Bread Update....

It is official, Steve is changing his surname from Brown to Baker!
How can a man who struggles to boil water make an awesome loaf of bread...I mean this man seriously cooks nothing....and yet my bread flops and his is awesomely (?) delicious!
His latest effort.....

Bread

Steve tried out the bread maker....this is our third attempt, and we don't talk about the other two...oh, ok....I may have missed adding one cup of flour on the first attempt and the 2nd try, the power went off half way through..(is that my fault?)! Anyway the third attempt and this is the result...sorry about the pose...but he is strictly a 'boil water only' kinda guy, so he is feeling a bit cocky that his loaf of bread is so light and fluffy.
Presently we are still at the Curacao Marina. Let's hope when we are sailing the breadmaker doesn't zap too much power when we will be generating our own by solar, wind and battery.

A Breadmaker!

We bought a breadmaker today. Everthing from electric fondues to foot massagers were in electrical stores in Willemstad, Curacao . Are breadmakers that much "old hat"? It took 8 electrical stores before we found a store that practically gave us their last (old stock). We are happy!

Sunset drinks

aka sundowners
Usually anytime after 10 is acceptable but usually occurs after 4pm.

Favourites:
Steve...never changes....wild turkey and coke and only ever 1!
Maria...varies...fave is margarita....but spirits are so cheap in the Caribbean, especially Puerto Rico . Rum is cheap everywhere and there is so much variety. ...I change my fave drink often.

We also sample the local beer at most of our stops. Dominican Republic has midi bottles to share. Venezula, the norm is 227ml ....always seems to be a few sips short to us. We had our bottom scraped (the boat and barnacles). At the end of the day we offered the diver a cold drink. He was overwhelmed by the size of the DR 'midi' and took a coke instead.

Most food outlets throughout the Caribbean sell alcohol, even the local take-way store.
