We never put food we ate in the logbook - it is not very nautical - but, I had years I wrote down what I ate in my diary. Not anymore, though... That's a lot of eggs in an island chain where eggs are very expensive. :-) Do you plan menus for every week? That wonder bag might help make yogurt as well! Our oven had the same issue: on or off, and a lot of turning things around when baking. We were baffled to find out that baking a pizza in a "normal" house oven only takes 10', while on Irie, it took about an hour! I hope you manage to fix your stove top - I couldn't imagine living without that for any amount of time! But, you guys appear to be very creative!Liesbethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13402741679152508367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1717926498377706091.post-8116475025846900762017-05-02T09:33:20.720-07:002017-05-02T09:33:20.720-07:00Man.

Trying to feed him with a full kitchen and whatever supplies is tough enough. He won't eat the same thing every day, and to top that off, I've had to try to find meals that he'll like and will be diet friendly for him. I think I'd prefer a simpler menu. :)Loni Townsendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05126958230703180761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1717926498377706091.post-13261139083876714842017-05-02T08:59:09.566-07:002017-05-02T08:59:09.566-07:00I have the opposite, my oven isn't working, an...I have the opposite, my oven isn't working, and my stovetop does.

That's almost so impressive it's frightening. I am not a good planner. I provision by going to the store, buying whatever looks good, finding a place to store it, and then figuring out what I'm making on the fly. I have, of course, until now only cruised for a few weeks each summer. But it worked then. It's all I know. Your oven reminds me of the one we had on Moonrise. I learned to adjust the temp by propping the door open less or more. Fun times.

We aren't too much different except that we can shop a lot more often when traveling in an RV verses a boat. When we were traveling in Spain I heard about something like your "cooking bag" but I believe the one I looked at also comes with a "special" pot as well. I am thinking of buying one for the motorhome because as you know we like to do a ton of boondocking and it will save one the propane for the oven/stove top.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.travelwithkevinandruth.com" rel="nofollow">www.travelwithkevinandruth.com</a>Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1717926498377706091.post-2772008262075561852017-05-01T07:55:48.288-07:002017-05-01T07:55:48.288-07:00My lunch is always the same, so I could handle the...My lunch is always the same, so I could handle the same breakfast.<br />I don't think we'd have to worry about onions going bad.
