(22,252 posts)I actually did that. It was an actual kitchen but somewhat rudimentary. Over the years I cooked many a meal in that old place, usually for at least 30 hungry cavers. Some of the most fun I have ever had was hanging out with those folks.
Besides that, I can cook both with and without recipes, bake a damn fine cake, cookies or brownies, grow a garden if I need to, crochet, teach English, history or biology (and probably civics).
I have canned vegetables, made Kraut from scratch, as well as jam, jelly, preserves and pickles. I thank my grandmothers, aunts and mother for teaching me all these things when I was growing up in the country.
I suck at housekeeping so I need to be paired up with a clean freak. When I did that field kitchen, my partner came right behind me and cleaned up the mess.
