	My bro-in-law spent considerable time in China for his job. He had a American educated Chinese guy who was his facilitator in business negotiations. He was a hired gun who worked for varied US business interests. He mentioned to my BIL, that one of his Chinese food vendors had invented a way to put alcohol in dried sauce mixes. Something about the alcohol being in some type of gelatin capsule that would dissolve when mixed with water. The first thing I thought of was the guy who can develop a freeze dried beer mix will become the next multi-millionaire. That was 20+ years ago and so far I've never heard anymore about it? What could be better than some home brewed beer made from your favorite Q fishing hole I sure the the ATF wouldn't like it. If they can't figure a way to tax/regulate, they have no use for it.

	As usual I'm learning tons and getting lots of tips from QJ I wouldn't of figured out on my own. 1 32oz nalgene wide mouth with the dehydrated re-fried beans DD suggested.........1 matching 32 oz nalgene with instant brown rice and 4 oz of taco seasoning to make the fish tacos pghportager suggested. I bet that combo will turn into a staple. I also picked up desserts from pack-it gourmet via Spartan 2's suggestion and picked up some freeze dried strawberries and blackberries to add (again as per Spartan 2's suggestion). They have a whopping 450 calories so I am considering making the 9 I purchased be used as a dinner instead of a dessert. Every third day I could have a late shorelunch and then use a dessert as a dinner. Quick and easy baby! I have added another week to my solo and the weight and space of my kit is really running tight. I think I like the dessert/dinner substitution idea. Starting to run out of options.

	Before it's all over I'll be thinking about soda water myself with a scoop of strawberry ice cream.........you know the kind with the real big chunks of strawberries

	Yes, we found the cheesecake from Packit Gourmet that said one serving was plenty for two of us. It would make a good meal for one person! Or if you got their carrot-raisin salad (which I also think said one serving and it was more than two of us could eat) it would be a feast! We don't work hard enough anymore to eat all of that, so we don't have dessert often anymore unless we eat partial servings. By the way, there is nothing I like better than an old-fashioned strawberry soda!

I think the time when we can actually bring beer on trips is close at hand. Every 4 or 5 months I check in on this site and they seem to be very, very close to coming on line with dehydrated beer. According to their copy this stuff is supposed to taste like quality micro brew. This will be bigger than the desk top computer, the printing press and the hula hoop!!! (at least for me it will ) (You need to *Login* or *Register* to view media files and links)

	I've taken beer. Warm is great at the take-out but it's not worth carrying in. The Jello nobake boxes can easily be quartered and enjoyed the second night on solo layovers. Now that I think about it, Boboli Pizza is reeally excellent. Peppers keep at least a week. Shrooms get iffy at some point. Pepperoni lasts forever. The cheese needs to be monitored at room temps but it's just cheese mold plus you're cooking it.

	I've heard that wrapping firm-hard cheese in a J-cloth damp with vinegar preserves it longer.

	Kerry, That made my day If it tastes half as good as the nubile young blond looks, I'll be more than happy

We just use the prepackaged, grated stuff so it's to be expected if it's not kept cool I guess. It only happened that one year though. We picked out the worst and added some cheddar.
