We always have breakfast and mostly lunch in the trailer. Anything from scrambled eggs and sausage to cereal and toast.... Or from pb&js to grilled cheese. One morning we decided to have muffins for breakfast. Max mixed up some yummy streusel muffins and popped them in the oven. They were supposed to take 20 minutes or so. It ended up actually taking twice that time... And I even kicked the oven up 50 degrees! Clearly the temp on the oven knob and the actual temp inside the oven aren't the same. Grin.
As for dinner, we have eaten in some. I dug out the crockpot and made a great stew one night.
But we also eat dinner out or at the Phillips. Tonite we tried a Mexican restaurant just around the corner from the rv park. The locals told us that any restaurant with the word "Jalisco" in the name means that it is a family owned and operated place. The one we went to this evening was Taqueria Chapala Jalisco. Oh. My. God. It was good! And the prices were very reasonable.
Dishes in the rv are another matter. We didn't want to bring all the stuff to stock a kitchen with us, so we rented a "kitchen kit" from the rental agency..... Plates, bowls, silverware, pans, etc. After the first day, we quickly switched to paper plates and bowls. Yep, that required yet another trip to Walmart. Grin. There is so little counter space in the trailer that I was having to do dishes quite frequently. And there isn't a dishwasher built in. Dang it.
After using the rental skillet to make scrambled eggs the first time..... And then spending a fair amount of time scraping the stuck on egg from the bottom of the pan, we decided to invest in a skillet of our own. Yep, that resulted in yet another trip to Walmart.
We've learned a lot about living, and cooking, in a very small space. I wouldn't give up my big kitchen permanently. But for travel, this has worked very well.
Cheers!
