LUNCH

Most people who have more or less honest jobs have come to think that when both hands on the clock are pointing straight up, it is time for them to escape from the confines of the office, and having no better way to waste an hour, head for the Golden Arches to take on their daily load of saturated fat and salt. Since the life of the RV traveler is no longer tied to the hands on a clock, eating a meal at noon Is one of the things which sort of gets lost along the way.

In the place of the greasy donut which they once bolted down while rushing to join the bumper to bumper traffic on the way to work, the RV nomad now has the time to sit and enjoy at least two cups of coffee before even thinking about what to have for breakfast. When they finally get around to eating, the sun Is usually standing high in the sky and they want something which will stick to their ribs for a while. After all, they might have to go for several hours before eating again, especially if they have to keep throwing fish back into the water after they jumped into the boat.

Even if they do want anything to eat at noon, it is seldom more than a piece of fruit or a very small snack After all, one does not want to take his siesta on a full stomach. For these reasons, I am enclosing only this one recipe that I came across for the noon meal; it is called;

COWBOY FISH DINNER

1 Can Sardines
1 Box Soda Crackers

Open sardine can with key. Place a cracker on the pommel of the saddle. Carefully lay one sardine on the cracker. Eat. Continue procedure until you run out of sardines, crackers or room in your belly. Lick fingers clean, wipe mouth on sleeve and drop empty sardine can down a prairie dog hole.

The reader can feel free to alter any part of this recipe to suit his tastes, location or temperament.
