My dad is in the Air Force and sometimes he brings home MREs (Meals Ready to Eat).

I got a kick out of some of the packaging.

We headed outside to make one of the meals. Andy added water, which starts a chemical reaction that cooks the food.

We stepped back and let it cook for about 10 minutes.

While we waited, Andy made the orange drink mix. It actually wasn’t bad, tasted kind of like gatorade.

The burger and macaroni and cheese finished cooking. Yum…

The macaroni and cheese wasn’t bad but Andy said the burger tasted like catfood. I think it looks like something the cat leaves in the litterbox…
