RV Dinner

Laura prepping dinner.

In my family growing up, my two sisters and I rotated through weekly assignments that involved cleaning the house, washing clothes, and cooking dinner.  When it was your turn in the kitchen, you were responsible for cooking dinner, washing the dishes, and keeping the kitchen and family room clean for a week.  As a result, I'm a pretty competent cook and one heck of a housekeeper.  When it comes to dinner, Laura does most of the cooking, not because I can't, but because it's a creative expression for Laura, being a professional chef, whereas for me it's just a job.

Our Safari motorhome's galley is more reminiscent of boat galleys than the expansive kitchen Laura has at home.  As a result, we've borrowed from our boating experience when it comes to what to bring, and how to cook.  One of those tricks is the $20 electric skillet.  We highly recommend it if you're trying to get by with just the two burner stove.

The Grill.

Weather permitting, we cook a lot of meals outside when traveling in the motorhome regardless of the season. We've enjoyed and hated a varied of propane barbeques.  Most of them never seem to heat evenly.  My normal maintenance with the grill, once back at home, is to spray the inside with oven cleaner, let it soak for a couple of days, and then use the pressure washer to risen everything off.  I've learned from experience that storing a dirty grill in the basement of the motorhome for an extended period of time can invite the discovery of a science experiment the next time you pull the grill to use it.

Laura's herb garden (bright green bin) started earlier in the trip from Farmer's Market finds, has been a prolific producer.  Laura has had a smile on her face every time she has stepped outside to harvest the fruits of her labor.
