| Wild rice salad: a feast for the eyes and the taste buds. I was delighted to find wild rice that cost less than the current price of gold per ounce. |
I tried to provision our food for a month’s worth of cruising, as we sailed into
the spendier climes of the Virgins.
I'm glad we did.
With
limited fridge / freezer space, it’s a challenge to extend the life of fresh
produce in healthy, varied meals.
One
of my better efforts? A salad of
wild rice ,
grated carrots, shredded purple cabbage, sliced green onions, chopped snow
peas, topped with sesame oil, red wine vinegar, salt and white pepper. Only the green onions were purchased recently.
I’ll seek out
other grains to experiment with for salads, like barley and wheat berry, as
lettuce is currently selling for $4/head here and doesn’t store well.
In
a future post or two, I’ll address some of my favorite galley basic ingredients and
the many varieties of “haute ramen.”
Chop Suey, and Nacho's were last minute creations of restraunts taking care of late customers after cleanup.
