PICTURE OF THE DAY
2 food bags from Outward Bound, with crackers, cheese, canned tuna, powder something (milk?) pita, nalgene container probably containing butter, trail mix, and drink mix.
Topic: How I made it through a week in St. Louis, Outward Bound style
FOOD AND DRINK
1) Used a water bottle instead of buying drinks. Cost nothing and stayed hydrated.
2) Ate trail mix. Bought a box of raisins, a jar of peanuts, and a bag of chocolate chips. Had snacks for the week.
3) Made gado-gado pasta (2 meals, under $1/meal)
—mix peanut butter and a little water, heat in a bowl, at whatever spices you want, and wa-la, your own thai style pasta. I used salt, pepper, sugar, and top it w/ hot sauce.
4) Made manwhich pasta (2 meals, under $2/meal)
—brown 1lb. of meat, add Manwhich, serve over pasta
5) Made stir-fry veggies, rice, tortillas (I think I ate over 1000 tortillas on Outward Bound) (2 meals, under $2/meal)
LIFESTYLE
1) Turned down rides in favor of walking a mile or two into town. No cost, relaxing, and the only exercise I got.
2) Slept on a couch (a lot more luxurious than Outward Bound, but still nomadic).

Everytime I come to this site I am shocked (in a good way). I do that same thing with peanut butter (my dad used to make Indonesian Saute with peanut sauce, but I don’t have peanut powder and things, so I use peanut butter, water, and salsa), only I don’t put it over pasta I put it over rice. My room-mates think I’m insane, but I’m going to refer them to this site to prove that I am not the only one. Thanks for that and thanks for the other meal ideas, those are some helpful tips.
