Warm Thoughts



Last year on this very day we were packed and on our way to Costa Rica
to celebrate my retirement and for a lovely warm get-away with friends.



Today my cupboard doors have been flung open and
I am packing for the RV kitchen pantry ... warm food coming soon.





























Some meals on the menu will include:
Steak
Pineapple Chicken
Crock Pot Ribs
Rice Pilaf
Pasta Crab Salad
Spaghetti
Slow Cooker Apple/Fruit Crisp
Chili Dogs

I'm premixing some of the meat rubs,
dessert toppings, home made mustard ingredients,
etc. to make it easier on the road and also so I don't need 
to pack too many spice ingredients in their original large containers.

Also trying to be mindful of what foods we can and cannot
take across the boarder.
A grocery list for once we are at our destination is growing.
Can't wait to taste the fresh citrus fruit, sea food, and produce!


She is waiting patiently for us to fill her cupboards and travel somewhere warm!



Eek!  What am I forgetting???
Will the oncoming March Lion Winter Storm hamper our plans?
We'll see ......... thinking warm thoughts.

Till next time ......... looking forward to sun rises, high noon sun, and beautiful sunsets on the beach, and making many more warm memories!

  3. Oh what a fun prospect! You are planning very well. Those spices can really add up if you try to purchase them for a recipe. I wonder how far south you are headed...
