From out in the field and back

So day 12, 13, and 14 were the hardest so far. That's because I went up into the Hawaiian mountains for work. It's harder because:

1. I work harder therefore need more calories
2. I at least feel like I need more fat and protein in my diet to feel full
3. Food isn't readily available, we have a lot of food stored but it's all canned or dried. There's a lot of vegetarian stuff but very few things are actually vegan. I had to plan ahead and I still had to cheat for two breakfasts.

I had two toaster pastries, the organic version of poptarts. They were listed to have milk in them. Alas I'll try to stay on the straight and narrow from now on.

While in the field I did enjoy some good vegan food. Some packaged stuff known as "Tasty Bites." They're basically either a stir fry or curry in an aluminum pouch. Really good actually, especially when eaten with hot rice. Easy to carry and cook in the field too.

Last night I grilled pizza for everyone for dinner. Some were meaty pizzas (I didn't eat any), but two were vegans. Here's what you do:

With your grill on medium put on a prebaked pizza crust upside down, either buy them or comment and I'll give you a pizza crust recipe. Throw your toppings on the grill at the same time to cook as well. Once the crust has started to brown flip it. Next add your cheese (if you're not vegan). The cheese should go down next so it's closer to the heat and will melt. Next add your sauce, then toppings. Grill till brown on bottom. Makes for a really nice crispy crust. Takes a little practice but well worth it.

Sorry I don't have any pictures of food but here are a few of where I work.
