In a Mexican frame of mind for dinner today. I made the beef mixture and quacamole in advance so when it was time to eat, I just reheated the meat, plated the chopped greens and minutes later we were ready to dig in.

When I asked Captain if he had any special requests for supper tonight, he thought for a moment then said: ‘How about Sloppy Joe’s?’ It’s been years since I made these or even heard the name mentioned. It’s a standard kid-friendly-easy-inexpensive-comfort sort of supper. I can’t even remember how I used to make them but remember ground beef and some sort of tomatoey concoction served […]
I came across a social media discussion about donairs the other day, which in turn led me down a rabbit hole of wonder and confusion.

My love affair with all things Ikea continues…. we outfitted our boat cabin with handy Ikea items… we installed cupboards for storing boats gear in our land home… so why not further celebrate all things minimal, Swedish and Ikea with an easy Galley supper? My Mom used to make Swedish meatballs. I remember the juicy tender meatballs swimming in a wonderful rich creamy sauce as […]

This rich veal stew can easily be modified for simple life on the water. Instead of the multitude of steps, I reduced this delicious dish to just a few. From a fairly lenghthy cooking process it was ready within 30 minutes. The secret is to use lean tender veal tenderloin, requiring minimal cooking time. #5 R.E.D. BLANQUETTE DE VEAU (Creamy veal stew) serves […]
