If you're Italian you could use the toilet seat lid for a cutting board? LOL

Many moons ago I did a lot of cross country driving (for business and
pleasure), I never liked to fly. I still have my traveling kit all packed and
ready to go; 20qt thermos ice chest (just the right size and not so big the
motels won't complain about the ice), plastic electric percolator, cheapo
eating utensils (spoons, forks, gas station steak knives), utility knife,
tongs, spatula, can opener, roll of heavy duty aluminum foil, a bottle dish
liquid,and my trusty $2 grill. When traveling I rarely ate in restaurants,
wasn't worth the risk ruining my trip contracting a case of the shits. Each
day I'd plan a stop in a larger town for a stupidmarket spree, where I'd stock
up on a day's worth of vittles; java grounds, canned soda, juices, milk,
cereal, muffins, bread/rolls, fresh fruit, couple onions n' potatoes, and
whatever meat looked good... perhaps a nice steak or a couple pork chops,
sometimes I'd even lower my standards and get a package of mystery ground for a
giant burger... and whatever else in the aisles attracted my attention... and
I'd make sure my charcoal supply was sufficient (most every stupid market
carries briquettes all year). I'd usually begin driving before sun up so I'd
stop at a Super 8 early enough to prepare dinner... never found a Super 8 yet
didn't have a grassy spot where they'd permit me to light my grill. One of my
favorites was to make up a foil packet containing sliced spuds n' onyuns, s n'
p, and a pat of butter... when it was near ready I'd slap on a steak or
whatever was my special of the day... and often I'd pick up the fixin's for a
nice salad too. Much better than eating fast food crap or at some diner where
chances are they'll treat you to a case of the runs.
