No eating in the car? Eeeks. No strawberries or raspberries fed to me whilst I'm driving? :cry:

Well, I’m driving, and anyone putting food in my mouth while I’m driving is a sure way for us to end up in the ditch.

More to the point, though…new car, so it’ll be a year or so before she’ll be ok with eating anything in the car. She’s only just agreed to coffee in spill-proof travel mugs!
 
Plan today is to drive all this food (and the food listed above) 6-7 hours to Chambersburg, Pennsylvania:

Cold stuff:
Half-and-half
Maple syrup
Powerade
Pop
Cheese
Trail bologna
Salami
Ham
Wine
Cherries
Grapes
Tomatoes
Cucumber
Celery
Carrot
Dip
Picked
Olives

…and again, nearly all of this is all for a single lunch stop (wine, teabags, half-and-half, cookies, and popcorn are for the room).
 
And we’re off!

Plus the back seat is full-ish.
 
I'd been awake about 3 minutes when we had a power cut. :hyper: Sometimes, it only lasts a few minutes, but after 90 minutes, I decided that I had to get something for breakfast. Off to Carupanadas,two coffees and a domino (cheese and black beans) empanada.
Now I'm going to watch the Test match between England & India.
 
Raining and drizzling so it's a good kitchen day, aren't they all? Jar up some chutney, cook some mayacoba beans, make peach tarts, and come up with some kind of protein for later. I've a deli audit in a bit so that might be the protein, depends on the audit guidelines.
 
Plans today are a visit to Mr. Ed’s Elephant Museum & Candy Emporium, scouting three housing communities around Gettysburg, stopping in at a real estate agent’s office to get on their mailing list, popping into our favorite Christmas shop, and probably an early supper at a restaurant we saw the last time we were here.
 
Following a couple of phone calls last night, I've finally, it seems, jerked a couple of chef mates into action.
First thing is an Indian Street Food evening at a local restaurant. Great friend, I've known him for about 35 years, ever since he was an apprentice, but he's not very communicative, so I have to kickstart him into action. I spent the morning painstakingly writing down all the dishes and all the ingredients required on a spreadsheet, and now I'm cross-eyed and my brain hurts, but the spreadsheet is done. Meeting at 2pm so we can work out (a) which dishes we're going to make and (b) cost them.
This evening is going to involve preparing a rough draft for the Indian food book introduction, so that tomorrow, I can meet with my partner/author-in-crime and get the project moving forward, at least into second gear. At the moment, we seem stuck in the traffic.
