Packing for this year’s sportlov ski trip.

I have an extensive packing list, with sub-lists for all situations: summer or winter, skiing or walking, hotel or self-catering. Kitchen utensils are the most important part of the self-catering list. The place where we stay is nearly certain to have some kind of pots and pans and spoons and a cutting board. Maybe even a bowl, although that’s not a given. But it’s almost certain that the knives and scissors will be dull, and whisks are definitely not guaranteed. (The whisk is good for making scrambled eggs, and the deciliter measuring cup is for porridge.)
