One of the things I enjoyed about my visits to Rotterdam were the restaurants that served rijsttafel. . . ---

Will have to say meals. On the Nicor Republic they had a 50 year old cajun biker lady. She was heavy, heavily tattooed ( way before it was cool), had a foul mouth, and was absolutely amazing in the galley. I was from New York and my first real extended introduction to the cuisine of Louisiana. - everything she made was eye opening to me and she took real pride in it all. She treated every meal like she was feeding her family. Wish I could remember her name. ---

In the seventies I tried working as a stern man on a lobster boat. Lobster pots catch lots more than lobster, and the by catch is often good eating. My first test of this was during the first week we found a nice cod in a trap. It was cleaned, salt and peppered, covered in foil and wired to the upright muffler. Cod a la muffler was as fresh as you could get and very tasty. ---

As you are aware it is winter down here and while the temperature only drops to only a balmy 28 degrees Fahrenheit a warm meal still goes down well. So here it is: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/gcaptain_maritime_forum/original/3X/6/1/61e6918442458bc9a9afa3ea780df055e0199a92.jpeg) A suet pastry shell containing a steak, kidney and Guinness goodness, makes winter almost worthwhile. ---

I have had many good cooks, the ones that used a thermometor on the holiday prime rib were most welcome. ---

I’ve had some who didn’t even know enough to use a thermometer on a baked potato, never mind a prime rib. ---
