Just add hot water to the Mylar bag after removing the oxygen-absorbing packet. Wait a few minutes and eat. No prep no dishes. Perfect for a bachelor living in the woods without refrigeration. 20-year shelf life.<\/p>\n<p>Only con a bit pricey $12.00 per meal, if you buy a sampler bucket from Costco, but that is delivered to my post office. You can choose your own meals from Amazon but the price jumps to 14 dollars per meal.<\/p>\n<p>So far the meals are excellent, even the scrambled eggs and bacon, my least favourite of the meals, only because the portions were small. I am a little spoiled, I used to raise my own chickens. Some things are just better fresh.<\/p>\n<p>Especially if you know what has been added or not.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/rodbinder.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2020\/01\/wp-1579912449248393842894-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"6299\" data-permalink=\"http:\/\/rodbinder.com\/journal\/2020\/01\/24\/jan-24\/wp-1579912449248393842894\/\" data-orig-file=\"http:\/\/rodbinder.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2020\/01\/wp-1579912449248393842894-scaled.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"2560,1440\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"wp-1579912449248393842894.jpg\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"http:\/\/rodbinder.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2020\/01\/wp-1579912449248393842894-300x169.jpg\" data-large-file=\"http:\/\/rodbinder.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2020\/01\/wp-1579912449248393842894-1024x576.jpg\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-6299 size-large\" style=\"border: 6px solid #000000;\" src=\"http:\/\/rodbinder.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2020\/01\/wp-1579912449248393842894-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"680\" height=\"383\" srcset=\"http:\/\/rodbinder.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2020\/01\/wp-1579912449248393842894-1024x576.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/rodbinder.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2020\/01\/wp-1579912449248393842894-300x169.jpg 300w, http:\/\/rodbinder.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2020\/01\/wp-1579912449248393842894-768x432.jpg 768w, http:\/\/rodbinder.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2020\/01\/wp-1579912449248393842894-1536x864.jpg 1536w, http:\/\/rodbinder.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2020\/01\/wp-1579912449248393842894-2048x1152.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"youtube-responsive-container\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/gY5rztWa1TM\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; &#8220;Only the mediocre are always at their best.&#8221; Jean Giraudoux I am staring at a flashing cursor and a blank screen.
