In which I should have been a Boy Scout

[ultranos]

This might sound like a dumb question, but I'm looking at the calendar and noticing that D*C is, oh, two weeks away. And since one particular aspect of my personality is that I like to be stupidly prepared, I'm mentally trying to figure out what I'm going to pack. Because the only other con I've been to is AB, where the extent of my "packing" is "should I take a backpack? Oh, sure. I might actually buy something."

(And I need to go to Eastern Mountain Sports to pick up a new duffel bag because my old one is torn to hell. I'm hoping an EMS one lasts longer than, oh, 3 years with minimal use.)

So, uh, any suggestions? I mean, I'm probably taking Erebus, because at this point in time, I have a very hard time functioning without my laptop or other computer. Yes, I am that sad.

(And do I actually want to take the full BDU getup, even though at this point it's not really cosplay because I wear it all the damn time.)

My only restriction is that bananas are evil but I've definitely cooked for people with wacky food issues. It's an adventure!

(eh, peanut-butter and jelly isn't that great. peanut butter and honey is getting somewhere. Peanut butter and chocolate is NOT TO BE MISSED)

...I, um, you can keep your nori all for you :) (actually, though, that could work really well with the right things mixed with it - probably not stuff that's overly sweet, but stuff on the plain or salty end could work)

It is an adventure!

(There was a time when I had very little money so was pretty much living off peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. It was kind of sad. I have not tried peanut butter and honey. Peanut butter and chocolate is indeed delicious, as is peanut butter and Nutella.)

Yeah, nori is, um, special. I don't know why I like it, but sometimes it's just really good when I'm craving something salty. And it's healthier than, say, potato chips. (Hm, mixing it with plain or salty things could work. You're giving me ideas. This is dangerous. The last time someone challenged me to figure out how to cook/make something with food, we ended up with Mt. Dew roasted chicken.)

Mt Dew Roast Chicken...sounds tasty.

It actually really is. I generally do it like a beer-can chicken, only using a Mt Dew can. Also, about 1/4 of the can is poured into a skillet of orange concentrate, chicken stock, and ginger, which is then used as a glaze. It actually not as sweet as people would think.
