Dave’s Lunch
Well, we are surviving in the trailer without any major difficulties (save a few leaky window corners). On the ‘glass half full’ side – it’s very easy to keep tidy. As long as I keep up with it, it’s not a big hassle. No storage of course, but we keep bulk items in the shed on the other side of the driveway and can restock easily. On the flip (glass half empty) side, it is prettymuch impossible to cook a decent meal onaccounta there is no counter space. So one-dish casseroles have become my friend. We have an outdoor BBQ too, but used it sparingly during fire season.
What? You say – This is the 21st century girl – what about a microwave?
Well I fried the microwave. We borrowed another one. I fried that too.
So now we are using a toaster oven for small stuff. Of course we still have the trailer oven and stovetop, but am trying to keep the clean-up at a minimum so I don’t use the oven much. This may change. We’ll see.
The cats are adapting, as cats do. This is Dave – occasionally he gets his own meals.
Chipmunk a la pine needles
(Jake took a video of this as well, but it’s too gross, what with the bone-crunching and gut-slurping sounds. So I’ll just post the still and you can imagine you’re own sound effects.)
