Nerdiness Quotient: 5/10 Freeze-dried and vacuum-packed ready to be stowed away on board. In addition to ready-made casseroles, we also had packages of freeze-dried minced meat, for use in pizza etc., scrambled eggs, sour cream, mushrooms, various vegetables and fruit. The freeze-drying means that it does not need to be kept cold.

Nerdiness Quotient: 5/10 Before departure on such a long trip with limited opportunity to shop along the way, and since we don't have a freezer on board, some preparations have to be made. Katrine has acquaintances who have a "machine" that freeze-drys food. She was able to borrow it and immediately started intensively producing dinner portions. This worked incredibly well. The dinners were mainly made as casseroles, with all the ingredients ready. Then they were freeze-dried in the machine before finally being weighed into suitable portions and vacuum-packed.
