Eating During and After a Move
Once you start packing boxes, it’s easy to get carried away and end up with no pots and pans around. When it comes to packing away the kitchen, you basically have two options: you either leave some basic stuff around so you can continue to cook, or you rely on delivery and your microwave to get you through. In both cases, you will still need to keep at least a bowl or plate and some cutlery out.
Another good option is to keep some take-out menus around and simply order in for every meal. This may turn out to be quite expensive if you’re packing for a week, but should be fine if it’s something you need to do for just a couple of days. This is also the best option for right after the move, when things are still packed away in moving boxes and you don’t have the time or energy to look for them.
Finally, you can also plan in advance and make sure you have enough stuff in the freezer to get you through. If you cook, double your recipes and freeze the excess, so you can just pop it in the microwave when needed. If not, buy packaged meals (anything from pizza to veggie burgers to Lean Cuisine dinners) that can be done in just a few minutes without any extra ingredients.
