Several years ago, when Steve and I were on one of our motorcycle adventures around Australia, we got stuck in a little town called Mount Morgan, half way up the Queensland coast. It had started to rain a few days before and, fearing flooding, Steve decided it best to start making our way to higher…

Galley Notes: Noodle Bowls, Making Stock, and Reducing Food Waste
My cooking style, and the types of dishes I like to cook, is constantly in flux. Influenced by where we are sailing, the seasons, the local cuisine, and what is available at the market I am happy to follow where inspiration and our taste buds take me. In Mexico I regularly made corn tortillas by…

Galley Notes: Cheats Congee in Cruising World Magazine
Something that has been on heavy rotation in my galley these past few months has been my Cheats Congee. I say cheats because I don’t use uncooked rice and I don’t claim that it is a traditional recipe. Congee is a savoury rice porridge that is warm, and soothing, and delicious. It appears in many…

Morning Galley Views – 52 Weeks (and counting) in Photos
I wake most mornings between 0430 and 0530, sans alarm. After awkwardly scooching out over the head of our triangle-shaped bed I start my day by heading to the galley to light the right-hand burner of our small gas stove and put the kettle on. While I am there I open the small hatch that…

Galley Notes: Roller Coasters, an Empty Fridge & Veggie Fritters
This week it feels more like we live on a roller coaster than we do a sailboat, so have been the emotional peaks and troughs. We finally made some long-term sailing plans (HIGH), only to discover a broken pressure plate in the transmission (LOW). In a strange twist of fate, Jim, a fellow sailor we…

Galley Notes: Making Yogurt On Board (AKA. Battle of the Bacteria)
As someone who travels as part of their daily life it seems inevitable that once a year or so I suffer through a bout of food poisoning. Tuesday, on a quick trip to town to pick up laundry, it seems I also picked up some greeblies. I won’t bore you with the details but let’s…

Pseudo-Single Handing & Cooking for One
Steve is away earning beer coupons, so we can keep doing this sailing thing. If you’ve been here for a while you know this is a kind-of-regular occurrence. By that I mean he spends 8-12 weeks of the year away working, just not necessarily on any regular or predictable schedule. This time however, it was…

9 Nifty Gift Ideas for a Greener Galley
The holiday season is upon us – actually it has been upon us in the stores in the Philippines since September, no joke. Last night watched Holiday Inn, the first in our annual Christmas movie line up. We’ve been looking for “the perfect anchorage” to spend the holidays; away from towns but still within mobile….
