How my Grandma packs for road trips

Awwww!!

Funny! Somewhat related, my parents are driving to visit me in a couple of weeks. I called them last night to check on final plans, and see if there was anything specific I should stock the fridge with for them. My mother has already been shopping, and has a box of food already packed. They live a half-day’s drive from here, and are just coming for a long weekend, and I HAVE FOOD HERE!

Two of my buddies and I drove to New Mexico from Massachusetts in a small car with no radio and no air conditioning in Auggust. We made it in 44 hours. In retrospect this was a poor idea.http://laughinginpurgatory.blo…

See, apart from the soup (really not practical), I’m like that. Except it’s not home-made… I like to be well equipped for journeys.

My mom is like that, especially when we go on road trips. She’ll make enough tea and sandwiches to feed an army.

Hahaha, I love your grandma =)

I had a greek grandma too, and if I was ever going somewhere overnight, she made sure I brought enough baklava to tile the driveway! But I think its just a grandma thing, not exclusively greek.

Indian Grandma’s: Theplas (round lentil and wheat pancakes), mango pickle, lemon rice, water at different temperatures, tea and coffee, four packets of home-made farsan (like cornflakes- but a hell of a lot spicier ;)), mixed nuts, at least 2 varieties of biscuits both with and without cream, mince sandwiches, chocolate cake and cold lime juice.
