Hey, all.
I thought I'd put out a general plea for recipes here. Some of you
know that I'm a storm chaser (focusing on lightning photography), and also
teach several Indiana high school percussion sections. Marching season is
under way now, meaning my typical schedule is get up at 5:30, leave for
work at 6:00, skip lunch, leave work at 4:00, drive 2ish hours, teach a
rehearsal 'till 10:00, discuss the show 'till 11:00-12:00, drive 2ish
hours, fall into bed. Then, of course, we get the occasional storm, and I
end up leaving the school I'm teaching at arround 10:30, search for a nifty
isolated county road 'till about 11:00, set up the cameras and start taking
photos until about 12:00, when someone with bright headlights parks in the
middle of the frame and asks if I'm OK, then procedes to tell me about the
tornado he saw during the palm sunday outbreak, until about 1:00 (withought
turning off his headlights, of course). Then I get home arround 5:00,
appease my cat, and spend 15 minuts wondering why I'm so insane.
Obviously, I need to eat in the car.
Traditionally, I do OK through April with PB&J and some fruit. But it's
gets really boring really quickly. I'd like to be able to make a variety
of quick foods I can eat while driving on sunday, and be able to just grab
out of the fridge/freezer what I feel like for that day. Also, hot
(temperature-wise) food could be good from time-to-time. I can always stop
to use a microwave where I get gas. Or I might put one in my car... But
the main goal is to be less boring. Incorporate some chiles other than the
occasional Jalapeno jelly, maybe some curry type flavors, some different
textures... etc.
Does anyone have any nifty recipes that can be eaten fairly easily in the
car, and store/reheat well? Preferably without spilling all over myself ;)
