One burner gourmet (Drive Day 1 minus 14 years, 31 days)
There won’t be room for Julia, Martha or Betty in the camper. So I’m taking Sirena. She’s the Mexican Loteria mermaid gracing the cover of a notebook that will serve as our portable defense against truck stop food.
My mom kept a journal of our family’s first trip down the Pan-American Highway in 1973. Her notes about what we ate each day terrify Gary. Up ‘til now his idea of camping was a bad Holiday Inn. So I write to his mother Angie for recipes I can adapt to one burner and a cooler instead of a fridge.
