... "off the shelf" stuff I use are tubes of tomato paste (nice addition to freeze dryed stroganoff), tubes of pesto for pasta, crushed red pepper, garlic (nice to have markskor around to mince it before sauteing and adding to everything)...
FYI, Mike and I made a pact a few years back...after sampling his cooking.
We agreed that I would do all the dinner cooking on our trips if he wouldn't...worked out way better.
He only handles the bar-tending/ cheese course duties pre-dinner.
BTW, On our last trip, acquired the trail name "Hop Sing" (old Bonanza reference).
