This dovetails well with my “go on tour” goal pretty well. During my 2002 cross-country trip I picked out the largest, most inpenetrable books in my shelf that I would never read otherwise, because Canada is a large country and small books would barely be a drop in the bucket that is the vastness of the prairies. That got me through Gravity’s Rainbow and Moby Dick.
Fortunately I’m blessed with a constitution allowing me to read while in a moving vehicle, so I hope to take my upcoming two-month spell on the highway as an opportunity to finish off Don Quixote and maybe some Dostoevsky. What’s this? A collected anthology of Mark Twain’s writings? Okay, I’ll stow it next to Augustine’s City of God. Big books for big trips.

Measure, mix, heat, agitate, heat, cool, eat.
I suppose all food can be boiled down to such essentials, but it was so stark in this case. By the time it’s mixed it’s practically ready to eat!
The video at http://www.forkyou.tv/2007/02/27/quick-fork-5-to-granolas-house-we-go/ got me where I needed to go. Now only exhausting my ingredient supplies is the sole thing holding me back from making it continually.
