Happy New Year! We went with our tradition of Caviar and Champagne. My wife made the blinis, and we added some typical accompaniments. Also added Lobster tails this year. Also had our first-ever attempt at chocolate cream pie (a childhood favorite of mine that for whatever reason I've never before thought to make as an adult). Nice evening of food and culture (we watched the original Vacation for her first time).

Beautiful! We did champagne also (pic in that thread), didn’t do caviar… damn. Missed it. We went a different route for dinner and got Chinese. Tasty. Happy New Year!

Happy 2nd Day of 2023! well, really just another day of course, but we did have leftover Caviar and accompaniments, so we repeated the NYE meal, this time substituting prawns for lobster. Yummy again. Image Unavailable, Please Login
Ok finally cooked the Aussie suckling piglet for New Year’s Day (shown in the photos above). unfortunately the skin split but it tasted amazing!!!!!! Dried it out in the fridge for 24 hours with salt then seasoned it, mainly on the inside with the spices shown..Spit roasted it with charcoal and hickory wood to add a little smoky flavour.

First of two Polish food nights… Yesterday was Sauerkraut Soup. So good on a snowy winter’s night! Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
Tonight was Zapiekanka. One traditional with mushrooms and Gouda cheese and spicy ketchup. The other was more like Italian style French bread pizza. Both yummy. (My wife made the bread using a new brand of bread flour and the baguette was her best yet.) Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
Nothing worth posting this week. Like last night was potato wedges and fried chicken from an independent grocery store in the small border town of Blaine, WA. The chicken there is pretty good. As good as Popeyes. Tonight I think I'll just get a calzone or I might be going to our property in the states. If I go it will be Chick-Fil-A.
Well Its only 11:47 am and should be posted in the lunch section . But I think this covered breakfast, lunch, dinner and my midnight snack. A buddy has been telling me to go to Slow Bone in Dallas for a while. Wow , really probably The best bbq I've had . Better than Pecan lodge and Terry Blacks imo.. Image Unavailable, Please Login
Had guests over for Fish and Chips. Added prawn cocktail and fried coconut prawns as an appetizer. They brought cheesecake for dessert. Too much fried food (ugh). Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
I tried making fried fish once. What a disaster! Yours looks very good. After a few weeks in the tropics, mostly off the grid, it's back to the frozen tundra of Northern Texas! Fortunately, it's in the 70s to smooth the transition back home. Image Unavailable, Please Login Traditional back home meal, chicken soup. On ship, my go-to breakfast is arroz caldo, chicken and rice porridge. It's a popular Filipino comfort food and with many crew from that part of the globe, you know it has to be good. I was chatting up folks and the secrets seem to be to use chicken bones and fish sauce. So, I'm incorporating those elements into my chicken soup. Smelling good! T
