Tomorrow I start my drive up north and while I’ll be in a campervan with a little gas stove and staying at caravan parks for the most part, it’s been so long that I kind of struggled to think about what easy dinners I could make. Couscous and some sauce it’ll be, and some soup packets. It feels a lot harder doing it for one person as it really doesn’t feel worth doing prep and cleaning, most times I’ve been with others and at least there’s some fun to be had roasting potatoes and what have you. This is just going to be bare basics… Probably nice for a change, really.

Wish I’d brought my aeropress though. Just to be that Melburnian out west

I like those little precooked rice packets too. And good old baked beans.

  Thanks!! Yes I did get two tins of baked beans (and two tins of mixed beans to mix in with … stuff. Worst case I can relive my uni days and just eat a tin of mixed beans with this seasoning mix I bought.) My aunt insists she will ply me with boxes of noodles and carrot/celery sticks etc for the first couple of days which is incredibly lovely of her. But I also feel like a child 😂

Stop into an Hmart or something on the way out and get some fancy instant ramen

  Oh damn I didn’t think of instant ramen. Always a handy idea. I’ve had a lot of them ol nissin Kyushu black ones when travelling. I think I’ll be ok with what I have though, will be a bit short on time tm morning and goddammit everything is more expensive in Perth it feels like. At least for those without the mining money…
