We are setting off on a Christmas Holiday. The whole family that is. My partner, his 8 and 9 year old children, who are vegetarian, my son who’ll eat anything, my partner who loves healthy food and me with my SCDiet requirements. I guess for anyone who is on the SCDiet this would sound like the ultimate challenge. And so it is! So I will keep you informed on how I cope with this. We will be away for 9 days. We have tours booked nearly every day, plus a Christmas lunch at a major hotel, offering buffet.

 So two days to go and I am making a fresh batch of yogurt (1 liter) to take with me. I will stick this into a flask and put it into my stow away luggage. That will give me time to go shopping when we get to our hotel and get another batch going when we get there. I imagine I will find a cupboard in which I can place one of the night stand lamps and use that as my yogurt incubator (I’ll let you know how it goes). We have booked a three bedroom hotel unit with kitchen. Tomorrow I will make a batch of chewy macadamia nut buscuits. These I might have to hide from the horde, as they all love them. I have also frozen 3 crusty onion rolls, which I will take with me on the plane and store in the refridgerator at our hotel for sandwiches, when we go on our tours. I’m also taking my homemade dijonnaise and sweet chilli sauce with me (I have put enough into two small plastic water bottles and am putting them into a cooler bag into the stow away luggage as well).

*Note: must take 25 w light bulb for table lamp and must take my cookbook.

So stay tuned for the first installment which will be Thursday.
