Hormel chili hangover

A while ago we decided to ease the dinner time quandary by buying some dinners in a can and simply heating them on the camp stove or in the motel microwave. This is wonderfully convenient and delicious. Hormel chili, Dinty (Google automatically wrote that as "Dingy" amusingly) Moore beef stew, Chef Boyardee ravioli. We eventually decided to buy canned beans to dilute the dinner, which reduced the bad stuff.

Only problem is that there is So Much Salt it's impossible to drink enough water to match. So the morning after our first Hormel Chili dinner, I woke up with a wicked headache.

Eating out of boxes, cans, and jars to save money and for convenience (and probably to be healthier too, as hard as it is to imagine) gets old pretty quick. Molitor tonight managed to put together a meal with a fresh salad (along with canned soup... There are just some realities of dinner in a motel room). And our on the road lunches of crackers and cheese, raw veggies and hummus, and fruit haven't lost all appeal yet.
