Cooking

About 25 years ago, we started vacationing for one or two weeks in timeshares with modern kitchens.  We would eat out a couple of times a week, but eat in the rest of the time.  Aloma never complained about cooking, but I realized this was certainly no vacation for her.  I offered to do the shopping and meal preparation while we were on vacation.  I didn’t have to offer twice.

I went shopping at least every other day, getting up early, visiting a WalMart, getting back to our condo by 8:00 a.m.  I enjoyed it.  Meals were simple.  Most condos had gas grills so I would cook burgers, hot dogs, chicken and pork chops.  Inside I would cook omelets, BLTs and meatloaf or Tacos.  No problem.

This year was different, vacationing for two months.  I still enjoyed the shopping early in the morning, but after two weeks, I couldn’t think of what to prepare.  The hardest part was to establish a menu.  We had a gas grill in the garage, but it was difficult to move out to the driveway so I didn’t feel like cooking out as much as we did at home.  Aloma didn’t want beef very often, so I didn’t have a clue what meals to offer.  But we got through 10 weeks of my cooking.

Neither of lost any weight.
