...in a car. and it’s costing more or equal money to... eating to go food
.
I hope this gives you some ideas!
.
a)
We signed up for e-coupons.
Examples:
* Arby's gives us a lot of free food : half-price sandwiches, free shake and fries, free birthday meals.
Occasionally, the kosher presses the 'wrong' button, the system crashes, the staff throws up their hands in desperate despair, and our entire order is on-the-house... because of the aggravation tax.
Just one advantage of an absentee owner letting the help run the joint.
.
* TacoTime gives us : free and half-price meals with free shakes, free tacos with a burrito meal, that sort of behavior.
.
* Local-owned family-operated Thai restaurant Cho Pro Ya gives us free birthday meals, beverages included... for me, plus Very Significant Other, plus Frequent Yummy Third, our entire party.
.
Irregardless of which food source, we are always heavy tippers.
.
.
b)
However, our preference is home-cooking.
At the rig, our current favorite is a pair of identical Coleman two-burner propane camp-stoves... about us$36 each on sale.
We are also rigged for our induction hot-plates.
.
We generally prefer outside cooking first, then cooking on the porch second, and inside cooking last.
In one section of our introduction, we have plenty of portraits of our summer kitchen.
.
.
c)
All our kitchen ware is cast-iron, including Dutch ovens and skillets.
Our skillets usually come from yard-sales, and immediately visit Goodwill-SVdP for glass lids.
.
After smoothing the cooking surface, I heat the cast-iron using a propane torch.
This burns away all the existing 'seasoning', grease, and various excrement from prior users.
.
My seasoning:
* I heat the pan in the oven to about 350°f for a half-hour, then
* shut 'OFF' the oven, then
* coat the pan with coconut oil, then
* it goes back into the hot 'OFF' oven -- door closed -- to gently cool overnight.
.
An aside:
Too many cast-iron skillets come with a horridly-awful cooking surface.
The joke is 'I snagged a nail, I can rub it on the cooking surface to smooth it!'.
I see slicker sidewalks...
.
Accordingly, I invest an hour or so on each skillet, smoothing the cooking surface using a hand-held DA (for 'dual action') orbital sander with a 40-grit metal disc.
q -- when am I satisfied?
a -- after the cooking surface is a mirror.
