Passage Food

I think have mentioned before that pressure cooker pasta is our go to passage food.  I usually cook up a big batch before we set sail for quick and easy access while underway.  However, I don't think I shared with you the great mugs that act as containers for the pasta.  These mug are large enough to hold one good size portion of passage pasta and.....bonus, they each have a lid.  This keeps the contents safely stored inside until we can shovel it inside our mouths.  While underway, we simply pass the mugs out the nav station window, setting them on the floor of the cockpit to be distributed.  If the seas are rough or we are heeling, no worry, the lids are still on - no spilling.  The mugs are easy to hold - aka faster shoveling of food into one's mouth.  When we are finished, we simply put the lid back on so the last little bits are contained inside.  Who am I kidding, we are sailing and thus hungry....there are no little bits left.  We eat it all!

Tom also makes up a double batch of popcorn and puts it into two big ziplock bags.  This is the perfect munchie food, especially on the night watch.  Almonds and dried cranberries mixed in a baggy are good too.  And what is a passage without chocolate for a daily treat - dark, local (Caribbean), yummy chocolate.

Peanut butter sandwiches are always welcome anytime of day - breakfast, lunch or snack.  If we have Nutella - all the better!

Last passage, I boiled up some hard boiled eggs and we had those on passage.  The last two were gobbled up when we arrived into the anchorage.  I usually try to have some quick and easy food ready for after passage food when we are tired.
