Question for you guys. Working on food for a trip and was trying to figure out a good way to carry stuff like almond/peanut butter other than a hard sided plastic container. I was considering using pastry bags with screw on caps and heat sealing the other end.
Any thoughts and what do you guys use.Jess
Apr 18, 2013 at 7:21 am #1977968I normally carry Justin's butter packets (almond or peanut). They're convenient and light, but I can see the appeal of a reusable or DIY solution, especially if you're needing a lot of it.
Apr 18, 2013 at 7:31 am #1977975Apr 18, 2013 at 8:02 am #1977983I carry packets as well – be it Justin's or Artisina Organics or others.
Apr 18, 2013 at 8:10 am #1977990Nick, is that polenta and motor oil in those tubes? :)
Apr 18, 2013 at 12:34 pm #1978106Supposed to be some sort of "organic" honey from a health food store. Come to think of it, it did taste funny.

Apr 18, 2013 at 1:10 pm #1978119Well lubricated innards should clean out the sludge and carbon build-up?

Well, yes. But you're gonna have to bring a LOT more TP.
Apr 18, 2013 at 1:20 pm #1978125Nick probably uses more STP than TP.

Unless you keep track of which flowers the bees pollinate, its pretty hard to say that honey is organic. This seems like something –B.G.– would have mentioned.

Oh, I am sure it is marketing voodo at the health food store. I asked my wife to buy the golden stuff at the supermarket. Maybe they are range-fed bees?
Apr 18, 2013 at 2:59 pm #1978158To boost calories and flavor I often bring…butter.
My 573 kcal oatmeal recipe is:
1/2 cup instant oatmeal (140 kcal)
1/2 cup non-fat powdered milk (120 kcal)
2 tbsp butter (200 kcal)
1 tbsp brown sugar (48 kcal)
1/8 cup raisins (65 kcal)
1/8 tsp salt (o kcal)
pinch cinnamon (0 kcal)At home, in a Ziploc bag, combine all ingredients (make sure the butter is covered by the oatmeal and milk in case it melts a little). On the trail, bring 1 cup of water to a boil, add mix, stir, bring to boil again while still stirring, remove from heat and let sit for 5 minutes in cozy with lid.

Apr 19, 2013 at 9:13 am #1978388Buy your honey locally – find a small farmer and support them :-) That way you can get it raw and know it is really honey – and not "honey washed" faux honey from China. That and you support your local bees, who pollinate your local crops!
