On Deck » What’s Cooking? »
Mmmm, mmmm. We’re hungry! What’s cooking? We’re try to present a day to day journal of what meals are served on the Maggie B. We hope to have some recipes soon…
Bananas a Plenty
We ate the rest of the Mahi Mahi today for lunch, lightly steamed on bananas, with roast potatoes, onions and garlic. Greens were cauliflower and peas. Wine was Cloudy Bay Sauvignon blanc. We were twice blessed today with Theresa making bread this morning and Hannah banana cake this afternoon. Did I mention we have lots and lots of fresh bananas?
Breakfast in Raivavae
We got a bag of delicious grapefruit from another boat. Almost as sweet as an orange. Breakfast this morning was strong coffee, fresh local grapefruit and baguette with butter and manuka honey. Perfect!
Carrick Unravelled
Just to continue on the gastronomic theme, lunch today was venison sausages, in a tomato/mushroom/onion/garlic sauce on top of whole-wheat fettichini.
Lunch was washed down with a nice Central Otago Pinot Noir called Carrick Unravelled. At first I wondered if Carrick were the winemaker, but I learned it’s a name from the region of Bannockburn, NZ.
“Four Cloves” en route to NZ
We had a lovely lunch of garlic/ginger chicken breasts sautéed with broccoli and carrots accompanied by a garden salad with the Captain’s infamous “Four Cloves” balsamic vinegar dressing.
Three days from Fremantle, 2.15.2007
Supplies are getting low at least for fresh food, being 2 1/2 weeks out of Mauritius. But we continue to be inventive for our communal noon meal. Today, with the help of the “All Around the World Cookbook” by Sheila Lukins, I made Irish Soda Bread, which came out pretty well. We then had Butternut Squash soup and a horizontal Pissaladiere. We have lots of onions for the onion tart, and olives, but sardines instead of anchovies, and the Soda Bread instead of puff pastry. It was delicious!
Our Valentine’s Day feast
Hannah made a marvelous chocolate layer cake for Valentine’s Day. Chocolate with chocolate frosting on top and jam and yogurt inner frosting. Total pig out! It will probably not live to see sunset. We decorated the Crew Mess with cut-out red and silver hearts. Hannah had Valentine’s pencils for all of us. Owen burned a CD of all our best love songs. It was perfect, except for being absent from friends and family.
Bolognese & Beaujolais €” 08.22.06
A day from Cape Town, we had Spaghetti Bolognese for lunch with a nice fresh Beaujolais. We have to drink up the French wine shipped from Martinique to make room for all the great South African wines!
Alexandra’s Best Ever Lemon Cake €” 08.15.06
Last night’s culinary success was Alexandra’s Best Ever Lemon Cake, from the Maggie B’s Cookbook. It had mostly disappeared by dawn. I had to make it with limes, both because we had limes (not lemons), but also in honor of all the Caipirhinas we enjoyed in Brazil.
Lunch today will be chicken in garlic and oil with a bottle of Entre deux Mers (even though it’s the Dordogne and the Garonne, we’re between two seas — get it?) White Bordeaux.
Lunch €” Monday 08.14.06
Today we had the end of Max’s lovely Mahi Mahi (served with a white sauce with little shrinp and garlic). Six or seven meals for four from one fish! We will let Max start fishing again tomorrow. I want him to get another little Yellow Fin tuna, the others are favoring another Mahi Mahi. We have found the wasabi, so we are ready.
Lunch €” Sunday 08.13.06
Lunch was a ….Mahi Mahi fish soup, done Chinese style with rice and ginger. Lieve used just a bit of the famous Susie’s Hot Sauce from Antigua, which was enough to light all our fires.
