Re: raw milk/good foof in St. Louis

[Guest guest]

could you take along a portable burner like this one?

I take LOTS of raw dairy along when I travel. No cooking is needed. Some dairy

products

like cheese, butter, yogurt, etc. are fine without refrigeration for quite some

time,

especially on the way there and when you are out and about. You could also take

along

some hard-boiled eggs.

When we travel (usually with 3 kids) we take a CrockPot (with a

carrying case we got separately) and food. I soak oats, etc in jars

and cook overnight. After breakfast, I put dinner on (chili, ribs,

chicken, all of that works and more) If you want eggs, my daughter

found you can boil them in the coffee maker in the hotel room. She

has also made custard in small jars (baby food size) in the coffee

maker. You could poach eggs that way too.

Having a fridge is great! Often, we are just working out of coolers.

It is important to remember basic utensils--it makes a big difference

to how comfortably you can do this. A good knife and small cutting

board, wooden spoon, a few dishes--all of this can fit in a suitcase.

And don't forget good salt. And good butter . . .(which you can

take on an airplane in a small cooler--or you can pack the meat and

butter frozen and check it. We have done this very successfully. You

can take milk this way too.)

If we will be somewhere where the food is really unpredictable, I take

lunch food too: cheese, good salami, crispy nuts, fruit. I might

roast a turkey breast before we go and bring that. All of this I can

pack in the lunch-sized cooler. I also bring empty water bottles and

blue-ice packs.

Good luck, and have a great adventure.

you could also bring along some pemmican and jerky. I know someone who, when she

brings

jerky, also takes along coconut oil for the fat content.
