{Edit: it was based on my usual dried beans recipe}

This was enough for dinner that night and lunch the next day. So divide these costs in half to get the per-meal cost:

  • 170Wh of energy
  • $1.11, if my math is right:
    • ~$0.24 for onion, $0.49/lb at the local mercado.
    • 180g of small red beans. These were free because someone had them but couldn’t/wouldn’t cook them in their rig…
    • ~$0.01 5g of salt
    • ~$0.03 dried chili pepper from a bulk bag, again from the mercado
    • $0.83 1/2lb of louisiana smoked sausages (hot) from the manager’s discount bin

Pressed the Beans button on the 3qt Instant Pot and forgot about it until it was done. Served with cold beer…

    is there a legal risk to having alcohol in the van?

    Yes. I don’t drink often (can’t afford it) but when I do it’s usually sharing some whiskey around a campfire in the boonies. I’ve had a beer with dinner nearer to civilization but hangovers are less fun after the beard gets gray…
