This was one of the meals I was a bit concerned of the expiry date, and were the reason I've started this thread ~3 weeks ago.
So I just opened the Ziplock bag, poured approx. 300ml boiling water in, and let it soak for 15 minutes.
The Spaghetti rehydrated to a really perfect "bite", and the sauce was tasty, but there was way too much water so the whole look&feel, the consistency, was completely off.
Which now leads me to the above question.
OK, so I not only have to sign the packs with what is in them, but also note the amount of water needed, as far as I've found out by experience.
@Walter:
Same here, from almost every trip I bring back one or two unused dinner packs. Always calculating a bit too much, food-wise.
I like your idea of the Brown Rice blending.
