And it's very practical, boiling eggs requires more water, something they must look to save, for it's being a desert and everything.
Given they are on a multi-month expedition, what would they have on board? Hardtacks obviously, maybe some pemmican and or cured meat, some pickles maybe, maybe even dehydrated potatoes, flour, refined sugar if that's around. Vegetable oil or butter salted to death. Salt, so much salt you wouldn't believe. On utencils: some knives and various spoons obviously, a skillet, some pots, maybe a dutch oven. Possibly a wooden bin for sourdough, because that's where poeple used to keep their yeast and lactobacillum - on the bin.
I have to say they look relatively light packed for their trip. A specially worrisome is that they seem to have only one barrel on board, so no redundancy for water.

It looks like a big wagon so quite possibly it has additional storage under the floor. Moreover, Alice said they were a few days from the next settlement so they can get additional supplies there.

No strip for the other half of the week.
Happy Birthday Jeph and best of luck moving.

Nonsense! I've played enough Oregon Trail to know that you just need a rifle, a backup rifle in case your first one gets dropped in a river, gunpowder, and enough bullets to kill everything on four legs until you reach your destination.
Kugai:
Not to mention the Hatchet and Knife.
