Kung Pao Toast
Saturday 26 Sept 2020
We eat well on the boat. We have a fridge, freezer, 3-burner stove with an oven and a good supply of cooking equipment. More importantly, as you know doubt realize, we like to eat! So I was a bit surprised this morning when Gloria said that toast was the most interesting meal we have on board. I asked her why and she explained as follows. “Well we have no toaster and so we use our large non-stick pot to brown the bread. The toast comes out flavored differently depending what we cooked in the pot the night before.” It’s true that this is our favorite go-to pot, we pretty much use it for everything and if you have cooked curry in it the night before then you do get an aroma of Indian spices the following morning. Obviously we do wash it out before re-using it, but I hadn’t realized that the toast was so infused with the flavors of last nights dinner! I guess I’m just insensitive!!!
Today we started applying varnish to the teak toe-rail, which needed attention. We also went out for a brief motor around to adjust our Wind-Pilot self-steering. I think it’s set up as best as we can do – now it’s just a question of seeing how well we can get it to work and building confidence that we can let it take care of the steering without us fretting about it. For this we need more sea-room and more time. It was super crowded out in the bay today, perhaps not surprising on a lovely Saturday at the end of the season.
