Do you have an essential travel gadget?

Right that's settled . I'm going on a Lemoncello hunt this weekend . I shall start at the cheaper end of the market and work my way up to Waitrose . I hadn't planned on cooking with it Mamie and confess to never having ever cooked duck but your recipe does sound rather delicious.

The Lidl one is pretty good. I have had better, more expensive ones, but fine for cooking. Sometimes I rub the duck with half a lemon and put the other half inside first.

haha! A unintentional limoncello fan club. Is the Lidl one any good? I'll have to try that recipe Mamie. Yes, to the Kindle, that's another lifesaving travel gadget. Would like to get a spray misty thing too grannyknot. I always get so hot and bothered when travelling, that sounds like it might be just the ticket.

Multiple socket strip. There are never enough sockets for chargers etc

Bottle opener and a torch.

gilly it's techy's own fault for mentioning Limoncello

You can get it in Waitrose - so presumably other supermarkets too!

Gillybob we buy Limoncello in Lidl when it is Italian week. When I roast a duck, I take it out, pour off the fat, de-glaze the pan with limoncello, then pour it over the meat. 'Tis delicious.
Essential travel gadget? I have a large plastic crate permanently packed with holiday cooking equipment.

When we lived in Jamaica we came home every year. Packing was an art involving bathroom scales. We took ages to do it working out how to keep the Marmite and cheese safe. All the epats were in need of things from home. One.of these little.scales would have been so useful.

Sorry for going off thread techygran

Thank you for your advice River sadly too late for that particular bottle . I will be looking out for it though. Do you know if it is available anywhere in this country?

No particular gadgets but just to say that I love Limoncello!

Just in case you don't know gilly and presuming that you haven't yet drunk it all, it's best served very chilled so keep it in the freezer

DH and I never go anywhere long distance in the car without the satnav. It makes our journeys so much easier and saves a great deal of stress (I am not very good at map reading and things have been known to get heated at times). But these days we leave the mapping to Jane and arrive happy and relaxed. So far we have never been directed into a field or a quarry yet

My sister brought me a bottle of Limoncello back from a recent trip to Italy and I could seriously become addicted to it techygran

Dee-bloomin-lishus !

Not a gadget but I take a spray mist thingy for my face when I travel long-haul by plane. It's just so lovely and hydrating. Will look up what it's called if anyone is interested.

H always takes his "head light" as hotel bedside lights are rubbish for reading (I have my kindle)
If going by car I always take my memory foam pillow. Why do hotels have really soft pillows ?
