For three weeks in that kind of kitchen set-up I would happily live on hot and sour soup, noodles with veggies and hoisin sauce and veggie rice. The occasional sausage sandwich if I was feeling extravagant but that's about it. Maybe a 3-ingredient curry with couscous or quinoa instead of rice? (as you can cook it via soaking in hot water/stock). Plenty of fruit obviously, and choccie treats - tick!DJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07095948528595308574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25669750.post-26941816772463957552009-01-18T05:26:00.000+10:002009-01-18T05:26:00.000+10:00The ANU campus looks very green and pretty.

Microwave apple crisp, banana oatmeal chocolate chip bars, curried chickpea potato soup. Pretty simple ingredients too.The Vegan Snorkelerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06958270399264954662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25669750.post-6336858632015156692009-01-18T05:14:00.000+10:002009-01-18T05:14:00.000+10:00Hmmm... how about stuff for a grilled cheese sandw...Hmmm... how about stuff for a grilled cheese sandwich?

When I'm travelling I tend to skip the veggie burger/sausage options and go for either sandwiches stuffed with hummus, peanut butter (peanut butter doesn't need fridge space!) and salad or quick cook noodles and veggies and nuts. I spent a month or so at the end of a year in Lima with just a microwave and kettle - spicy noodle and veggie satay (peanut butter) broth got me through! I travel light....but I always travel with a full pepper mill. ;-) Hope the work is going well.Sojahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17582607262568399412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25669750.post-10991227888952964672009-01-17T19:29:00.000+10:002009-01-17T19:29:00.000+10:00I'm not much help in the way of meal ideas beyond ...I'm not much help in the way of meal ideas beyond beans and rice and pasta. I do know there's a Supabarn in the city (I still mourn the loss of Supabarn) and they have a relatively okay selection of veg friendly foods (or at least they did when I left). <BR/><BR/>There's a food co-op attatched to the Uni as well, I never managed to get there when it was open but maybe someone on campus can tell you when it is? They might have a few things and are just across the road so at least in walking distance. <BR/><BR/>I'm sure you'll be super glad to get back to your kitchen when you get there!Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01418079315150652057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25669750.post-79119122535320565172009-01-17T19:13:00.000+10:002009-01-17T19:13:00.000+10:00looks like your stocked up nicely!

I was in a similar situation a couple of years ago (also a visiting-grad-student kinda situation)... along with my weekly fruit-and-veg shop I think I relied on canned beans and tomatoes for making burrito-like things, also curry pastes. Buying good salt and pepper after the first week made a world of difference - your dukkah is a brilliant idea!Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07147906610629741961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25669750.post-40212170159751049892009-01-17T10:56:00.000+10:002009-01-17T10:56:00.000+10:00Whew, that is not a lot of resources.
