Found - A Decent Power Strip (power block)
Mexican house. Outlets are as rare as blue eyed iguanas. Thankfully the electrical isn't wired with speaker wire. I see 12 gauge, more or less. Kitchen. Large dining room table. 5-appliances, on...

Salti Dawg, that is the smart way to do it IMHO.
My son-in-law and daughter were amazed when I connected an area light between the car port (has an eye to switch on a 5-minute light) and main entry door (around 60'). Used a three way switch although the traveler wire was somewhat of a pain to install.
I ordered and am installing a BESTTEN 2 lamp aockets 3 receptacle wireless 2-remote kit off of AMAZON. The lamp sockets are limited to 20 watts LED, but the receptacles can pass 10-amps. Unlike a lot of Chinese chew & spit this package is of decent quality.
I am holed-up in a rental house 75-miles south of the border for medical. I just received a copy of a bill for a 4-day USA hospital stay for a dual electrode pacemaker WOW! It's a five day trip for me to the border from Michoacan, and the hell of it is, I was a captive of the hospital until I was physically escorted out by a friend. Same holds true for an upcoming cataract surgery and bone transplant then followed by some more serious surgery on my spine.
So that answers two questions: Why I can pick stuff up so easily from the USA, and what the heck I am doing here. The estimated bill if done in Mexico is well in excess of one million pesos.
And when I leave the rental I am taking the Bestten system with me.
One of the two remotes is 3M double sticky taped to the wall just inside the doorway to the kitchen.
The new mool-TEEP-play (multiple -manifold) power distribution block will be set on one of two built-by-a-friend plywood kitchen tables. It will feed all the appliances.
When I was young I learned the hard way about performing gross improvements to a rental in the USA...

In Michoacan, when little 5-year old Hermalinda throws a fit because of her three sisters and locks herself in the bathroom (depriving everyone else) I can switch off an exterior light switch and whisper "Boogie boogie boogie" through the door. Issue resolved in seconds. Great Idea Salti-Dawg!
