Provisions and Sun Protection
My little dobie is still recuperating so she needs to stay out of the sweltering sun and inside.
Chilled Gazpacho Soup
Gazpacho soup originated in southern Spain's, Andalucia region. Although there are many regional and modern versions it's traditionally made with the following; ripe tomatoes, bell peppers, cucumbers, garlic, bread, olive oil, and vinegar.
Bait Tip for Snapper
The heat is blazing under the Florida sun and I'm hiding under any cover I can find. Yesterday after most people were back at the office I hopped out on the water for a late sunset cruise and fishing spot. Next, I baited my line with a scaled sardine through the nose where it doesn't hurt them. That is, until they become dinner for a bigger fish!
Hot Water, Finally
Memorial Day Weekend was long and sunny in my neck of the woods with no hot water. It's been a weekend filled with a couple of odd moments to say the least. Trust me, it's not a good feeling pulling up to the house and seeing a stream of water flowing out of the garage. This morning, as I watched him install the new hot-water heater including the pipe for the blow-off valve (in case bad things happen) I wondered if mine would serve its purpose. I'm glad it was in my garage and not the house.
Breakfast Port Side
I'm headed out on the water today; hopefully, the fish are biting because I know the winds are calm. I stopped at Starbucks this morning and picked up a fruit platter for breakfast and a spinach feta wrap for lunch later. The rest of the cooler is filled with drinks and sunscreen to keep cool. It's an SPF 70 day and covering up is wise.
Start Your Engines
The weather is gorgeous, the water cool and the food delicious. We prepared a lunch of chicken curry with rice with a side of mango and avocado salsa. So delicious. These two are made for each other.
Galley Cooking
The winds are really beautiful right now and the seas are calling. Galley cooking is one of the things I don't do too much of because my boat does not have a galley. I'm on someone else's boat here. Breakfast was a platter of fresh fruit and coffee on the bridge. Anything more than this and it gets in the way.
