Connie, your kitchen to go is well executed and you did a wonderful job writing about it. Lots and lots of people are going to benefit from your effort, including me. Many thanks. I think one of the best qualities the toolbox kitchen has is convenience. Everything you need is portable and preorganized. I have a similar item in my own inventory I call my "ready bag". It contains a jumbo first aid kit, duplicates of all the toiletries I use, disposable raincoats for four, extra underwear, etc. Its primary function is to provide everything I need for an overnight trip except extra clothes, which are easily gathered together on the spot. Fast, convenient, easy, and I never leave crucial items at home anymore. Oh yeah, the ready bag frequently finds itself on board for adventures, short and long.

The biggest expense for the tool box galley was the tool box itself. All the rest of the contents was accumulated from our "Give & Take" section of our Transfer Station (also known as the Industrial Supply Agency), from Tag Sales, or courtesy of European airlines - the plastic wine glasses, nesting cups, and the individual salt and pepper shakers. Of course, the contents should reflect your eating habits. As a long distance car travel "must have" it does a great job. Breakfast in the motel room; lunch at a Rest Stop picnic table with elegance......... and everything you need is in the "box". Like all good boat equipment it should have at least two uses, and this certainly does. Go built one and enjoy car and boat luxury. Connie
