Foods + Maybe a more graceful departure





It would be easy enough to take a picture of what I'm posting about. . . but this is meant to be quick.

In the past when I've left on these trips, I've rushed.

This time--well, I'm still procrastinating and rushing. But I'm managing to get some different food along.

I'm attempting to not use grains as much. (Garden of Eating Cookbook has rationale -- & recommends against legumes too.)

And I'm bringing along new foods.

  • Dried potatoes
  • rasins
  • prunes
  • tapioca--same as yuca? kraft tapioca -- $6/lb- 8oz box
  • parmesan
  • dry coconut
  • besan / gram flour --
  • lentils, favas
  • doritos ruedas -- wheat (and who knows--I don't have a full ingredient list)
  • garlic
  • almonds in the shell
  • dried apricot paste
  • some odd (to me) Mexican form of sugar
Tomorrow AM I need to get to World Foods and get some seaweed and dried mushrooms and see what other good dried stuff I might find there.

I think I'll get some butter or some sort of oil too.

I've spent $40 on food + a little led light. $35 on Adventure Passes.

And I'll still have along some white rice.

Peace,
