OK my cooking friends, this is a bit of a tough nut, but I think you are up to the challenge. I need a recipe for my new years dinner, but there are some considerations of course....
After another fine year in retail sales, I have decided this year to put all my holiday celebration energy into a week long trip starting after Xmas. We are leaving 12/27 on a jet plane.
Where are we going? I don't know. My wife and helpmeet has challenged me both in adventurousness and whimsy. She bought the tickets as a Christmas gift, I'm taking the ride. My guidance on this is a backpacking trip of seven days, warm weather. The destination is a mystery until we show up at the airport.
I Suspect, given warm weather, and that we are going to be in the Continental US (she hasn't asked for my passport), we are desert camping. So I won't have a lot of water to play with.
So I want a New Year's meal that I can put into a quart freezer bag, and which can be prepared using a MSR XGK stove, and a single pot. Minimal water. Has to survive an airplane trip. Has to be backpack friendly.
On the plus side I have whatever resources to throw at it in prep we leave on 12/27, so frozen is kind of an option. I have access to freeze dried chicken and beef.
My Beloved Wife is really working on this mystery trip, I want to reward her effort with something spectacular for New Years.
Any thoughts?
