The main idea of using "manual" appliances should be self explanatory...not needing to use ELECTRICITY! I have found that there is great satisfaction to not having to be "plugged-in". Meaning that Boondocking places are far more available and being off-the-grid saves those dollars for more food, fuel and entertainment.

Three-Bean Pasta Salad

We combined two potluck classics—pasta salad and three-bean salad—to make one tasty new side dish. Blanched celery is the unexpected star in this side dish; it has a tender-crisp texture and bright green color. Swap out the canned beans for your favorite cooked field peas.
