Into the Box

Before our first trip to sea, we packed obsessivly. List after list after list, putting stuff into it's place a good month in advance. Now? We've done this so many times, we just toss it all in a day or two before it gets loaded. No inventory lists or anything, we know what we'll need. So we don't take as much anyway.

On an unrelated note, today the spouses' club brought lunch to the hanger, which they do about once a month. Today's theme: Oktoberfest! Which was kind of unfortunate, because we can't have beer during working hours, and the only food that they all made was sausage and saurkraut. I'll pass, thankyouverymuch, so I'm back at the barracks with my own meal.

I take it you're leaving soon!

Too bad none of the spouses checked the link you provided, which lists 2 more traditional Octoberfest foods, hendl (chicken), & käsespätzle (cheese noodles).  It's easy to find recipies for anything on-line now.  But I assume the meal was done pot-luck style, which sometimes results in great variety & sometimes in everybody bringing the same thing.  Remember the church pot-luck with a table full of desserts?  The-Family-Who-Always-Arrived-Late arrived with a salad as we were finishing!  And, of course, nobody brought dessert to the next pot-luck.
