    I think there's a jelly bean that has notes of thanksgiving dinner, sage, giblets, turkey, with a sweet coconut ambrosia finish.

    Never tried freezer bag cooking before but I've basically done this with a one pot meal it works just fine should be alright

    I have done stuffing, dehydrated turkey (or chicken), gravy and dried cranberries. It was yummy. I wouldn't add the potatoes personally since that would make a mush.

    I'd try it too, but we have already wolfed down most of the leftovers.

    Just got back from a local trip today....with the weather still warm here it was 10 days of no cook....even the turkey day dinner.

    I added the usual amount of water to the stuffing, but cold (if Florida water is ever cold) and with out margarine.

    Then added the pouched chicken and Craisins.

    To my surprise the stuffing was ready to eat almost immediately. The herbs developed more flavor after sitting a short period, like maybe 15 mins.

    Was a great no cook meal, might add some walnuts next time.

    Desert was instant banana a pudding and dry milk shaken (again with air temp water), it was great too.


    The trouble I have with campfires are the folks that carry a bottle in one hand and a Bible in the other.
