Yesterday was a busy day. I had to make a pasta salad for the Saturday night pot luck for the cruisers. That took all day. First, I had to drive 20 min each way to the grocery store. (Of course, on the way to the grocery store I had to stop at Bealls to look for a pair of shorts. That took an hour and a half.) When I got back, I had to set up the camper to cook. This involves moving everything off the stove to the couch, off the table to the patio and scotch guarding everything else. (If you have ever dropped an open container of salad dressing you know what I am talking about). The next hour and a half was spent boiling the water for the pasta because our stove doesn't generate much more flame than a small match. Then there was the ten minutes spent sweeping up dried pasta off the floor. Eventually everything was assembled and it was time for clean up. Here's where I truly embrace the American idea of everything disposable. Toss it all in the garbage and replace it the next day. (You are welcome China!) Of course that is not what happened. I just left the mess for later...
Fast forward to the pot luck dinner. A good time was had by all. And it seemed the effort I put into the salad was appreciated, because by the time we got up to get our food it was all gone. Except for one chick pea. Next time I will eat before we go.
