So I cracked open my first MRE this morning, the taro potato miso soup, didn't look like miso & the potato was kinda grey.BUT I persevered! the flavor was very tart, and it didn't taste at all like the miso I know. So a little disappointing, I tried to chew32 times or whatever it is but really the potato was not being chewed.
I hid the coffee maker, and all its accesorries last night so I wouldn't forget & make coffee in my haze this morning, so green tea & grey soup. Of course I'm starving by 10:30, figure that if I get really hungry I can eat the rice as a mid morning snack & then eat the root tofu thingy for lunch but am I glad I didn't do that! THe rice is fine, perfectly crunchy & cooked. The 'stir fried' burdock root with miso is ok, grey again & soybeans the beans are yummy. Eating some of the 'everyday' stuff which is really just daikon & umeboshi plums, ooo & those fellas, I don't remember them being sooooo tart, like sourpatch candies only concentrated! so eat them only with rice or something else.
Difficult chewing so long on something thats soft & grey! ewwwwww.( FYI Molly they aren't old, the packet was created 11/06- exp 11/07. ) But what did I expect from MRE style meals from Brazil...
and of course they say dont microwave the food, so I boiled it this morning & carried it in one of those Hot/Cold carriers,still in the pack. so that ain't so great , not cold but not hot, NEED it hot. so I may nuke the rest of it.
so not a joyful start but I think it will be bearable for a few days. then I will cook my own goodies.
PEACE
evening, maybe I wont put the photos on here, dont know yet. So headachey probably from no coffee, but I really don't even crave a cocktail, that surprises me, I guess I am more focused on trying to get a decent meal! the evening meal consists of about 5 oz of "VEGETABLE soup" ingredients say Pumkin, Onion & Cabbage. mmmm, needs soy sauce & salt ( uh I mean gomahio) I might soon be taking mollys advice & supplementing with some fresh veg.... and some 5 oz of brown rice with 5 ingredients, hijiki (yum) that helps my flavors carrots yam cake shitakes, what not , mostly just mushy texture, the lunch brown rice was cooked better. no midnight snack! oh my.. not really feeling like I am getting my veggies in these packs.
anywho, all I can think about is food, at least that takes my mind off the booze. kinda the same as when I did atkins I was so focused on getting it right that I didn't notice the booze although it wasn't as much of a problem then as it is now.
anyway whether I can take the MREs or not I will continue this MAcro way of eating for at least a few weeks, seems one of my issues is portions, at least they can train my eye & belly on how much to eat.
