MRE?

Meals Ready to Eat. The military/survival food packets. Not really. But these came in a packet (and a box).

Rice in a Bag #1

From Costco.

Contents

First time followed the instructions on the package. Rice was a little pilaf-y (Think Uncle Ben’s). Second time added a little bit of hot water. Much better.

Rice in a Bag #2

Also from Costco.

Again, open bag, add water, nuke, empty contents.

Rice packet number 1 was better, rice packet #2 was a touch too garlic-ky. Maybe if there were bits or chunks of pork (or even bacon or SPAM, hee hee) it wouldn’t be as “potent”.

Found this in the corner of the grocery store, deeply discounted.

Box

Dried fruit in sweet bread? I’m there.

Oh well.

Enjoy. Eat well.
