Can you live by eating three $3 meals a day?

I got a set of Nordicware at Costco that are plain aluminum. Bakeware of that metal seems more likely to not have the nonstick coating.
Failing that, a silicone sheet to go over the coating.

 

Yep; that's what I use. Whenever I group camp, I'd get multiple reminders to bring my cast iron set. I'm amazed that so many people don't know how to take proper care of them and how easy they are to clean. Even had someone in the group bring their new preseasoned set. Had to stop them from cooking with it out of the box. They didn't realize there was a wax layer to give it that sheen, so we baked the set over the camp fire. They were surprised by all the junk dripping off the set.
The ladies were always crying that they're too heavy - I just say that I don't need a gym membership.....

As far as cookie sheets go; try Goodwill or garage sales; that's my go-to for good old fashion non-teflon equipment. Always on the look-out for Pyrex, you can get replacement lids online. You can go from fridge to microwave or oven with the old stuff, without the chance of shattering.

 

They knew going in that there would be problems. They just didn't know which ones. Fully sealed for two years was an extreme goal. No one had ever done anything that ambitious. For the second mission, the seven month one, they fixed the food and air problems before they went in. Don't know about the psychological issues, I haven't found any public accounts of that mission.

I thought that was more of a hostile takeover than a "rescue" mission. The new management reportedly had a crisp focus on monetizing the place. They also appear to have lost? Thrown out? much of that data collected on the first mission, data that we can't currently recreate.

I'm almost afraid to ask, but now I need to know.

 

You forgot the part about the broken windows....and smuggling in food.

Two things:
Guns and ICE.

No, not THAT ICE......Internal Combustion Engines....

 

You used to be able to live for no food costs going into grocery store dumpsters. Live well on it too.

 

We just got back from the supermarket.
$240. For about a weeks worth of groceries for two.
And that’s almost all vegetables, fruits, bread, protein, and etc.
No snacks, or sweets

 

You should have gone around back.

 

I guess that wet noodle didn't teach you anything!!!
If your going to defy executive orders, at least live a little bit - Don't skimp on the snacks and sweets; before ICE drags you away - so might as well enjoy it.
