We just bought a Seawind 1000 and it has a nice grill on it. We don't have an oven and I thought that would be a problem. Rusty doesn't want to get a convection oven because he thinks it would generate too much heat.

I never thought about baking on the grill. Is anyone out there familiar with the grill I am talking about? It is standard I think on Seawinds. If so, can you share any tips on baking on the grill. I am especially interested in baking bread...would love recipes. We are getting ready for our first extended cruise and I am a neophyte. All advice, wisdom etc. is welcomed.

Thanks,

We're in Miami trying to do some provisioning for our 6 month trip in the caribbean. Does anyone know of a good place here to find cheap food in bulk? The Costco prices are good but they require a $50 membership which we would like to avoid. Is our best bet going the Costco route or is there another store around here where we could stock up on stuff?

Thanks!

This is something we're struggled with over the years... might be fun for those who have done it (successfully or not) to share stories & tips...

Sometime ago I saw a webpage describing a small solar still for ocean use. It used a couple of plastic bags some cardboard and a couple other things I can't remember. Has any one seen that page or one like it? Google keeps giving me either commercial sites or how to make a still in the ground. ]]> weedeater64 http://www.cruisersforum.com/forums/f91/looking-for-solar-still-32428.html Recipe Exchange http://www.cruisersforum.com/forums/f91/recipe-exchange-32412.html Tue, 27 Oct 2009 22:22:53 GMT Hello there Does anyone have recipes to exchange on this site, for I have looked and looked and can find nothing, despite the topic of food being... Hello there

Does anyone have recipes to exchange on this site, for I have looked and looked and can find nothing, despite the topic of food being paramount in every anchorage I have ever visited??

Pot-luck parties abound and the most amazing International food appears, so does anyone have recipes that are so mouth-wateringly good that to not share them would be a crime most hideous!!!

I want to rig a board of some type that's mounted over the stern railing that can be used for messy projects, such as fish cleaning and other things. Rather than my re-inventing the wheel, what have other people already created that seems to work well? ]]> nine lufts http://www.cruisersforum.com/forums/f91/fish-cleaning-stations-32349.html <![CDATA['Easyfood' Pre-Packaged Meals from Oz]]> http://www.cruisersforum.com/forums/f91/easyfood-pre-packaged-meals-from-oz-32314.html Sat, 24 Oct 2009 14:19:31 GMT Gord mentioned this stuff in another thread. I thought it might be worthwhile recording it here:

Info from: http://www.podd.com.au/files/file/Easy%20Foods%20Publication2.pdf





So those prices: $4.20 each. Carton qty 50. Price per carton $210

$4.20AUD = $3.90 USD

420 grams is not a huge amount, about the quantity of a standard can.

Beef Strog = 1827kJ How does that rate for a main meal?
