KRAFT'S IT'S PASTA ANYTIME Universally panned. Florence called it "the archnemesis of your Italian grandma," and Casella thought the 3-min. pasta was "starchy" and remarked the sauce was "bitter and desperately needed salt." All noted that pouring a jar of sauce over home-cooked pasta would be tastier and about as simple...

...down on the grass and cut up salt pork--which is essentially really, really fatty unsmoked bacon--for a stew, using a split log as my cutting board. I don't know exactly how this stew will taste, but I am pretty sure it will include toothpicks. While I am chopping, I take my first bite of hardtack, the unspoilable bread substance the corps took with them. It's whole wheat flour, salt, water and a drop of butter, baked very crisp. And it's delicious, like a health-food-store wheat cracker. It would go great with goat cheese...

...splintery salt pork in a pot with some cornmeal, sage and water to make what my new friends call "Pork and Cornmeal Stew" and what I call "Fatty Fat Fat." Actually, it isn't that bad. This is the first of many demonstrations that anything made with pork fat tastes good. The corps mostly used bear grease, but pork grease, Leandra figures, is a close approximation, and I get the feeling she knows what she's talking about. By the end of the afternoon, I have eaten more lard than I have eaten altogether in my entire previous life...

...worst thing we eat is ashcakes. I mix cornmeal with a bit of salt and water, form patties and slap them onto a rock in the middle of the fire, which allows them to be covered with yummy carcinogenic ash. They are perhaps the driest things I have ever eaten--and as a child I would often be caught eating sand at the beach. "Oh Lordy, that's dry. It sucks the tissues out of your mouth," says retired plant ecologist Jack Taylor, after putting up a good fight with...

...sure, a taste for fire is not always a sign of pathology. According to clinical psychologist Marcel Chappuis, a consultant with the Salt Lake City Fire Department, most boys (possibly 90%) and a handful of girls (maybe 15%) naturally develop a fascination with flame between ages four and seven. Most of these "curiosity fire setters" soon find other interests. But by nine or 10, as many as 20% of these kids may still be lighting fires, thrilled by the power of the blaze and the excitement of trying to control it. The trouble comes when the behavior persists even longer...
