I am terrible at it but I love to play with colors, so they always go with me when we travel. And I will never buy a Christmas, birthday, or whatever card again. I have a ready to go box that is always packed....

I had a friend say to soak the wood in water first, but that just sounds soggy. Maybe one day I will try more than one way to see what works best. But not when I'm really hungry.

I have some pie irons... I think they will go with us. I used to make strawberry creme pies with creme cheese and strawberry jams and 2 slices of bread. Yum

We are getting ready to go out after a VERY long stay at home time. I normally like to cook out and about, but I was thinking more of the over the fire with a stick type stuff. I like the usual hot dog and marshmallows but also bacon wrapped shrimp and cinnamon apples. So my question is what do...

I carry an induction burner, a microwave and an air fryer. If planned also a tiny crockpot. Does the fridge count. I have a handheld emulsifier. I use it for smoothies or milkshakes mostly, maybe some time a margarita maker. The most used id the microwave.. It cooks everything almost and heats...

I wish for my family to get and be healthy. Ya world peace is a good idea, but not if we have another Hitler. Then no we gotta fight. Some things are worth fighting for. I want the world to stop polluting itself and ya, I know I am part of that problem too. But I am trying to take steps to slow...

But the USA does have some very reginal foods. So don't even think of ordering grits in the PNW or anything even like a Philly steak sandwich in a small town in Tennessee or a bowl of clam chowder fresh made in Ohio. It's all there, but not the "real" stuff unless you know someone... We went...

We carry 2 really ugly cheap bag chairs. They have to ride tied onto the back ladder so if they disappear one day it's no big deal. I too have a sore back sometimes, so I made a good stiff pillow to support my back. I also made a pocket thingy to hold my phone and book and a snack bag.... all...

Those look yummy and fun

Great blank canvases! I love them with hazelnut butter and jam and with salami and some good parmesan cheese melted on it or some tuna or chicken salad stuff. I always have a package in my bread drawer.

I had a kido a few years back that was allergic eggs, so I learned how to use fax eggs for cooking. It is usually in the baking section of the store with the Non wheat flours. They are only for baking, but they can be easy to use and don't need refrigerated.... Apples can also replace eggs so...

Curry sounds yummy to me too. And any type of soup is always good this time of year. A few years ago I started making butternut squash soup and it is one of my favs.... Not hubby though, he is more the stew type. Well and anything he can eat while watching football. I have several things I like...

I love fall foods--- hot soup, fresh applesauce, applesauce cake, hot fresh cider, and all things spiced. I am trying to think what would be good for traveling in my tiny van kitchen. I could make a tiny soup in my tiny crockpot or some cider to zap in the microwave and maybe If I can shrink my...

This may not help but we had a problem with our van bed too. It is on top of the bench seat in the back of the van. and we at first thought the cushioning on the beach seat was good enough. Nope not after the first night. the framework was VERY uncomfy so we got a good 6-inch foam mattress and...

While work is yes NUMBER 1, how and what and such. Next comes just what do you want to do while out and about? For everyone even if you answer that the same as 20 other people it will look differently for you. Do you want to avoid cities or explore them? Parking then is a bigger deal. Do you...
