Boxed In

I've been practicing the art of improvisational cooking:  four ingredients and no heavenly idea where a knife could be.  For people who like to have the odd cookbook (Hotdish for 100?,  The Pleasures of Cooking for One, Eggs and that ever popular Potato), might I suggest a cookbook for the week before and four weeks after you've moved?

It could well include chapters like:

* Philipps or Flathead for your Stand In Spatula?
* How to rescue food from burning with your brand new oven
* You need wine
* Throw away those condiments
* What to with six packets of yeast
* Eat everything in a bowl
* Your gym towel as a stand in oven mitt (if you haven't been to the gym)
* Ensure - it's the drink for the aged and people who move frequently
* How to sterilize your box cutter if you need to cut a bagel
* Aren't you glad you have three dozen wine glasses?
* Have your Dad bring tomatoes

Just a thought.  I'm sure there must be others suffering through a corral of boxes.

Right?
