Protect your noggin with RV cabinet corrals

An odd-ball friend of ours is full of quirky expressions. One of his favorites when surprised is, "Great jumpin' Jehoshaphat!" On opening an RV cabinet door after a jolting road ride, he let out a rather more colorful expression when the jumping was done by canned and jarred goods onto his head. Yep, those kind of surprises can be painful--but avoidable.

Here's a quick, easy, and inexpensive way to keep all sorts of goods corralled in those upper galley cabinets. Take for yourself a stock of empty and clean gallon plastic milk (or water) jugs. Using a sharp utility knife (my wife doesn't allow me to play with her kitchen tools), whack the top half off the jug and toss it out. Now use the bottom half to "compartmentalize" all those little jugs of ketchup, mustard, olive oil, hot cocoa--well, you get the picture.

Held in by the constriction of the former moo-tainer, your condiments won't be as ready to bring out colorful comments.
