Fabulous video, as always, Eunice! If any of you are traveling and want to wash dishes on the road but don’t have room for dish soap in your liquids/checked bag, try this. Before your trip buy one of those scrubby sponges. Get it wet, put dish soap on it , and lather it up then let it dry without rinsing it. When it’s dry just cut it into useable pieces and put it in a zip bag. When you need to wash a dish just wet one of the pieces. You will have a scrubby sponge with dish soap ready to go. When you’re done you can rinse and reuse it or toss it.
Hey there, I have been following your channel for a while now. I am a dentist and I think you have a common condition called angular chelitis on the corner of your mouth. Go pick up some 1% clotrimazole cream (sold sometimes as athletes foot medication). Put it on the area several times a day and really goop it on before bed. It should clear up in a few days. Many people try to put Vaseline or antibiotic ointment on it. This will not work as it is a fungal condition. I get it every winter. Throw away any lip balm that you may have or you will reinfect yourself. You can instead cut off the top couple of millimeters of the lipstick or lip balm that might be affected. Use a q tip to apply any products until your skin clears up. Sorry to be in your business but I see this all the time and so many try to treat it incorrectly. Hope this helps! Love all your videos. You are the best!
Thanks so much! It was a cold sore. I occasionally get these when I do a lot of flying. I’m not exactly sure why that happens but I always related to the amount of radiation exposed to an apply because I also get them whenever I have x-rays.🤷♀️
You are a true renaissance woman! I would love a video of your garden and how you dry your garden veg and berries. So smart and practical. Thanks again!!
I’m like you 🌱. I take fresh herbs and other veges from the garden and dry them in a dehydrator and store in air tight container. Use in my Ramen at work. In winter I take a bag of mixed frozen veges and dry in my dehydrator and drop in boiled bouillon in a cup- makes great vegetable soup.
I toasted bread on my tiny George Foreman grill in the hotel earlier this week to make BLT sandwiches for my kids and myself. I didn’t put anything on it, just dry toasted it on both sides. It came out great. I also took an 8” Dash griddle and made quesadillas, which was a great supper after staying in the pool late. I remember about 5 or 6 years ago when I first started bringing little appliances with me to cook in my hotels, I couldn’t find anything about it on RU-vid, but now I really enjoy seeing how you cook in your accommodations as well. Hotels usually only have a fridge and possibly a microwave, if you’re even lucky enough to have either of those. That’s just not adequate. I love eating out, but not every meal. I was so tired after swimming with the kids and the last thing I wanted to do was get dressed and go out to a restaurant. I was so grateful to have planned ahead and have a quick easy meal and a way to cook it. Plus, we ate in our jammies and then watched a little movie and went to bed happy and rested up for an adventurous day out the next day. Thanks for sharing! I love how you do this. I also have an electric pan similar to yours but it’s a simple model that only regular cooks and boils, no popcorn maker. That was really cool.
I haven’t bought my Dash cooker yet. I need to find more recipes for it. I agree…sometimes you just want to eat in Jammie’s and watch a movie! Nothing wrong with that😊 eating out costs so much money these days and it’s not healthy! I’ll cook in my room anytime! 💕😊
@@Pennypacker0602yes! I do it all the time! I put a silicone potholder under to protect the hotel surfaces, and I also move away from the smoke detector, but also watch really carefully that nothing is burning and if I need to turn it down, I do. You just have to be careful not to burn anything because especially if you turn it on high, it will cook fast. Same with the Dash mini appliances, they can cook faster than you think, so stay with it at all times. As long as you don’t burn anything, it’s just food smells, so maybe be aware of that and don’t cook anything that is going to smell up the whole floor you’re on. Also, I buy the pre-cooked bacon. It’s easier to carry with me when I’m traveling, but also since I only have to heat it up, less chance of burning or smoking.
Thank you so much and I’ll tell you that cookpot was so handy that I might just have to bring it on all my travel adventures even if I’m doing carry-on only! I’ll give up clothes to be able to have good food🤣😂
I like my bacon crunchy too. I always bake my bacon. So you could use that toaster oven to bake the bacon while you fry your eggs. Bake at 400f for 15-20 minutes.
All of those meals looked so yummy. I like my bacon crisp as well and I make toast the same way you do in a fry pan with butter. That bread your daughter in law made looked delicious and and marmalade is one of my favourite things to put on toast. Your steak was cooked perfectly and what a beautiful presentation topping it on the salad.
Your channel is delightful! I hope that you enjoy it as much as we do! All of your tips are also great for college or university students who need more space or are trying to save money. Thank you for all your do!
Very nice cooking items for traveling and short-term stays. If you like Fish, Blackened Style Fish, Salmon, Cajun Style Fish, etc., those portable Hot Pots are perfect for cooking your favorite Fish. They even make great Salmon Patty Cakes to top a fresh Salad or as a Cold Sammie with Mayo. Your Hot Logic also cooks a nice Fish meal too. Of course with Fish (fresh or frozen) you do have to watch and check it often for doneness.
Im really enjoying your videos and have gotten lots of ideas. No toaster!? Its right there on the counter beside you. They call it a "toaster" oven. But, I love buttering and toasting bread on a skillet. Delish. Growing up, there was no toaster in our house, so toast was made in the oven. Butter one side and put it under the broiler. So good and I bet your preserves would be so good on that.
@@donnaingram2871 yeah I forgot there was a toaster oven there and I never used it! I was so intent on trying to make sure that this could do so many things for me😊
Eunice, you know you are Mary Poppins, right? :) You are amazing, and I'm glad to see another lady who takes some food items with them on trips. On our trip to a Colorado chalet, I made a flat kitchen pack in a 2 gallon baggie with chinette plates, napkins, coffee filters, salt and pepper packets, tiny pack of cinnamon, etc. for a family French toast breakfast. This slender packet fit nicely in the outer pocket of my suitcase and saved from having to buy the extras we would end up throwing out at end of trip. Love your videos!
I wanted to thank you for doing this video. I am currently on a very restricted diet (AIP) and will probably only be able to re-introduce some of the food I used to eat. And I was already starting to feel sorry for myself that when I travel, things are going to suck food wise because I now can't eat a multitude of food. You've inspired me to just get more organised and take what I want with me. Thanks so much! You are truly inspirational.
@@MariDorot I am so happy you got some great ideas to help you eat healthy on your travel adventures! I have some food dishes as well and that’s what prompted me to do this, and I’ll hopefully be making a few more cooking and travel videos to help people like us who want to eat healthy or have restrictions when we travel💕😊 thank you for taking the time to and providing your feedback💕😊
New sub here so I've bingeing your videos- love them all, great tips. Did you film your daughter in laws process for her sourdough bread? That bread was epic! Highly suggest to share that! Thank you!
Thank you so much and welcome to my channel! I am so happy you are enjoying my videos and I truly appreciate your feedback. I did Phil my daughter-in-law doing a little bit of sourdough but not the entire process. She is a shy, so I probably will not be putting that video on the Public channel, but probably on my Patreon channel.😊
@@yourtanktopfriend777 oh my gosh, I’m so happy you appreciated the little B roll of me walking through the woods! My trips always have more than what I show and I’m always a little bit cautious about things people think are boring, but I agree with you being outside and taking a walk in the woods can be the best medicine💕😊
Nice setup. I see you like your bacon the same way I do - not quite burnt, but almost. I also save all my bacon grease and other meat drippings for cooking. Since I never check bags, I don't travel with such an elaborate setup, but I've just finished putting together a full kitchen in a Stanley metal lunch box for road trips. For air travel, I make do with my Sea to Summit X-set lidded pot and dish/cup set, an immersion coil, and a stasher bag. One important thing I learned from you is to carry a P38 can opener with me everywhere. And a folding cutlery set - made of wheat straw, so it's not going to set of any TSA alarms. Also, a ceramic knife cannot be picked up by the security Xray machine. I'm glad of the suggestion for the sparkling water maker - thank you! I don't drink pop/soda, just wine and sparkling water (the latter I often mix with homemade shrubs), and those cans get heavy to lug home! Steak salad looks great! - Itadakimasu!
@@ItOneFilms hi there! And welcome to theory of simple! So happy to have you as part of this channel and community! I’m so glad you found us and you were going to get some great travel, hacks and gadgets here and sorry not sorry about the Amazon cart🤣😊💕🙏 I hope you get some great use out of the gadgets that you purchase.🙏
Thank you Eunice! OMG, I LOVE your content so much and only wish I knew you when I was homeless for a bit living in a hotel after my brother passed. I'm okay now and so want to set up travel plans. Dumb Q: Where can I find the Kitchen Utensil bag? I have some of the items in my cart now. Sending lots of love for safe travels always, Cynthia ❤✈🧳🎟💌🙏
Thank you so much! The bag is just an old plastic bag that had some sort of toiletries that came in at one point. You could probably use any clear plastic bag or any bag you wanted to carry the utensils.😊
I bring baby food pouches!!!! I'm on a low protein diet (kidney)...so I will switch to the "bites" versus my usual powdered pharmaceutical grade amino acids. Also, plan to bring Butter Buds! (Butter essence, NO FAT, mix with water!)..I use BB's on popcorn!!
This is great! I have a similar setup I take when we camp in our couples RV. I’m curious, and I apologize if you’ve already covered this and I missed it somehow, but when you travel by air, how do you pack it? How big and what does it weigh? It doesn’t seem like it would be a lot. I would love to take some things to do this when we travel just to help cut down on eating out so much.
Thank you so much. I’m actually traveling right now so I don’t have it with me, but if you go to the link in the video description, it will give you all the details on the pot. With regard to packing it, I just put it in my suitcase and make sure that I have some thing like it towel or clothing around it to keep it a little protected.😊 I actually did a video a few months ago and in the beginning, it did show how I packed it in the suitcase so you may want to go back and try to find that one. It is a video about doing some cooking while I was in Dallas in April.
Nice video Eunice. I would love to know your Ranch seasoning recipe. I was thinking that bacon grease would be tasty in place of the oil you used to cook your popcorn. Safe travels.
I haven’t done a video on that yet, but it’s so easy. I just take the fruit off of my trees and wash it and then set them on a clean white cloth to get the extra moisture off and then put them in a food dehydrator.😊 I store them in my bags with an oxygen absorber💕
If your butter powder says it needs to be refrigerated and you’re using it in the mix, then I would say yes it needs to be refrigerated. The one I’m linking to in the video description does not need to be refrigerated.
If I’m flying anywhere except the United States, it will go to liquid bag. Because I have TSA pre-check I do not need to keep it in a liquid bag or show it or take it out when I go through TSA security.
