You can also pan fry the drained noodles.”

“Butter Buds are at any grocery store.

Almost any recipe from "Lipsmackin Backpackin" is good, but I won't try the yellow worms recipe. That's essentially ramen, lemon lime gatorade mix, and whatever as a binder.”

Bring to Boil and simmer for 30 minutes. Serve over steamed rice.”

“By the way, if anyone, like me, doesn't mind the cooking time, I usually just boil water for regular rice, cover the pot, wrap it in a fleece and stick it in my sleeping bag for 25 mins or so. Comes out fine. I find that I like it a lot better than minute rice.”

“We tried this on our family BP over the 4th weekend in the Bighorns.

Get a box of no-bake cheesecake mix. Substitute powdered milk. We brought some margerine in a refillable squeeze tube instead of butter. Just follow the recipie on the box, where it says put it in the fridge, we just put it inside our tent to set up - bout 30 minutes later we feasted - it was EPIC!”

“Where the heck is somebody to find a pound of hiker's brain?”

“Just look along cliffside trails, you'll find one or more stupid tourists down there. Hopefully they're still fresh.”

“Twinkles, if you like pesto sauce and tortellini I will bring a tube of Pesto. the tubes are too big for one serving I was going to make it for Friday night. This way you will only have to carry the noodles.”

“a tube? funny you should mention pesto -was thinking of dehydrating some tonight for a meal this weekend”

“Yeah the grocery store has it in a tube. They also have tomato sauce and anchovie paste. I was going to bring it and a bag of tortellini for dinner on Friday. Maybe with a Garlic roll or two.
What else are you planning food wise for this weekend?”

“I'm going shopping tonight - if I can find everything this is what I've thought of so far:

Spicy Tuna Rice
Mashed Potatos w/h Beef & Gravy
Sloppy Joes
Chicken & Dumplings

Dehydrated fruit
Oatmeal
PB & J's
Granola/breakfast bars
Beef jerky

A dessert or two for the group...

Now I'm thinking up snack ideas (I'm thinking the luxury item, if I can, will be pringles potato chips)

I don't really know - I get so hungry on the trail - I think on this trip I will be using the stove to also cook lunches....”
