Additionally, he just killed a hog, so we are set in the meat department! Buy American, “Buy Mongolian” Although some MREs are tasty surprises, some turn your stomach!įortunately, when COVID-19 hysteria hit, my husband and I did not panic shop or hoard at our local grocery store. In America, we commonly refer to this delicacy as MREs. To his grateful delight, he finds British Army Rations. Humorously, the inept Clarkson leaves his colleagues to assess the food supplies for their journey. My husband has also been making 94% filtration efficient home-made-masks! Not perfect but significantly better than knitted, crocheted, and beaded masks! (Check out my article: “ The Best Homemade Mask“). He’s crafted adorable little wooden animals! To my delight, my husband has been busily working with his scroll saw. Recently, we hung bookshelves from Lowes. We have assembled an Ikea dresser and a cute Ikea crib. In preparation for our little bundle of joy, my husband and I have been quite busy building as well. “What a machine you are John!!” “John the Mountaineer of many places!” “The first car to ever pogo up a hill!” I am still amazed at their accomplishment! To my delight, they even named their trusty little vehicle.
In two days, Hammond and May assembled a self-built-off-roader! Part of the producer challenge on The Grand Tour Mongolia Special Edition included the three friends building their own car. Then add COVID-19 panic and “stay-at-home” orders, it’s pretty lonely. Additionally, we are still relatively new to the migrant middle of nowhere town of Kingsville, TX. That is a gigantic country! Mongolia is statistically the least densely populated nation! “Just 5 people per square mile!” ( World Population Review).Īs my husband and I sat alone having not seen friends for about a month, we chuckled and sympathized with the vast loneliness! We are hundreds of miles away from family. “Mongolia’s land area is roughly equivalent to that of the countries of western and central Europe” combined ( Encyclopedia Britannica). Let me first put this number in perspective. There is literally no one!Īs of 2019, Mongolia’s population is about 3.17 million. There is a staggering lack of people in Mongolia. This is actually the first realization made by Clarkson. With laughter and while shaking my head, I slightly sympathized with the three amigos! Truly, I’m excited for Richard Hammond’s favorite Lime Gin & Tonic or some warm rich whiskey! (Check out my recipes: “ Gin, Tonic, and Top Gear ~ Four Recipes“) Then we joyfully found out we were with child! So when our little boy is born in June, it will be just short of a whole year without alcohol. Last summer, my husband and I actually decided to temporarily abstain from alcohol during his final stage of training in Pensacola, Florida. On the Grand Tour Mongolia episode, Jeremy is flabbergasted! While frantically rummaging through the provisions dropped by the helicopter, the three friends shockingly discover there is no alcohol! I laughed so hard at their fear of 7 whole days spent without alcohol! By no means am I drinker like the trio of Clarkson, Hammond, and May, but I do enjoy a drink every now and then. And so the adventure begins! No Alcohol!?! Over the course of the next 7 days, the three friends seek to find the city of Moron. Their disassembled mode of transportation humorously drops out of the sky, as large crates parachuted from a helicopter. To begin, Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, and (my favorite) James May venture through the breathtaking backcountry of the Central Asian nation of Mongolia. I hope this light-hearted article brightens your day and that you decided to watch The Grand Tour on Amazon Prime! “Survival of the Fattest: Mongolia Special” Please enjoy the humor and know I do acknowledge the gravity of the situation but, especially in hard times, we need laughter. Last night, my husband and I hysterically watched The Grand Tour Mongolia Special, and couldn’t help but notice similarities to my pregnancy. Fun fact, I love The Grand Tour! Truly this silly blog post can only exist in the midst of a “stay-at-home” order.
