[at-l] Dehydrated Menu - Sparky PA

  I have been working on my meals and since I can dehydrate snacks the big 
challenge for this trip was to dehydrate some full meals just for myself.

  So...  my menu is as follows

Breakfasts,  Power bars, oatmeal squares and Ice Tea
Lunches - Cheese and crackers, jerky, M&Ms
Snacks - Range from mini moon pies, M&Ms, Candy corn, Snickers, GORP
Suppers... 
  1st night -  Parker Pass Potatoes (Enertia Trail Food) I thought I would 
give them a   try.   
  2nd night -  Chili I dehydrated,  Looked good and tasted good when I made 
it first and it dehydrated very nicely.  I think I may have too much but I am 
going to be alone in my tent so it really doesn't matter. ;)
  3rd night -  Spaghetti.   This was something I have been struggling with 
but I had some fantastic success.   My test included uncooked spaghetti compared 
to cooked and dehydrated.  My friends, cooked and dehydrated cooked MUCH MUCH 
faster that the uncooked.    The sauce was from a can of  Hunt's spaghetti 
sauce and I was reluctant  to try it... as it turned out it when I dehydrated 
the sauce it was like a giant fruit leather.   Not sure how it would taste, I 
dehydrated it and it was fantastic.  
  4th night,  Turkey Supper,  This is simply dehydrated  chicken and stuffing 
along with a gravy.  This is my last meal and something that I truly enjoy on 
the trail.  I cook up a chicken breast in this spice I picked up in Turkey, 
dehydrate it.  On the  trail I simply dehydrate the chicken in the water I use 
to make the stuffing... Then I make some gravy and I am eatin' good!
  Just thought I would share with you what I decided to bring,  Not  testing 
any new  gear this time and it will be nice to hit the trail.
