A Christmas Gift

My wife gave me this book for Christmas this year. I've paged through the first half and there is a lot of theory at first. For example, don't have meals with multiple entrees that need to be heated if you only have one stove.

I learned this unique lesson on my last trip. We had eggs, pancakes, and some other things, but only one burner. It takes way too long to cook all these up. I think from now on, I'll try to limit it to one thing being cooked instead of multiple.

It's a good book and has lots of ideas for meals so this one rates high from me.
