Do not be seduced by those big-box come-ons, full of “complete sets” of extraneous cookware. A complete set is whatever you need, and maybe all you need is a wok and a hot place to grill your bacon.

At eleven, Kate woke Jake up when she went searching in the cooler for juice.

"You know, you used to be peaceful," he grumbled.
