It may take a bit of organizing and a little extra planning of your meals, but if you are going to cook up some pasta why not use the energy once?

Always one to have a contingency plan I loaded up our little boat with a good deal of contingencies.. packaged this, canned that, long term dried stuff, two or three of this or that… you name it, I had it.
