I have had a similar scenario when cooking for two of us in my van for
12 days.  My companion was in the early stages of dementia and things
kept going 'missing', only to turn up next day in the most unexpected
places.  That included items of food, so changes to a planned meal had
to be improvised as I went along and I had to always bear in mind what
to do if something we had bought for supper just wasn't there when I
needed it.

I've learned to double-check the ACTUAL availability of ingredients

 The problem was that the vegetables were there on the worktop when I
started. -they just weren't there when I came to put them in the
saucepan.  A thorough search of the van failed to find them.

Ah.  "Can you wait outside (in another room) while I make dinner?"  :>
SWMBO often takes out things she THINKS I will need.  Or, puts away
something that she thinks is "needless clutter" -- that *I* have taken
out for use.  Trying to keep track of someone else's actions is
very distracting -- especially when you are trying to "juggle".

The next day I discovered that my frend had put them underneath the van
instead of the milk, which was normally kept there because it stayed
cooler.
