As I say to a lot of people, it's a tour...skip the de France part
What's the rush? Gotta be somewhere in a hurry?
Honestly,
for me, cooking while on tour is part of the experience. I've found, over time, that I can't eat too much at once while riding so the evening meal is when I eat most. In the morning, I only boil water for coffee because I don't want to do dishes before hitting the road. But both times are times for reflection. While dinner is simmering (I tend to cook rather elaborate meals, sometimes using several pots even when solo), I write my letters home.
In the mornings, I like to sit and read my book over a cup of coffee before starting the day. I'm in no hurry. I on tour. I left the de France part at home
