Cooking in a holiday flat

I have had plenty of time today to prepare for the week, get some food delivered from the local grocery and familiarize myself with the kitchen in our studio.  Why so much down time on holiday?  Well, it was always part of the plan to travel slowly and give the Tweens ample time to do school assignments most days.  But at the moment I have a sprained foot giving us extra rest.  Last night I scoured the Web for a coupon and created the list for a delivery of groceries (plus shoe inserts and foot brace) that arrived just as expected and at a great price.

This dish was made last night from easy ingredients from the corner market.  The veggies are presliced and mixed together but still fresh and crisp.  Boil the linguine, steam veggies, toss with butter and garlic then top with cheese. Much healthier and cheaper than always going out but still simple in the  mini kitchen with no oven or much of anything really beyond kettle, one burner and microwave.

It will be even simpler to feed us now that I have had a lay-up day to plan and prep after the nice driver brought all of these easy to fix ingredients:
