Webmaster's Favorite Budget EZ-Cleanup Dinner (Mom's Cookin' Encore):  Bring leftovers frozen in a double freezer ziplock bag: diced chicken, beef or pork, potatoes or rice and veggies. Store inside your clothes to keep cool for the hike into camp. Place bag in boiling water for ten to 15 minutes, mixing every five minutes. Eat from the bag. Lick your spoon. An alternative is toss the food in with Top Ramen as you cook the ramen. An Apple (cooked in foil in the fire with cinamon) makes a cheap and EZ desert.
