Some of you may remember that I’m used to making the dog food. I did stop for a few months at the end of the renovation because it just was too much to do in the RV. Very small space and very little room for storage. I started again when we moved in and it’s one reason I am loving this kitchen so much – all the space! I’ve got a huge pan for mixing, plenty of room to cook more than one thing at a time and a full size blender instead of my little Magic Bullet. The only thing I was still using was the tiny, plastic scale that a friend got at the dollar store in the US. It’s great, it’s small and light – both things that are very important when you live in an RV. Not so much when you live in a house – convenient, attractive and useful come to the top of the list then.

So, I’ve been looking at scales. The newer ones look convenient but kind of ugly. I don’t care whether it is a digital read out or not, I just want to portion out the dog food in more or less even amounts. I kept looking at the scales the vendors use in the market, really nice looking and, like my juicer, they appeal to me esthetically.

Meet my newest kitchen appliance. Cool huh? I love it. It works quite well. Last night was dog food night and I made 8 days worth for 3 big dogs in a couple hours. Weighing it and bagging it have never been so easy.

Making it is still a big mess, and with all this space I manage to mess up a lot more. I do want to say that I clean it up myself, I don’t leave it for Gaby. I do manage to usually do it on a night when she is coming the next day, so the floors get mopped.

This batch was barley, carrots, zucchini, a couple bunches of chard, a head of garlic, ground linaza and 3.5 kilos of ground beef. Yum.

Mimi left last night for Akumal and I’m about to leave now.
