4 Days to go – tick tock tick tock

Posted on | May 7, 2007 | 2 Comments

Well I finally got round to playing with breakfast and dessert for the crossing.

Recipe for Angel Delight:

1 packet of Angel Delight

2.5 tablespoons of Dried Milk

1 Cup of Water

Add all dry ingredients together, add the water and mix. Leave to set for about 5-10 mins.

Recipe for Instant Oats:

1 packet of Instant Oats

1.5 tablespoons of Dried Milk

half Cup of Water

Add all ingredients together in pot, mix and heat until hot.

Note: The Cup measurment is most likely the American Cup, as I am using the protective pot cover that comes with the Jetboil that also doubles as  a measuring cup.

Note: I am also using the Morrisons own brand Dried Skimmed Milk.

I thought it important that I master the above before going on the Challenge. You know get quantities right etc. Well they all worked out rather well, and the Angel Delight passed the Nathan taste test with flying colours ^_^ It wasn’t too keen on the Instant Oats as he didn’t like the flavour I had chosen.

I’ve now rebagged all the Angel Delights and Instant Oats into new bags with the correct amounts of Dried Milk, and they are in the resupply boxes. Tomorrow is posting day.

So meal wise I have the following:

Evenings:

instant noodles with mushrooms, tuna and chilli flakes

chicken korma + rice

turkey laab + rice

chilli + rice

thai green curry (chicken) + rice

instant custard or angel delight

Breakfast:

Instant Oats

During the day:

Gorp (nuts and dried fruit)

Beef Jerky

Salmon Jerky

Chocolate

Fruit snack bars

Mini Jaffa Cakes

Mini Oreo Cookies

Cuppa Cous Cous

dried fruit

Drinks:

Coffee

Herbal Tea

Condensed Milk to use with coffee

I’ve gone with a lot of snacky stuff that I hope will tempt me to eat. As usually I loose my appetite on the hill. So I need stuff I will eat during the day.

New accessories for my Jetboil!!! The hanging kit, a frying pan, utensil kit, and a cargo cozy kit for use with the utensils. This is very sad I know, but this has me excited. And I will be getting these once I’m back from Scotland ready for car camping trips (frying pan, and 2 litre pot) and I’l see if the utensils will replace the other bits I have.
