Little thingy it's driving me crazy
Now that this thread has ran its course, I do have to say I like it when I hear a woman say the title of thread.

Tastebuds' Totally Truckable Beef Stroganoff
I figure it's time for me to start contributing more than silly attempts at humor. While I don't have enough trucker knowledge to really contribute there, I do, however, know how to cook! I'm just starting out, so my appliances and whatnot is rather limited right now, but that won't stop Tastebuds from whipping up something good to eat!
Equipment I used: small cutting board, sharp knife, electric skillet, and a cooking spoon.
Food to buy:
Beef meat. I bought a pound and a half package of beef stew meat. I don't normally use this at the house, but for sanitation reasons and the sake of simplicity, I used them here.
Sour cream. I bought an 8oz cup.
Parsley. I bought a tube of already chopped parsley because I don't have the means of washing them properly.
Mushrooms, chopped. I like portabella mushrooms but you can use whatever you want, even canned mushrooms are useable.
Noodles. I like using No Yokes, but any bag of wide egg noodles will do.
Salt and pepper, duh!
Water.
What to do:
Heat up the skillet as high as your inverter or tolerance for grease splatter will allow. You can use some cooking oil here, if you want. Season meat with salt and pepper to taste. Brown the meat to a dark brown color. I took out a few pieces at a time and eventually cut them all into smaller pieces to aid in tenderizing and stuffing in my mouth later. Add mushrooms.
Once the meat is browned enough, add enough water to cover the meat, cover with the lid, and lower the heat to simmer. As the water cook's out, check tenderness and continue adding water and simmering until desired tenderness is reached.
Add water one more time and let it heat up. Add as much uncooked noodles as your skillet can hold. Cook until noodles are done and the noodle meat mixture is not too watery. Turn off skillet, then add parsley and sour cream. Let mixture sit for about 5 minutes or until the savage in you demands to be fed.
Bon appetit!

O/D Pulling an RGN as a Newbie!
I'm glad you explained that, thanks! I've seen a lot of really cool stuff being hauled here lately, that makes it easier to understand how.

Thanks! Though you may very well have had a switch like that on your Pete, as I've found out they can be added aftermarket.

I drive locally and make around $900/week gross, which for me is around $700 or so take home.
I always wondered how much bread they put in your jar! (Please tell me you got that reference!)

Yes it is reasonable But wait to budget until you get rolling with your FM. Some gradually add miles as you get better, some throw mikes at you to see what you can handle.
I'm not sure I want to handle a "mike" but maybe a Michelle or a Marcie.

I was told Pete's don't have the switch. And to not park on grass. Oh, and keep the APU set to autostart: low battery. Also, to enjoy my weekend. I think that covers everything they told me.

I wouldn't use the crockpot exclusively. Once you brown the meat in a skillet you could probably use the crockpot to finish cooking it. I wouldn't do it simply because I try to dirty as few dishes as possible while on the road UNLESS I have PLENTY of time and nothing else to do but clean dishes!
