RUN

The Army Ten-Miler Virtual Race is one we saved for this week as we celebrate Veterans Day, which was on November 11th.  We are well past the deadline to submit times but wanted to run this one to honor those we know and those of you in the Runcation Nation who served or have family members who served.   We break down the swag bag, medal, and run on this week’s episode.

EAT

MREs (Meals Ready-to-Eat) Genuine U.S. Military Surplus are on the menu this week.  We’ve never had them.  How are these meals?   Worthy of our soldiers?  We tried two varieties and recorded our live reactions this week!  The first was chicken, noodles, and vegetables in sauce.  The second was a beef brisket entree.  We talk about these MREs as items to consider when we are hit with a natural disaster, much like we have a hurricane kit with some canned goods in case we need them.  These MREs have a longer shelf-life than some canned goods do, so they may be options that are worthy of consideration, although it may take some time to find a variety suitable to your palate.  

DRINK 

Black Rifle Coffee has a reputation for making great coffee and supporting our veterans.  This week we share with you another variety that is available in our hometown.  We picked it up from Shoot Center here in Cape Coral. It is called CAF Coffee Roast. It is smooth and has a caffeine punch!  We also tried their Combat Cocoa Canister.  The cocoa is milk chocolate goodness perfect for a cold fall night when you need a comforting beverage.  You can make it with regular milk, but we had it with almond milk, and it was delicious!  

THAT’S A WRAP!
