Not as wholesome as whole grain bread, true, but I am willing to make such sacrifices for easily portable, non-moldy, bread-like substitutes. I think the biggest problem with the Slow Food movement is that it seems so dedicated to only worshiping complicated, time-consuming food preparation and eating. I like their ethos, sure, but I hate cooking, I'm content to eat the same things over and over, and I'm frequently doing something more interesting when it occurs to me to eat.

Let me know if you find any good convenience food coping strategies! Oh, I wasn't saying that there's anything wrong with PB&J. That's just definitely not the "slow food" ethos. I am whatever the opposite of a gourmand is (I prefer simple fast food rather than fancy slow food). Tortillas are good, especially the flavored ones (tomato and basil or even just corn tortillas). I'm not sure about having them with peanut butter, but I do enjoy them as bread for other sandwiches. Will do, SDG. Let me know if you find any good convenience food coping strategies!

The US is pretty much the only country where peanut butter is considered a staple, so let me tell you, if you live anywhere else for very long, you start to consider good ol' PB&J to be a <i>delicacy</i>. My latest convenience food of choice is a tortilla with peanut butter and either raisins or craisins, whichever is available, rolled up or folded into quarters. Tortillas don't go bad as quickly as bread, and take up a lot less space, which is the reason the summer camp my brother worked at gave them to all the kids as their backpacking "bread."

My name is Student Doctor Green and I am also a convenience food junkie. No, but seriously I hear you. Those college habits die hard. Let me know how the making your own noodles thing goes that sounds like an awesome idea. Hi. My name is Student Doctor Green and I am also a convenience food junkie.
