Here is a non political question for you.  ( having said that, watch this 
spin off in some vegetarian vs meat eater flame war)

I am about to start stocking my travel trailer.  Now keep in mind I am not 
a cook.  Opening cans, slapping something between two slices of bread, and 
dumping some cheese on left overs is about the limit of my cooking 
abilities.  My typical breakfast is a bagel or some other toast and fruit, 
usually cantaloupe in season, whatever if not.

The trailer has a small freezer and refrigerator.  There is plenty of dry 
storage in various cabinets and under a seat.  The trailer has a propane 
stove and a microwave.  I plan to do as much boondocking as I can so the 
microwave will not usually be powered unless I can spring for a 
generator.  I am planning on a 120+ Watt solar system before a generator.

So what should I buy for stocking up?  I am looking for the canned goods, 
spices, etc that will not need refrigeration as it is currently not plugged 
in.  As for the refrigerated and frozen items, I just looked in the 
refrigerator and freezer to see what we have on hand now and built a list 
from that.  So any ideas?
