The plan: I will plan, shop for, and bring everything for breakfast & lunch, boyfriend will pay for fancypants dinner. We are both happy with this arrangement.
The issues
-There is no grocery store near where we're going. I will bring everything in the car (3 hr drive), store it in the fridge in the hotel. I don't want to bring the instant pot or anything big like that. Just food, plates, cups, etc.
-Boyfriend is a vegetarian
-Boyfriend is suspicious of bread. I can't make it the main starch source more than once.
He is such a weirdo.
so, three breakfasts. I was planning on bringing oats, cream, and berries, plus coffee & fixings. Bam, done! But no. Boyfriend is worried about this being boring and likes eggs for breakfast, at least once on the trip. Is there a way to cook eggs in a microwave that you guys recommend? Google has some ideas but they look sketchy. I'll test some this week, i guess. Microwave eggs here I come!
Eggs, yoghurt, and fruit could be really good.
Three lunches:
1. egg salad sandwiches. I'll pre-prepare the egg salad and bring bread. Veggies on the side. Maybe fancy cheese in the sandwiches?
2. homemade ramen: miso paste, ramen noodles, tofu cubes, veggie bits. Delicious. It's not that filling, though, so I want some sides. Anything that you usually eat with ramen?
3. I ran out of ideas. Other peoples' food preferences are annoying. (mine are charming, obviously)
I'll bring tons of fruit and snack stuff because snacks are my jam.
