Thanks for suggestion. She buys those perdue short cuts, which are precooked boneless, skinless , cut up chicken breast packed into ziplocks. I think they are 9 oz apiece. Expensive, bet we stock up when on sale in costcos. They have them for like 2.50 on special. About 5.50 in supermarket.
It makes life easier for her, since she works a full day, and then has a few hours of work in the house when she returns.
She doesnt like me messing with her kitchen, otherwise I would do the meals, but I know my boundaries. She does let me make my"famous grilled cheese sandwhiches", but other wise, not allowed to do any food prep, unless I am breaking up ice or reaching for something she cant reach. Shes only 4 foot 11. She says shes 5 foot 1 and a half. But shes in a fantasy land.
I am 6 foot 4, so we are quite a pair.

Much regards Jerry

I love those ramens and usually make 2 at a time. I get them on sale 6 for a dollar.
But check out the calorie and carb count on them.
Good for a struggling student, but bad for a pudgy and getting pudgier ex marine.
I guess its back to the gym. Havent used my membership in close to 6 months, but been paying for it.

Much regards Jerry

No such thing as an ex-Marine Jerry, you may be a little less lean and mean but still...

While I never made it past Parris Island, Ramen is certainly better than some of the crap the fed us, eating soft trays (cottage cheese, green jello, bread) for a week because your platoon can't drill to save its life is an experience in itself.

But yeah, I pick them up at the local wal-mart for .17 a package, hell of a bargain.

Your right. Always a Marine. I apologize for the wording. Its funny about the food at Paris. For a lot of those boys, they had never seen a feast such as this, and thought they were living high off the hog.
Others couldnt tolerate it. Probably because they gave you about 6 minutes to eat your meal, and eat everything you took.
Funny thing is they used to weigh us once a week. I was loseing a lot of weight. There were no sodas, or deserts in boot as you know. Well I was down to about 150 lbs and the naval surgeon ordered the d.i. to make sure I got two deserts every lunch and diner, and he was personally responsible to make sure I ate it.
I would be eating two pieces or pie or cake or ice cream with a d.i. screaming about 3 inches from my face, while he made the company watch me eat. He was on me all the time. It was quite difficult, but he turned out to be a real inspiration for me.
By the time I became a senior nco, I was served my meals, even when I was in the fleet force, I would sit down like and officer, and be served my meals.
We were treated good. But the marines like their people lean and strong. The theory is that we can carry more on our backs at greater distances, needing less food and water. Thats why you do not see many non lean marines, but a lot of heavy soldiers , airmen and naval personnel.
In Iraq, you wouldnt believe how fat the european soldiers were. Some of them could hardly walk fifty yards. The germans were really in bad shape, and they were allowed to drink beer. They were mostly all gorged and undeployable. The British were in very poor shape also. Their special forces were superb, but their general infantry were obese in far too many numbers.
The Ukraniuns were in good shape. They had a full battallion, but I think there were mostly paratroopers, and were in fine shape.

I LOL'D!!!!

I just ate 3x Ballpark hotdogs. Am left wondering how in the hell they plump when you cook them. Guess it's one of those 'don't ask don't tell' sorts of things.

A combo of Campbells Chunky chicken & dumplings and Hormel hot chili w/ bean, a liberal amount of Wickles Hoagie spread and a couple of slices of muenster cheese

My wife and I decided to pretend it was Thanksgiving. We got a 12lb turkey in the oven, with gravy, stuffing, mashed potatoes, and cranberry sauce ready to go.
