Camper cooking

Just a quick one to convey the culinary art/disaster that is cooking at 60mph. Successfully completed twice so far, the camping stove works great as long as all the windows are closed. As you struggle to maintain composure, balance and contents of saucepans you feel like a cook in the galley of a ship.

What didn't go so well, was the attempt to complete the dishes in such confinement. Wishing to be further relieved from driving duty, I got the plants out the bucket, I got water in the bucket, I even washed and somewhat rinsed the few implements and plates we had used, all without too much drama. But there was one thing I was forgetting.... what am I going to do with the dirty water??? I'll tell you what I did, in the interest of not losing any time, I rolled down the passenger side window and carefully got the bucket outside, holding on tight, tipped it up and bingo! - all the water is gone. Well, I'm not quite sure what the opposite expression to bingo is, but lets just say that some less enthused expressions were soon to be heard when the remnants of lunch suspended in the water were found to be stuck to the side of Buster, congregating on the windows of course. FYI we had had BBQ chicken for lunch and it dried to the van quick, yuck! Disposing of dirty dish water at highway speeds not recommended. Did anyone but me, need this helpful hint? :)

Next post is the update from our awesome weekend in FL....
