Thank you. Unfortunately, she was admitted into the hospital with double pneumonia caused by the chemo, been there all week, but should be coming home tomorrow, weak as a kitten and on oxygen, probably, but she's a fighter.

A nice welcome home meal right there. :)
Thanks for sharing this in depth look at these foods! It is really appreciated! |

You are very welcome. This DID kind of get a little more in depth than I had planned, but the way it started is REALLY funny. See, I have this stupid little phone browser game, Lumber Inc., that I kill time with once in a while, and they throw ads up every so often, of course. Usually I ignore them, BUT, one from My Patriot Supply caught my eye and I saw the Black Bean Burger mix, which my wife wanted to try...and down the rabbit hole I went! Yes, I actually bought something from a browser game advertisement. I AM that guy! On the other hand, this has been informative and fun. And I have a second pantry, now!
Two pieces of good news - she went off the O2 on her own, and is showing O2 sats of 94 or higher. She is tough as nails, and as beautiful as the dawn to me. Oh, yeah, the other one - delivery truck dropped off another box from My Patriot Supply...I have something interesting in mind. |

The dehydrated broccoli, corn and peas are nice to add to your rice staple.
They even have dehydrated whole eggs so you can make a real stir fry. |

I ordered quite a few of the Ready Hour/MPS 72 hour kits shown here over several orders before they triple in price (pre-covid).
One time they must have messed up on the order table and slapped my shipping label on a CASE of six of the six pouches of ground beef they were selling at the time (don’t see it today on their site). I contacted them and they apologized profusely, told me to keep the ground beef and offered to ship the correct product. I was a bit gobsmacked that they sent me several hundred dollars worth of product by mistake and were willing to send out my six 72 hour kits at no additional charge. I politely declined and ordered/paid for the additional 72 hour kits at the $10 promo price. The beef is still sitting in my emergency kit area. Also, their Franklin’s Finest instant coffee isn’t bad in a pinch. I’ve since moved on to a medium sized Harvest Right freeze dryer. You can fit about 4.5 Costco rotisserie chickens in that machine. Best deal running. |

I have the broccoli, and, just like the green beans, when they are properly rehydrated, I can't tell the difference from fresh. They are that good.
I did get a can of the whole egg powder, but that's sitting for another time for right now. Haven't gotten the corn yet, might do that this month. Nice sweet deal on the beef, good score! I only get the regular sales, but it is kind of nice to have. I am going to get more of the veggies, and more of the fruits - only thing of those I have tried is the strawberries. Made a strawberry daiquiri with those. Over all I am very satisfied with the products, just many of them are low on seasonings/spices, which is where Kinders The Blend comes in, sea salt, black pepper and garlic mixed - I like being lazy once in a while. My wife was reading off the can of butter powder about all the things it can be used in/on, and was getting somewhat excited to try it. But first...I have a plan. Again, this is a lot of fun, too. That Franklin's Best coffee is black as sin and bitter as Hillary after the 2016 election! However, it WILL keep you going for quite a while! |

I've seen these types of meals. That's the huge difference between the Ready Hour stuff and the camping/bug out meals like that Beyond Meals pack. Those are designed to be cooked in the bag with nothing but hot water, and I reviewed a few back a few pages. They also tend to be quite expensive, usually $9 to $15 for a single meal.
The Ready Hour food items area emergency food, as in the grocery store is empty, or the paycheck got spent on major car repairs, etc. These food items GENERALLY require a kitchen, though MPS did just come out with an interesting oven that runs off any burnable stuff. If I had the disposable cash right now, I might try one. Thank you for the link, much appreciated. |

Thanks for the updates, Glad the wife is doing ok!

Thank you, had positive doc appointments today!

I'm baaaaaaack...not with Ready Hour, but another famous freeze dried fan favorite, since I discovered WinCo, the only grocery store I've found with options like these. They have several Augason offerings - this is what I snagged today. Maybe I'll have pancakes for dinner. In any case, hopefully you might be interested in these items as well, and WinCo ROCKS!

Thanks again for sharing these first hand encounters with prep food!

Always a awesome review. How would the butter taste as just a spreadable on bread or something similar?
|
|
|
I don't know, but I will try it when I can.
|
|
|
I've been thinking about this exact scenario lately... interesting results.
ETA: I am assuming since fats wont dehydrate, hence they aren't in the dried/powdered stuffs... that is the reason the 'cheese' was clumping. I wonder if ghee would be a substitute. |

I don't know - I am not familiar with ghee. Something that occurred to me later was mixing the wet/dry ingredients in a separate bowl, then transferring the mix to the pasta. Might help, might not.
Still gotta try it as regular butter. You can mix it into butter but anything unused has to be refrigerated. So it might be much handier than actual butter in that you mix only what is needed right here and now, nothing wasted. |
|
|
Another bump/shout out for a great thread. Appreciate it OP! Hope your wife kicks cancers ass!
ETA: Ghee is clarified butter. You can find it at Indian (dot) store. Hell I think Trader Joes might even have it. |

I looked it up - even Fry's has some, will snag a bottle on my weekend, and thank you, it's fun doing it.
Edit to add - we had her first checkup after all the treatments were completed, and everything looks great, thank you! |

Thank you for your continued, honest reviews of these products. Merry Christmas!

America is a Constitutional Republic, not a democracy. Democracy supports universal equality. A Constitutional Republic supports individual liberty. There is a huge difference.

Hell yeah, glad for the review. Walmart has the stuff on sale so I'm gonna get a couple packages of the stuff now.

This post is awesome

I use ghee a lot for cooking and sauteing. Works fine as a spread, too. Basically, use it for whatever you would use regular butter for.

Oh, this is odd. Probably nothing special over Quik, or similar products. 3.5 gallons of chocolate milk for $28 at WinCo. My boy loves chocolate milk, we'll see how this tastes. 20 year shelf life. Attached File

Great review...I was holding out on the black bean burger mix. But will add it to my inventory now
Thank you |

Has anyone here tried peak refuel.
I tried the backpacker pantry Shepherds Pie. I pride myself in pretty much being able to eat anything after having been in the rangers early my in life. But backpackers meal above. I had to make myself eat it and that was because my wife was watching me. It was bad. I mean in a push come to shove situation I'd eat it. But otherwise noooo. The backpackers deserts are good though. Maybe it was that one particular meal. |

I think I have had some of their products, like the cookie bites were OK, but not much as they are pretty expensive.
|
|
|
And for the survivalist alcoholics, Morning Moos mixed with a jigger of dark rum ain't bad...
|
|
|
Outstanding!
Are you gaining weight, losing, or maintaining? 🤣 I hope you wife is well. |
|
|
Umm..well, not losing any weight, that would be nice, but a sedentary office job doesn't lend itself well to LOSING weight...dagnbabbit.
On the other hand, I did get my son, the Picky Eater of all time, to try the Morning Moos, (sans rum, of course), and he liked it quite a bit. |
