I just buy liter size Powerade Zeros and that zero-cal sparkling water at Aldi, and re-use the bottles.
My entire kitchen set consists of one coffee cup, which I use for everything, a can opener, four spoons (but I only need one spork), some paper plates, and a Leatherman. I don't need bowls, because stuff you eat in a bowl comes pre-dished in a can.
Once I get the spork situation sorted out, I can throw the spoons in the trash, and my kitchen set will be complete.Last edited by Ironduke; 02 May 18,, 00:20."Every man has his weakness. Mine was always just cigarettes."

The powerade bottle can be used as a pitcher.
I don't buy canned soup. I suppose though I can drink the canned peas and canned corn. There's enough water in the can where I can pour from the can directly into my mouth. Might be a few pieces that get stuck to the bottom I can't get at, but no big deal.
I might be able to drink the pork and beans too, I've never tried that, but I'm concerned about the higher viscosity of the pork and beans compared to corn/peas. There might be a whole third of a can of pork and beans that goes to waste because they got stuck to the bottom of the can. I suppose I can kind of dig out the stragglers with the chopsticks though.
I don't have a fork right now. It's one of two reasons I want to get a spork.
Wouldn't I have to get a funnel to funnel the lemon juice into the Powerade bottle? I don't want a funnel. I suppose I can take my Leatherman though, and cut the top off the Powerade bottle. That way I have an extra cup too, if I ever have company over.
To be honest though, I'd just rather suck the lemon, then eat the pulp. I used to do that with limes too.Last edited by Ironduke; 02 May 18,, 00:47."Every man has his weakness. Mine was always just cigarettes."

Just think of chopsticks as long fingers. They are about the only thing I eat with. For some weird reason, the wife makes us use forks when eating spaghetti. All other noodle dishes we use chopsticks.
Not sure why but I noticed the same thing in both Japan and Korea. Forks for spaghetti.
Instead of a funnel, just put the edge of the spoon on the lip of the poweraid bottle

I know how to use chopsticks. I use them every time I go to the Chinese buffet.
Never thought to use them anywhere else though. It's a good idea.
I'll get a pair at secondhand store down the street. I suppose they'd be easy to travel with too."Every man has his weakness. Mine was always just cigarettes."

Bachelor Ham and Cheese Sandwich
Ingredients: Ham, Cheese
If Ham > Cheese, the ham is the bread
If Cheese > Ham, the cheese is the bread
If you need some sort of sandwich spread, cream cheese or sour cream is a perfectly acceptable substitute for mayonnaise.

Edit: SITREP on the Ironduke Spork Crisis of 2018. I issued an order over the cables, and a solution is incoming, courtesy of the USPS and eBay.
After hours of searching local discount stores, I finally gave up and ordered one online.
Not having one has bothered me badly, and it was causing me too much undue stress. Once it arrives, I'll once and for all be free of all of the anxiety I was experiencing, that resulted from me not owning this vital tool.
Now I can also avoid cross-contamination from using my Leatherman Surge for everything.
