Eating while a house is under construction

As I sit here writing this, there are workmen crawling through the crawlspace and crawling on the roof and in the new kitchen. As construction goes smoothly, there is no better opportunity to write about what we are doing with no kitchen with two kids and two adults living inside of a construction zone.

Luckily for us, our laundry room is a floor below the construction so what we did was set up a hot plate, a toaster oven and my wife went out and purchases as $40 microwave, that was small enough not to get in the way of everything else. We also have a slop sink in the laundry room for dish washing, but most of what we eat are off of paper plates.

In the four days of construction I've eaten hamburgers made on the grill, fish made on the grill with french fries made in the toaster oven, and I've already eaten at 7-11, and McDonalds. On the bright side my wife made up eggs this morning on the hot plate.

I've also taken this opportunity to pick up a couple of books on grill cooking, since this will be our main source of cookery.
