like to hear more ideas on the cooking side though,,how many different dishes can be made using boiling water ??? 

Custard if you use Birds instant custard powder  :lol


I've been using that in 'instant' drop scone (Scotch pancakes) recipe for breakfast. I doubt I'll be having a fry up each day on my next trip.

The usual method is along the lines of this  http://allrecipes.co.uk/recipe/2548/drop-scones.aspx adjusting the amounts for 1 (ok 2 coz I like a big breakfast).

I dont bother with the castor sugar, I add sultanas and eat with honey or jam on the top for sweetness. I've skipped the melted butter as well and it seems to make little difference. So I'm left with just self raising flour, custard powder and a little water. 3 very heaped dessert spoons of flour to 4 level dessert spoons of custard powder is a rough ratio.


For dinners, I'm going to look at taking some packets dehydrated risotto, or just rice and soup powders, for when I cant find anything suitable and fresh on the day.
