Condiments

After what seems like a lifetime of trial-and-error, we feel like we're getting a few things actually figured out as far as how to provision our Tiny Home, The Mosey Inn.  For the past year or so, we've settled in on six primary non-refrigerated condiments, plus salt and pepper, of course. Comments are below each photo.

 Here's our Six Pack of non-reefer condiments: (l-r) Safflower Oil decanted into a hot sauce bottle; pure sesame oil; worcestershire sauce, lite soy sauce, Zaaschila Habanero Hot Sauce and Cholula Hot Sauce.

We now prefer only Safflower oil for a variety of reasons to complex to discuss here.  The sesame oil adds zest to many of our camping meals.  We tend to buy cheap worcestershire sauce.  Ditto lite soy sauce.  But we might be changing.  We might decant better quality worcestershire & soy sauce into these bottles.  We each have our own favorite hot sauce.  I love my Zaaschila and she loves her Cholula.

 The key thing is keeping these condiments corralled.  If they aren't tightly contained, they roam around and spill all over the place.  We bought this container at the dollar store and it works perfectly.  It also contains the inevitable spillage and seepage into one place.  Periodically, we wipe off each bottle (especially the oil bottles) and then wipe the container clean.  This helps reduce potential for mold and bacterial growth.

 This is how the condiment container fits into our overhead above the sink area.

 Salt and pepper containers are notorious for making a mess.  We've finally found a way to corral their nefarious traits and bad behaviors.  We tend to use regular store salt because it shakes better than gourmet salt blends.  However we buy the best grade of fresh ground black pepper we can find at specialty stores.  Nothing quite amps up a camping meal like really good ground pepper.

This is how the salt/pepper container is situated with the condiment container. All-in-all, we've found this combination to be our most effective method of carrying common condiments without making a perennial mess in our overhead area.
