Hi Saliha!!!!! Welcome to Net Cooking Talk. I'm glad you found us.
Finland. Awesome. I look forward to some of your recipes and hope you find and enjoy plenty of the recipes we have here online.
Enjoy and post often.
Thank you all for warm welcomings. I will post some traditional food recipes here (to me it feels funny to call my basic foods as "ethnic" ones but of course they might be it to others). Many of them can also have a label as "Scandinavic". Let´s see...
Muuuhahah-They will NEVER learn! Sorry-been busy building a "death ray"/meth lab out in the shed-and components, as you have probably guessed, are difficult to find. The prototype is so far a no-go. However, every dog within a mile is mad as hell!!
So how the heck are all of YOU? Anybody cooking anything good?
All's well here on the forum - calm and drama-free. We have a new member, Saliha, from Finland, who has posted a lot of terrific-looking recipes, many of which are traditional Finnish dishes.
I don't share many pics of me, but for this occasion, what the hey. Normally I will sport a 'stache' or goatee ..... here is one of me in my halloween costume. My wife (Gail) went as Flo ..the insurance gal not the Flo from Mel's diner. So I went as Maham (the allstate guy who has everything around him blow up / break or ???? ) A fun easy costume for me. So, that's me in the sloppy suit jacket and tie.
Please excuse me I haven't been around for a while, but I do look at the website from time to time.
Haven't spent much time cooking since I bought my sailboat last June. Here some pictures of myself and my project boat. She's a 1978 Catalina 30 dinette model. This summer I plan on doing a little coastal cruising to Catalina Island Santa Barbara/channel islands. Cooking on a boat can be a challenge depending on the seas, it has a two burner propane stove with oven, and a icebox with a cold plate(that's a type of refrigeration that runs on 12 V) that helps save the ice in the icebox. The biggest issue is keeping your food cold and of course your favorite cold drink.
Wow. Beautiful boat. And GREAT pics of you.
The water looks so inviting. What a clean boat throughout. You don't seen engine compartments that clean on a 1978 boat. That is awesome. Someeone took some extra good care of the boat or you been using a lot of elbow grease to get her up to snuff.
More pics please of you underway or just working on the boat. You've hit my weak spot ...I love boating and boats of all kinds.
Thanks doc
I bought the boat without an engine, so I gel coded the whole engine compartment and bilge before I put the new one in.There are several of us that are going to go out and take pictures of each others boats under sail power. Kind of hard to take a picture of your own boat under sail power less she had the dinghy out running around in the ocean. My inflatable with a 4 hp is only 8'6" long could be a little scary on the open ocean.Where I have the boat in Mission Bay here in San Diego leads right to the ocean, my boat will not fit underneath the bridge to get back into the Bay where the smaller boats sail. In San Diego Bay it's a little different story, but a long way to the ocean.
Yep, understand the pic issue. We used to trade cameras to get pics of our boat on our own film before digital. Now it's nice to have someone take a pic of you underway from their boat and text or email it to you. easy peezy.
Please, please share pics of your boat underway and other sailing pics as you can. I love that stuff.
