On my last trip to a hotel, I was very unimpressed with the hotel food<\/a>. Add to that the rough past few weeks<\/a> (still not done with), and believe me, I do not want to go through this again!<\/em><\/p>\nThe solution: a kitchen<\/a> in a suitcase<\/a>. It’s a bit of a challenge. Firstly, I hate to plan ahead this way. I should be getting things together now, but I’d rather write about it. It has to go on an airplane (let’s hope they don’t loose this suitcase – I can do without my cloths, but not my food!), so I have to consider space and weight. And silly international regulations.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n I will be attending a very intensive course for five days, so there actually won’t be time to cook. This will have to be a compact, light, nutritious<\/a> set of meals that can be made quickly and easily.<\/p>\n Breakfast<\/a> is easy. Just boil water, add it to some instant oatmeal<\/a>, add salt, seeds and nuts, and I’m done. Note – I’m wheat-intolerant, not gluten-intolerant, so I need not debate the safety of oats.<\/p>\n Lunch<\/a>, I’ve decided, will be repetitive, and therefore boring. Rice<\/a> (which I will cook in the morning), and canned meat. Not bad once, but I will get tired of it … I might possibly thing of something better before I leave, but I consider lunch taken care of.<\/p>\n Dinner<\/a> … well, it will be rice and … canned fish maybe?<\/p>\n
