No shoes...no shirt...no experience...no problem . The sailing adventures of Ted and Shirl, a couple with a love of the ocean...beaches...boats...palm trees and all things tropical. "We want to go where it's warm"
This
is a very simple recipe for cookies I have made since high school with basic
ingredients every galley should have. I love oatmeal and Ted doesn't, so this is
a way to get him to eat it.
The
key to this recipe is you MUST start timing when mixture reaches a full rolling
boil; this is the trick to successful cookies. If boiled too long the cookies will be dry and crumbly.
If you don't boil long enough, the cookies won't form and set
properly.
Ingredients:
Directions:
In
a medium saucepan, combine sugar, milk, butter, and cocoa. Bring to a boil, and
cook for 1 1/2 minutes (start timing when rolling boil is reached) and stir
constantly.
Remove
from heat, stir in vanilla. Then stir in peanut butter until dissolved. Finally
add the oatmeal.
Drop
by a full teaspoon onto wax paper. Let cool until hardened.
Enjoy!
These were great on the Erie Canal.
Shirl's Lake Erie Pasta Salad
Ingredients:
Large Box of spaghetti
1/2
bottle Salad Supreme seasoning 1/2 - 1 bottle
of Italian dressing (I prefer good seasons
zesty Italian or use your favorite) 1/2
cup of Chopped purple onion to taste (I sometimes use green
onion) 3 - 4 tomatoes
(chopped)
Grated or shredded (not finely grated) Parmesan cheese to
taste (add when served) 2 cucumbers
or 2 green peppers (optional - adds color)
I add pepper to taste and sometimes garlic
salt as well depending on mood.
The key to my recipe it that you go by
looks and taste if that makes sense at all to you.
Directions:
Cook
spaghetti and drain. Add the 1/2 - 1 bottle of Zesty Italian dressing (to taste)
and one half bottle of McCormick's Salad Supreme, onions, tomatoes, (cucumbers
and green peppers if desired) then add to the spaghetti.
Refrigerate.
Bear Point Pizza
Ingrediants:
Grated mozzarella cheese or whatever other cheeses you
may have
Tomato sauce
Italian seasoning
Pepperoni
Directions:
Heat a cast iron skillet on medium heat. Place flour
tortilla in the skillet. When the tortilla begins to puff up or form air
bubbles, flip it and turn the heat down to medium low.
Pierce the air bubbles with a fork to deflate them a bit.
Sprinkle the top of the tortilla with a thin layer of
grated cheese. Once the cheese is about half-way melted, spoon on a thin layer
of tomato sauce and sprinkle with italian seasoning. Sprinkle with a little more
cheese.
Once
the edges of the tortilla are browning, remove skillet from heat. Cover the top
of the skillet with a cover for about a minute or so, so the cheese on top can
melt.
Remove
to a plate and cut.
Serve immediately
