I too am a rice cooker aficionado, can't do without it for our trips.. yes, it is my much-needed chai bartan and I too take rice, home made upma and semiya upma mixes, I take puliodarai mix, and a box of tadka. I also take pasta packs. We also buy frozen veggies from the vacation place and add to these items. I also carry a pocket knife, tomatoes and chutneies for the sandwiches.Loved reading about your adventures..must have felt so rejuvenated. <br /><br />AnuAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31821541.post-1986633635604738802013-08-21T19:24:14.396-04:002013-08-21T19:24:14.396-04:00Awesome Pallavi!

So serene and peaceful...just perfect for a relaxing break. I don't have many tips to share but yours will come handy when we will be travelling with in-laws as they would prefer a khichadi to any restaurant's risotto or homemade theplas-pickle instead of some tacos. I would happily eat outside on a break and don't miss homemade food one bit, I donno, maybe I am weird that way.<br /><br />When the two of us go for camping we carry a coolcage/igloo with some homemade and some store-bought goodies and if I miss carrying a big jar of homemade chiwda my hubby reminds me of it throughout the trip no matter how many memorable meals we have at restaurants. :P so that is a must have for our happy journey. <br /><br />We carried a really small electric sandwich maker/very compact panini maker on our last road trip to warm up the theplas or frozen parathas, toast some bread for sandwiches or have some grilled brownie with a scoop of icecream :P <br /><br />- PritiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31821541.post-11838708163402599302013-08-21T09:20:27.256-04:002013-08-21T09:20:27.256-04:00wow enjoyed u r fantastic ideas.nice place.wow enjoyed u r fantastic ideas.nice place.meenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08029092405289422249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31821541.post-72996353185096759482013-08-21T08:33:42.824-04:002013-08-21T08:33:42.824-04:00You are hilarious!

H...I did not know such a word as glamping exsisted! Here is India we have several of these places rural exteriors with luxury inside. Most of the time these are very expensive places. Your pics are lovely. You sure had a relaxed time. As for me I hate to cook when I am on a holiday. Oh yes and the camping has been a dream but I remember may be only a couple of times I actually did it. Also your post reminds me of old days when my family did a pilgrimage, we'd stay in dharmashalas and would carry everything from a stove and vessels and supplies and cook wherever we stayed. It was fun then because I was a kid and I did not have the responsibility of cooking.Anjali Kolihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01461685370304758571noreply@blogger.com
