Maybe, but how will I make hummus with out a small food processor? or smoothies with the fresh berries we find, without a blender? So I have chosen small and light appliances, and decided that as long as we have the room, without having to cram items together, then I am going to take them. For the shellfish we find ,or catch, (and yes, if need be...buy) we have a large pot with a steamer insert. For our daily meals, we have a wonderful cast iron skillet that we can use in the oven, on the stove top, or on the camp stove.
I am also planning on bringing my sourdough starter, so we can have homemade bread, and have some to share with others we meet along the way. (I will let you know how that is going in future blog entries, so keep your fingers crossed.)
Yesterday I took all the food out of the pantry and made a list of everything we have so we know what we have on hand and it will be easier to plan out menus. As you can see, we have a lot of basics and will need to add fresh veggies and protein and we will have some amazing home cooked meals.
As hard as it is to believe, I was able to get all this food back in the pantry Charlie built and it fit perfectly. Let the meal planning begin!
My goodness, would you two please "hit the road"! You are so well prepared and now you are stir-crazy and organizing the organized! I mean, even Charlie is out re-washing the tires and painting them with tire brite stuff! Yikes, what fun Monday should bring. And Cheri, you might be able to sleep better once you are on the road...no little black critters flying around your bedroom! Have a blast and post maps and pictures EVERY DAY! We love you, Buz & Jan
ReplyDeleteSince I'm officially out of school, I'll have the luxury to check on your blog regularly--so post something already! :)
ReplyDeleteDaniel and Mandy stopped by today to retrieve your vases; turns out they really belonged to the florist and they wanted them back!
As I let them in your house, I was a little sad. My first summer without you, Cheri! But at least I know you are in good company. Love to you both, Jan
I am with Jan, post something already! Love you guys and hope you have a wonderful time. Enjoy every amazing minute!
