Hey Kevin,

 

We have a funny spoof on Animaniacs Good Idea Bad Idea for 30 hour famine. Not sure if it's worthy to go up on your blog but if you're looking for more material :)

Unimix recipe

UNIMIX Recipe

 Unimix is a food mixture that is often provided in emergency feeding centers to extremely malnourished children. Due to their fragile digestive systems, children are given this type of food that they can easily absorb into the body until their strength starts to return. Many groups use this for the Break the Fast meal. The following is based in percentages from the Unimix ingredients:.

 

30% maize (or corn) meal

10% oil

10% milk powder

40% beans (mashed or ground)

10% sugar

Here's my modified recipe:

Cornmeal porridge based off Unimix recipe
Servings: 10-15

Ingredients:

3 cups cornmeal (one container of the Quaker 24oz is about 4 cups)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk powder
4 cups of beans (eg, kidney, pinto, garbanzo. I mixed 4 cans of these, drained.)
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup oil

1. Boil 8 cups of water with 1/2 tsp salt in a 6 quart pot.
2. Stir in milk powder and cornmeal. Lower heat to medium low.
3. Keep stirring (about 3 min) then remove from heat.
4. Stir in sugar.
5. Stir in oil.
6. Stir in beans.


Note if you are making larger amounts: The amount of liquid is not necessarily multiplied by the same number that you multiply the other ingredients. For example, if you multiply everything by 3, to boil 24 cups of water and add 9 cups of cornmeal, then add 1 1/2 cups of oil, it's too much liquid. I recommend that you mix one batch at a time instead of trying to make one huge batch. It will also be easier to mix. Also, *most* people will not be feasting off this after the fast, so don't don't count on people eating more than a half or one cup serving.
