The stepdaughter's boyfriend is a paramedic with the Long Beach fire
dept. He's also on probation (he's a newbie) and a lot of the
firehouse cooking devolves upon him. (The firemen haze like a bad
fraternity, AFAICS.) She was trying to compile a few (simple/idiot
proof) recipes for him when I ran across the cookbook, _A Man, a Can,
and a Plan_
http://www.bookfinder.us/review7/1579546072.html
It became an instant hit. The recipes sound gawdawful, so go figure.
Still, the title's worth something <g>

I mentioned this in a post a couple of years ago. Ran across the book free
with the purchase of a can-opener at Bed, Bath & Beyond. I thought it
sounded a bit insulting, given the level of cooking skills of most of the
guys who frequent this ng. But my mom is not the best of cooks - to her, a
can of tomato soup, a can of kidney beans and a pound of ground beef with
some McCormick's seasoning = chili. That's about what this book espouses.

Speaking of silly cookbooks, my favourite is Manifold Destiny, about cooking
on your car engine! It's a dead-set classic, I love it. I can't do it,
owning small japanese cars that don't have big hot engines, but it's a great
read.

The book has a sequel -- A Man, A Can, A Grill.

I had the thought of making a oil tank for a Harley Davidson with a can
sized well in the middle for heating canned food (HD oil tanks get pretty
hot). Never got around to making one, though. But, I have warmed canned
beans on my car engine when traveling cross country back in those lean ol'
days. Worked great!

I remember my first field exercise in the Army - had heard the old soldiers
talk about warming up C-rations on generator mufflers. I could cook a bit, so
I opened a can and tried to warm up the can for an hour. Had to eat yucky cold
C's. Trick is to Not open the can, lay sideways on generator pipe to muffler
(much hotter than the muffler itself) and snatch off when the lid buckles out
and before it explodes. The pipe vibrated so much it turned the can around and
around. Now there's a foodie memory for ya.

I see that this book is from the people of Men's Health magazine. I had the
misfortune of picking up this fishwrap while getting a haircut one day.
I flipped through it until I came across an article titled, "How to make
your bed."
I'm not kidding.
Hasta,

Heck, you if you had eaten them cold, you would have thought
they tasted home made... because: you're male.

There's also a third offering by the same author:
A Man, A Can, A Microwave.

left and had a lovely turkey with all the trimmings when we got there. Thanks
for the memories! Can't remember why or where we were going but it was great!
take care
