Saturday cook

July 2, 2011   

I was on saturday cook (above picture is sunrise from the kitchen window) but seeing as we were having the pub crawl we did dinner an hour earlier and I made just main and dessert. As it was close to 4th July I decided to make food that was themed on what I would have had at home had I been in SF for the 4th.


I did a barley yoghurt pancake breakfast with a choice of bananna or pumpkin muffins. Not sure I will do it again the buckwheats I feel were much tastier! After breakfast it was time to take Robert out to La Manche for the trans shipping clearance procedure.


On the way back up from the boatshed I did my shopping at the food store South Georgia style!


Potatoe, green bean and bacon salad


Lemonade made from lemon juice (bottled kind unfortunately) but still pretty tasty


Rainbow trout fillets on a bed of mixed forest mushrooms


Dessert of apple pie with homemade vanilla ice cream or pumpkin pie (I know more thanksgiving than 4th july!) still trying to use up the pumpkin puree from the 40lb pumpkin that was send down from the Falklands.

    Happy belated 4th-I just love reading your blog – and can recognize so much of South Georgia. Loved the frozen water at the Shakleton waterfall! Harry and I are enjoying our summer at Tahoe but we too have had odd weather here – snow in May to early June. And, today (7/5) we just had a big hailstorm!
    Stay wam and comfortable and know you will look back on this adventure inthe years to come as incredible!!!

    Great to hear from you Suzanne hope you and Harry had a really fun 4th of July. Yes you are having odd weather! I saw some of my friends skiing on 4th July in CA while I was doing the same down here – welcome to global climate change. Just back from a 15km snowshoe looking for seal poo with Ali and on my way to a sauna – life isn’t that bad 🙂
