Hey, you don't want, by any chance, to detour to NYC and have an SCD

get together, do you?

Just thought I'd throw it out there.

Marilyn-

Have a great time on your trip. Your e mail was perfect timing for

me personally. My husband and I are contemplating traveling for a

long weekend with the kids, but we are incredibly intimidated on how

to prepare food, and what to bring, etc. We'd be staying at a hotel,

no kitchen. Does anyone else have any tips?? We are will only have

been SCD for about 2 months when this trip will occur, so we are

still somewhat limited in our choices. Thanks for the help!

Hi Marilyn!

Have fun! Have you guys been planning this trip for a while? I'm so

happy you can do this after your surgery 'n all! How are the

sleeping/pain issues going?

Also, your menu sounds FANTASTIC. I hope to be able to prepare that

one day for road trips too. My husband was just asking me this

evening if I thought I would be well enough to leave the city for 3

days. I remembered people having a fridge in the car- what model do

you have?

I think I could have some basic food prepared to go but still I am

worried. Your menu really inspired me as to what can be possible for

me in the future!

Have oodles of fun..

Kim,

We have a refrigerator that plugs into the cigarette

lighter.

I have a " kitchen box " with a toaster oven, inexpensive

silverware, plates, cups, toaster oven trays, etc.

I make entrees and/or vegetables and pack them in snap top boxes, then

freeze.

I make Krivel Krackers and dips.

I carry my own butter, mustard, etc.

Take a heavy duty extension cord and plug the toaster oven into the heavy

duty socket in the bathroom. Make sure the toaster oven is cool and out

of sight in the kitchen box before you leave for the day.

As for what you take -- it's whatever you're eating now, but packaged for

travel.

You'll forget stuff and have to go out to the nearest Wal-Mart for

something. I have done it so many times, I now have a nearly complete

kitchen box of duplicates! <g>

We plan to have a good time.

Jodi,

If you're interested in knowing what the conference we're headed for is,

see

www.albacon.org. A

number of our favorite authors will be there, and the conference chairman

is a friend of ours dating back to the 1980s.

We have a large camping fridge that plugs into the cigarette

lighter.

Just pack three breakfasts, three lunches, three dinners, and take a

toaster oven to heat things up in! If you can make it all the way to

Israel, you can manage three days! Oh, and, er, don't forget something to

eat off... I did one time, which is why we now have plates and silver for

the kitchen box! <g>

I did test positive for sleep apnea, which interestingly, can be related

to IBS. I had the titration Wednesday night, which is where they fit you

with a mask, and then you go to sleep and they figure out what pressure

you need to not have breathing problems. Now I just have to wait for the

pulmonologist to make that determination, tell my doctor, and get the

prescription written, and get my machine.

I'm not looking forward to becoming a " hose head, " but if it

will solve the pain issues, and put me farther on my way to full health,

I'm all for it. After all, eight years ago, if someone had told me I'd

give up all grains, all potatoes, all sugar, all starch, beer, and ghu

help me, CHOCOLATE, I'd've said they were nuts. But here I am... SCD and

loving it. Because there is NO food worth being sick!

Dearest Marilyn,

Isn't it wonderful to be well to be able to travel and leave home, and feel well!!!

I am excited for you and Harry. If ever you want a place to stay, just let me

know. _________________________________________________________Loving Care, Gay CD-1994,SCD-1997, No Meds, 1998 Indianapolis, IN

Do you mind posting the recipe for breakfast quiches. That

sounds good. Also, do you use little liners for the quiches?

Or just grease the pan?
