Rations
People ask us how do we manage to cook in such a small space. Many wonder if we go out to eat all the time like we did living in Manhattan. Surprisingly, we actually cook frequently rather well in this very small kitchen.
As you can see, it has two drop-leaf counter top extenders and a double sink. The stove has three burners with a cutting board cover and above it there is a microwave/convection oven (love it). There is a double magnetic knife rack on the side of the cabinet next to the couch.
As to pots and pans; we have a big spaghetti pot with a colander insert and a steaming basket, a 12" frying pan, a 7" frying pan and a 3 quart pot. That's it.
When the weather
permits and we are not
parked in someone's
driveway or a public
space we do a lot of
grilling. We have been
using the same small
fold-up Weber Grill
since 2002. Whenever
we are in Maine or
along the Gulf Coast
where we can get live
shrimp and lobsters
Bernie builds a wood
fire and we steam the
crustaceans in
seaweed I have
gathered.
As a rule, we do not cook seafood inside the camper. Recently we were visiting with some nice fisherman on Lake Ontario and they kindly offered to give us a very large salmon they had caught that morning. Can you picture and smell that fish in our kitchen pictured above?
After the first few months on the road we realized we could not just grill steak every night. We decided to use a much local produce as we could find and to obtain recipes from people we met along the way.
