On the road again

ROAD TRIP COMING ON !
We are really, really, for sure..leaving on a road trip...tomorrow. We are going to cook our way across Canada. Funny thing is, when we moved back to the city the thing I was looking forward to the most was eating out! I can count on one hand how many times we ate out in the last 2 yrs , I found the city to be to noisy...to fast paced and to crowded. So I resorted to ordering in a couple of times a month usually Chinese or my fav food of all pizza. I have discovered in the last year that I have an intolerance to wheat so there goes the pizza . Most of you know that Terry lost his job....no work for him right now, so a road trip it is . I don't want to eat in restaurants (I can't believe I just wrote that) so I decided I would cook most of our meals. I also want to tent it for part of the time and spend half the time in hotels so now I can control the food we eat. I have become a *food snob* lately after discovering I cook food way better than what I would order in a restaurant. Not the fancy dinners but your basics. I want to save our food budget for seafood when we hit the east coast. Here is where we have a difference of opinion, Terry wants to hotel it and if we don't he thinks we should bring a microwave with us (real man type camping!!) So this reminded me of something. Back In May 1997 we had a free boat, 1969 14ft with 45HP motor, we had 2 teens, 2 adults, and a dog. The boat didn't have a ladder and I had difficulty getting into the boat from the water so our solution was....lets just buy a boat with a ladder..right..logical thinking, why just buy a ladder. Well the next problem was..we had no where to store the boat. August 1997 we bought the cabin..we just needed a place to store the boat!!! Now this is where I go back to our difference of opinion..do we tent it or do we hotel it..we compromised...we bought a trailer..logical thinking don't you agree? Now here is the next issue... where will we park the trailer? Well....my type of logic says...why not store it at the lake ? As some of you know we put the cabin up for sale.....maybe it is just not to be! (insert smiley face here).
