz i won't be serving pasta on a shingle.

That's a lot of eggs

Yeah that is... maybe we should get a spare footlocker for food. Because I know I bought just for Roberts and between that and the Mojave and still had extra I had to toss when I deployed...

6 eggs = e ach for sat and sun breakfast. Ok, make it 4 eggs each if you wish.
