One
of the biggest upheavals during our recent kitchen remodel was
planning how to feed the family with our kitchen out of commission
for about 10 days. What I did was set up a mini kitchen in the dining
room. I put the table against one wall and put my microwave, kettle,
toaster and grill on there. I also bought a plug in hotplate. I
planned ahead and cooked some meals ahead of time that I could freeze
and then reheat in the microwave. Things like stew and casserole. I
also made a few stirfry dishes on the hotplate which worked out
pretty well. We never had to resort to to take-out although we did
eat at my mother's house on one occasion. It was summer, so we also
grilled out a couple of times. The main issue was washing the dishes.
I had to do it in the shower which is not really idea. I ended up
steam cleaning it afterwards because I just felt a bit ick! Apart
from that we survived pretty well. I tried not to use meals that were
going to leave a smell lingering in the dining room.
I
think that forward planning goes a long way in most situations. If we
are prepared then we can breeze through difficult situations. I think
this does for lots of things, not just preparing for a kitchenremodel! Think about when we have to take a trip, when we have
someone in hospital or any number different situations. So with that
being said, I have a new motto...
Be
Prepared!
