Trailer life, cont'd

So our trailer comes with kitchen table, fridge, oven, freezer, microwave, sink and a bit of a counter. More if you cover the sink. Should work. So we’ve agreed that each trailer is responsible for a full-on meal one night out of three. Not so bad, you say? Well, first you open the fridge door. Once you’ve cleaned up the spilled yogurt container that fell out, you get out what you really need. Then you look on your list that tells you which storage place has the flour, rice, spices. You remove the cushions and board from the bench seat to find the flour, then go through the same routine with the other bench (!) to find the rice. then after putting it all back together, you remember to get out the pot from the first bench seat…. Then you find the rice cooker behind the bins under the sink, then you lay everything out on the table. So far, so good. Open the oven to take out pans you store in them, try to light oven and realize the propane isn’t turned on. Sort that out. Back to kitchen, remove cover from sink to find dirty lunch dishes stored after our quick lunch stop, get them started. Turn on stove and realize the one frying pan you brought is too small for all the salmon cakes you are cooking, jam them in anyway, Find spot for rice cooker on table knowing smoke alarm might go off. Realize table has to be set but is covered with food yet prepared. Cover sink up again for use as cutting board and hope to remember lunch dishes soaking, Remove battery from smoke alarm! Welcome F&T for appies, get out cloth napkins to go with plastic dishes, light candles, and enjoy!
