This is a quick and easy pasta dish that is filling on a cold winter’s night.

This is a really simple no recipe dish. It contains only a few ingredients. I start of with a few ounces of ground chicken.

I put in a good shake of turmeric and black pepper, and a spoonful of minced garlic. I add a splash of single malt scotch to the pan, and let it simmer on low setting until it redu

I decided to experiment some more with my long term storage foods that I keep on hand for camping and for emergencies. I live in a fairly remote part of Maine, (by choice) and sometimes in winter the power gets knocked out when snow tips the trees over onto power lines.

Tonight was the first significant snowfall of the season. I was going to test out my new Bushcrafting tarp by pitching it tent style. Unfortunately we had about 2 inches of snow and it immediately turned to rain. Cold driving rain that just soaked everything, including me, to chill to the bone. My gear is drenched and frozen. Once the ice started falling out of the clouds I decided I’d had enough. Common sense being the better part of valor — I decided that I’m going to wait

This is a quick and easy noodle dish that you can throw together in a hurry, and it does pretty good.

A creative use for leftovers in the fridge.
