Not Moved Into Camper Just Yet
I was looking back on a piece I had written about the pros and cons of moving into our camper (see Moving Out To Camping Out), and it made me laugh, which also made me start thinking about other things I could write about. It's funny how one small thing could activate your brain into thinking loads of other things, just enough to make your brain frazzled. For example I wrote in that piece about not having a big enough fridge which made me think about the many supermarket trips I will have to endure, and then it got me thinking about what sort of meals I would be producing from the small camper stove and barbecue, which then made me think that I would have to surely touch up on my culinary skills for barbecue cooking. I do have a limited amount of dishes that I have produced by using a barbecue which include sausages, burgers, steak, chops, kebabs, vegetables, onions, pineapple and sliced potatoes, oh and I forgot, I have also cooked bacon and eggs on the thing. Not exactly gourmet and not exactly evident of my usual and great culinary skills.
What to do? Buy a barbecue cook book? Do a barbecue cooking class? (who would even do this?), practice on our barbecue? Or just get Dave to do the barbecue cooking and I'll stick to the stove? We may be limited to pasta from the camper stove and microwave or burnt sausages in bread cooked by Dave on the barbie (he only knows burnt when cooking on the barbie).
Hopefully the weather will be better when we do have to move into our camper in six weeks time, for when I have to cook outside and hopefully by then I will have practiced some barbecue culinary skills and produce great tasting and interesting feasts (which doesn't include burnt sausages). For now though, I am going to be grateful that I haven't moved out of a house and into a camper, just yet.
