“I wonder if I have just enough on hand to make red curry. Wait! I have a horrible idea.”
Someone gave me this and today I was cooking for myself.
Meatballs in marinara: Meh Potatoes au gratin: double mej Tortillas: for what they are they weren’t horrible. Jalapeno cheese: no heat. Very sad. Energy bar: on par with a lot of commercial versions. I’d actually buy this. Beef stick: dry but better than most without the extra sticky so many of the ground beef ones have. Decent. Coffee: I normally do black. But for authenticity I added the creamer and Splenda. I regret the Splenda. Otherwise the coffee would have been pretty good. Green lemonade: why is it green? Otherwise tastes like any corporate powdered lemonade. Gum: cool minty.
Cost per person: free



This was everything so I guess it was the jalapeno cheese or the energy bar. Hard to tell.
Aw, man. You got screwed. Looking online you should have got blueberry cobbler and a chocolate chip cookie with menu 8.

I knew something was off when I got marinara and tortillas in the same MRE.
