Cooking on Vacations

Do you cook when you are on vacations? I mean when you rent a house with a kitchen in which you can cook your own food? I haven't done this yet but I'm considering it because it could save us a lot of money while on vacation.

Who "gets" to cook? Who gets a "vacation"? Think about it. Yes it can save some money. We did a lot of RV vacations, back when. My wife finally decided she wanted a vacation too.......

We have rented self catering accommodation but we have limited the meal preparation to things like rolls and cheese/ham for breakfast and then had our other meals out in restaurants. I don't want to be cooking and washing up when I'm on holiday!

DW explained to me over 42 years ago that she did not cook on vacation. That is still our policy. occasionally we will buy food at a local store or grocery and have a picnic at a lovely spot.

Also, we don't care for the continental breakfasts that most motels serve for free. That is a case where you get what you pay for.

A big part of our fun on vacation is scouting out local reataurants. We try to stay away from the national chains as much as possible.

Yes we do! Well, I don't know if I would exactly call it real cooking because we usually just get simple things that take 10 minutes or so to make like Mac and Cheese or sandwich items. We will buy cereal and milk as well. We also get lots of snacks. I think it is a great way to save money on a trip because eating out more than three times a day drains the bank. Plus, when we buy food to make at the place we are staying at, then we don't gain as much weight on the vacation. We will still eat out for usually one meal a day because it is a vacation and that is part of the fun!

I cook on vacation, simply because I enjoy cooking. I cook almost everyday, so it would probably throw me off if I stopped cooking for a few days. Granted, I don't cook extremely difficult things while on vacation. ;)

We go away each year to the beach and we do cook (not every night though). We always rent a house and then stock the kitchen. It's cheaper to cook some meals, eating out every meal is outrageous! If we rent a hotel then we don't cook.

Foods with softer cell walls are the most vulnerable to being damaged while frozen and while unthawing: that's why leafy green veggies aren't so easy to work with. With meat, you have a few options.

The vast majority of our vacations were either backpacking or in a camper which typically means you fix your own food most of the time. Last year we went to Kauai for our nieces wedding and cooked some of our meals in the condo we rented and ate out half or more of the time. Niece used to be a vegetarian but now eats limited portions of fish, fowl, pork, and beef so some of our eating out with her was still quite healthy. OK, except for the visits to a local ICE CREAM FACTORY.

Actually we like the motel breakfast in the motel chain that we usually stay with while we are on vacation. We try to have a big breakfast and then a minumum lunch on the road, and quit early enough to dine out in an interesting place. As far as cooking, heck, we don't do that good a job while we're home.

I buy a lot of series, but thisThe L Word DVD is the best I致e ever bought. I am completely worn out sheets, since I bought the series individually. So now I have to buy a whole bunch of compression. There are many causes and issues in this case, in addition to what you would have seen other programs or news, Desperate Housewives DVD and I think that is a part of it is simply wonderful. You fall in love with characters and I hope someone out there would be another program just as strong and deep as this Series L Word is life, love and friendships with a group of lesbians living in Los Angeles. Medium DVD Cast is excellent: Jennifer Beals Erin Daniels, Leisha Hailey Laurel Holloman, Mia Kirshner, Katherine Moennig, Pam Grier, Rachel Shelley and Daniela Sea， to name a few. Itç—´ also a guest star Cybill Shepherd, Steinem, Ossie Davis, Billie Jean King and Snoop Dog. Weeds DVD Every part of the series is a first class photography, set design, costumes and plot. Music is one of the best I致e heard in each series. I never realized there were so many talented female artists. It also seems that many famous artists such as the heart. a series of agreements with several serious problems with gay: coming out, adoption and gay parenting parents of gays coming out of the army and trangendering by a female dog. Plus put a lesbian point of view on issues common to us all: Cold Case DVD love, relationships, monogamy, promiscuity, breast cancer and discrimination in the workplace. It also makes a point of view of lesbians on issues common to us all: love, relationships, monogamy, promiscuity, breast cancer, and discrimination at work. It includes women in all age groups: their early twenties to their mid-fifties. I was pretty naive, transgender, and was quite impressed by the struggles of Max as he goes through the transition. fight breast cancer by Dana is absolutely heartbreaking.

Yes, we cook for most of our meals when we get to our destination. The cost of eating out is just too high compared to a grocery bill. Steak or seafood dinners with a salad, or just fried bologna sandwiches, or sausage biscuits with eggs. We enjoy cooking for ourselves. Especially the high-priced seafood places along the beach! Who can afford $35 each for a seafood buffet?

If we rent a house on vacation we cook. Especially at the beach were there is plenty of fresh seafood available. But other than that we usually go out for meals.

We go on Caravan (Trailer) holidays and cook most of our own meals there.

It isn't ideal, but it still works out fine.
