2 hours!?!  I've literally eaten a meal and walked across the parking 
lot to another restaurant and eaten a meal. I've ordered breakfast while 
we waited for the lunch menu. (DWG and N. Adams respectively)  And, your 
body will crave, at some point, almost everything. The two things that I 
remember HAVING to have were milk and orange juice. My body knew it 
needed calcium and vitamin C and told me so.  I found that those Betty 
Crocker potato meals were pretty filling as far as 'on-the-trail' foods 
go. I don't really like Liptons or ramens.  I wonder what Shane would 
have to say about this.
