The Volkswagen of Veterinarians

A week ago we saw the Cadillac of veterinarians at the Colorado State University Veterinary Teaching Hospital, today we saw the Volkswagen veterinarian .  Emmi needed a refill of the antibiotics she is taking for the skin issues so off we went—the vet came highly recommended by folks here in the park.  Let’s just say I hope we don’t have to visit there again and leave it at that!

The cowboy has discovered a fixable problem with our motorhome—if it isn’t taken care of it could develop into a major problem.  The framework supporting the bay doors and the propane tank has weakened significantly from rust.  If you own a coach and the propane tank is located directly in front of the rear tires or directly behind the front tires—check your framework for rust—we are glad Michael did.  Our rig shows no other sign of rust and has probably never been driven often over salty or wintery roads.  Today after we saw the veterinarian we stopped by a steel place and gathered supplies for fixing this issue.

Do any of you use Pioneer Woman recipes?  I have one of her cookbooks and read her blog paying particular attention to the recipes.  A while back she wrote a blog about her favorite chicken recipes and one of them was Chicken Parmigiana.  I LOVE this dish making it frequently even in the motorhome.  Today I was lucky to find a zip lock bag of the sauce in my freezer—all I had to do was cook the chicken and pasta. 

Do you cook in your RV—I know some people who never cook in their RV, don’t want the food smells.  I can’t imagine not cooking in our RV—there are some things I won’t do such as cook bacon—but almost anything else is a go.  I carry the same pots, pans, skillets, knives, bowls, etc. in the motorhome that I have in my house kitchen.  I do miss my dishwasher!  Today while sautéing the chicken I opened a window and burned a candle.  If I want to cook something smelly/messy such as bacon I do it outside—if we have hookups, I use an electric skillet, if no hookups I use a cast iron skillet on our propane grill—works great.  I also use this method when cooking peppers/onions for fajitas. 

That was it for our day, Emmi and I took a nice long walk around the park this afternoon right before dark—very little coughing—could we be on the mend??
