Yesterday I made a new batch of chili crisp. It’s a condiment that I consider a pantry staple that fits in somewhere between the soy sauce, fish sauce, vinegar of some sort, sesame oil and the fried shallots, toasted sesame seeds, furikaki, and togarashi. As you may have gathered I am a condiment kinda gal,…

Gaya Street Market : A Delicious Birthday Spectacle
A few weeks ago Steve celebrated his Bday. Since birthdays are meant to be special we decided to book a hotel in Kota Kinabalu for a couple nights. Kota Kinabula, or KK as the locals refer to it, is a sprawling middle sized city in the center of the northern coast of Sabah, Borneo….

Flash Back Friday: Tortillas/Try
I have been thinking about Mexico a lot this week. How much we enjoyed our time there. How good the food was! What it would be like to return. As such I thought I would post a bonus Flash Back Friday story about wandering around eating taco, learning to make tortillas, and me beginning to…

Galley Notes: Solar Cooking
On a recently call home my Mother asked me what I’ve been cooking. My response was “As little as possible!” Thanks to the hotter than average temperatures lately I have had very little inclination to stand over the stove.

Sustainable Sailing: Food Waste and E-Waste
Last month I mentioned that I used to write a column for SisterShip Magazine called Sustainable Sailing. I had a few readers comment that they would enjoy reading those articles so I thought I would post a few of the PDF layouts this week. One of the sustainability issues I tackled in 2020 was food…

Galley Notes: Pickled Pineapple
Nothing infers tropical in the culinary world like pineapple. Where do you drink Piña Coladas but on a beach? And when you put pineapple on a pizza where else could it be from but Hawaii? (FYI the “Hawaiian pizza was actually invented by a Canadian in 1962, but southern Ontario doesn’t exactly scream tropical so…)…

Solar Cooking Tips
I was introduced to solar cooking back in 2009. We had only just arrived in La Paz, Mexico when I spotted a box-type solar oven on the bow of a catamaran in the marina we were staying at. (Oh, the days when marinas were plentiful, and we were foolish enough to pay to be alongside!)…

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…
