      I always wonder if Emmy is trying to open it properly or not. The key is to open the peelable seal right in the middle where the seal comes to a point. If you open it at that point it allows you to focus all of the pressure on a small part of the seal. The seal fails fairly often anyway but it helps if you try to open from the right spot.

You don’t want to know how confused I was at the start, thinking “what is this lovely woman saying, she doesn’t look crazy but for this one line!?” I thought it was a competition where different viewers wrote in and got her to say different weird lines each time!?

    My husband was in the Air Force and he says no one made the Coco beverage into a drink. They made it into Ranger pudding. Use just a little bit of water, the sugar packet, and the creamer packet mixed into the cocoa drink powder until it's a thick paste. Bingo! You have Ranger pudding. In the field when you're cold and exhausted, it was a little bright spot of something different at the end of your meal. Very comforting!

    The goulash looks a lot better than a lot of frozen dinners I’ve eaten. I’d probably eat it. Some mashed potatoes would be good with it. Or maybe I’d put it on the bread.

    I come from a military family and when I was a kid (early 70’s)our grandpa would get us the MRE’s from Camp Pendleton that came in a box and the food was in green cans. My favorite was the beans and weenies and the peanut butter. There was also crackers and chocolate. Once you mastered using the funky little can opener tasting everything was fun. We were always excited to see what MRE’s were waiting for us.

      C-Rats (with cans) predated MREs that came into service in the 1980s. I left the service in 1986, never had MREs, only C-Rats. I'm one of the few who actually liked "Beans and Mfers". 😄

    At 73, arthritis in my thumbs makes a pair of scissors my best friend when opening things like that! 😆. I’ve never had to eat MREs as they didn’t have them 50 years ago when I was in the USAF. Ameriqual, a company here in Evansville, IN makes a lot of MREs. When you drive past one of their facilities you can often get a whiff of what they are preparing that day. Usually smells pretty good.

    Fun fact: you can make brownies with your hot chocolate powder. Just mix in a bit of water to make a thick slurry, grab your canteen cup and put your batter in. Leave on a hot engine block for however long it takes.

    Flameless ration heater tip: if you put the water in the heater, then put the ration against the heater rather than inside it within the sleeve, the heating is far more effective. Especially if you’re trying to heat two things at once (one on either side). They actually get hot rather than lukewarm in my experience.

    The sleeve replaces the box that the entree used to come in. You slip the entree and anything else you want heated in the heater fold the top, then slip it into the sleeve to keep it closed while heating.

    In Australia, we call that cordial - a fruit flavoured liquid that you dilute with water, usually about 1:4, 4 being the water. You can buy it in 2 litre bottles. Most parents are mindful of the sugar, so serve it occasionally and diluted a bit more than the recommendation.

    I grow up with the Hungary beef goulash which is basically a beef stew made with lesser cuts of meat, lard or olive oil, onion, bell pepper, tomatoes water, paprika and sour cream that requires a low and slow cooking time in order to get the meat tender. My mother got the recipe from my great, great aunt Rose who was born in Hungary and ended up in Wisconsin with the rest of her family. My mother either make it with egg noodles or spaetzle but you can serve as is. The American version your taking about is more or less like American chops suey...it good, quicker cheaper to prepare adaptation made with ground beef with filler(carrots, peas and a larger pasta ratio using elbow macaroni). Chicken Paprikash is another simple Hungary dish that's really good.

    My mom made “slumgulleon” - elbow macaroni, ground beef, onion, bell pepper, canned diced tomatoes, and that dried parm cheese in the shaker can. A friend came over and said her family called the same dish “gulash”. This was waaay before Hamburger Helper was invented.
