Victuals & Drink, Volume 1 number 7, July 1999 Fine Cabin Dining in Ester: A Few Classic Bachelor Cuisine Recipes The Standard Breakfast Black Coffee and a Bacon and Egg Sandwich Fry bacon strips in pan. Break an egg over them. When egg is cooked, place on bread. Pour bacon grease onto bread until soaked for extra energy. (Helpful hint: unrefrigerated smoked bacon doesn’t start to smell really bad for at least a week. Eggs keep forever.) The Express Breakfast Black Coffee and Chocolate-Covered Mystic Mint Cookies Lunch Pork and Beans One can of Pork and Beans. Open can, insert spoon and eat. (Helpful hints: there are an infinite number of variations on this recipe. Replace can of Pork and Beans with with a can of Chili Mack, Chili, Turkey and Noodles, Barbecued Beef with Noodles, etc. Re-membering his bachelor days, George Riley highly recommends Stag brand Steak Chili, which, like all lunch items, is best when eaten cold from the can.) Dinner Dinner recipe(calls for more elaborate cooking): heat one cup of water to a boil. Add one cup of minute rice. Wait for one minute. Add one can of Campbell’s Cream of Chicken and Mushroom Condensed Soup. Eat with barbeque sauce while still warm. (Here again, a helpful hint from George: frozen TV dinners can be stored in a snow cave outside the cabin during the winter, so it doesn’t matter if you go away for a week and your cabin freezes up. TV dinners can also be heated to perfection on the top of a wood stove, so it doesn’t matter if you fall asleep while waiting for your dinner: it will still be warm in the morning when you wake up.) Shorty Zucchini’s Stove Top Bannock Bread Ingredients: flour, raisins, baking powder, bacon grease, and a pinch of salt. Mix ingredients with just enough water to make it stick. Roll into a ball and throw hard onto the top of the wood stove, so it flattens out when it hits. Turn with a spatula when it gets black on one side and starts to smoke.
