The Most Travelled Food!

We've been away from home for a month. Deciding to switch off the fridge when we left we packed the contents of our fridge and freezer into our travel fridge and set off for Cape Town. This is a pain as, at every overnight stop, we have to find a fridge and freezer to store the stuff overnight as our car fridge only works when the car is going. So it was into the car at Rustenburg, out at Britstown, in as we left Britstown, out and in at Jane and Charles as we spent a night there to say hello. Out into the fridge at the CT flat and - totally untouched - out again a month later and bck into the car. Out and in again at Jane's as spent 3 nights there saying Goodbye, out and in at Trompsberg and yet again in the Drakensberg at Dragons Peak where we are presently staying for 4 nights. I swear, if we haven't eaten it by the time we leave here I shall donate the lot to the maid here! We had a bit of a disaster leaving Jane's on Tuesday as Robert didn't realise that if you plug the plug one way it heats the "fridge" and the other way cools it. Of course he chose the heating side so when we got to Trompsberg the butter was pooled in the bottom with everything standing in it! Yuk. I got rid of a lot but most seemed fine - until today when I made tuna mayo sandwiches with mayo that had been in the fridge (oven!) and we are now waiting to pay the price!! Seem fine so far though but the mayo got chucked out. The well travelled bag of potatoes has grown sprouts, the bread grew green and orange mold and the yoghurt was positively off!! Next time we go walkabout we will empty the fridge into the arms of some of our starving millions before we go (and whadda ya bet OAP insists on all home cooking!).
