Baked potato dinner

I haven't seen shelf stable turkey bacon. I could see some utility in that.

I'd like to do a solar oven but in my research most of the designs are incapable of reaching the temperature needed to bake much of anything. The only real option that actually works is a rather expensive large fresnel lens based one.

Bean salad and shiitake sandwich

Bring to a boil, let rest for 20, slice, squeeze out all the loose moisture through a cotton shirt rag, then sauteed in olive oil until they started to brown.

I know the texture you are thinking of and that's why I put it through the extra steps. I figured the slicing and then saute would break any long fibers and the wringing out would get rid of enough moisture to allow browning. It worked great so that I didn't have a single rubbery bite.

Depending on the area the mesolithic ends at different times. The area he was found in was still just barely in it. But he himself may have passed through areas that were past it. His genetics indicate he was from a rather isolated population that didn't deal with many people.
