What to bring for the kitchen if flying?

[jmatias]

I always bring my small microwave rice cooker (can't live 2 weeks without short grain rice and buy the rice in the store in Japan); small packets of soy sauce, mustard, mayo, and catsup; salt and pepper; lots of zip lock bags; half used roll of plastic wrap; small bags of add water seasonings (teriyaki etc); a disposable cutting board; tea bags; furikake; and a couple cans of Spam

Hey Juju!

You sound like you are from Hawaii You know we can't live without Spam

thelobstershanty: In Hawaii...Spam became very important during WWII as a food source...it goes really well with rice...which is another staple. The State of Hawaii is the largest consumer of Spam in the States....I'm not sure that's something to be proud of but its the truth

We use Spam to make something called Spam musubi which is rice with a piece of spam...usually some teriyaki sauce or furikaki mix all wrapped up in nori ( seaweed). If I'm not too tired I make some up in the mornings to take into the parks for the kids.

You find spam all over here....from McDonald's to nice restaurants.

Aloha,
Jen

I have been known to bring baggies of spices. If I am planning on fahitas - I would not buy chili powder, cumin, red pepper, black pepper, etc. I would just bring little snack bags with needed spices for the recipe. Making a sauce - I would not buy oregano, basil etc - just a baggie with the ingredients.

I have also been known to fly with - coffee, filters, sugar, bagels, peanut butter, jam, laundry detergent, snacks. LOL
