Here is an idea for anyone who has ever rented a vacation home or condominium.

Part of the reason for renting a condo rather than staying at a hotel is so that you can have the convenience and economy of doing some of the cooking. So when you arrive you go to the local market and stock up. It then becomes extremely irritating to have to buy a 16oz bottle of cooking oil or a 12oz ketchup because you know that you will use only a tiny portion of them. Somebody needs to put together and market, in Hawaii, Aspen and places between, a “Condo Condiments Pack.” It would include oil, salt, pepper, ketchup, mayonaise, mustard and something like Lawry’s Seasoned Salt. All in small sizes. The target price would be about ten to twelve dollars. Maybe some rental agents would supply it free as a builder of good will. Maybe someone like Lawry’s would take on the marketing.

Thanks to Cathe D. my barber (hair stylist?) for this idea.
