porterhouse steak on the bbq; steamed fresh asperagus or fresh corn in the husk steamed on the bbq [whichever is in season in the delta]; fresh garlic bread toasted on the bbq; nice bottle of Amador County Old Vine Zin. Doesn't get any better then that!!!!
Simple hamburgers, hot dogs grilled with side of baked beans is always nice and simple. We get a little more sophisticated with steak and chicken when entertaining. Through is some steamed clams from the bay and corn on the cob.
Bill, chile goes into that category too! We used to anchor out to bait fish and warming up some chile also warmed up the enclosed cockpit! I'd stay away from those baked beans on a boat....the side effects can really make your boatmates suffer!
If we're too tired to go to shore, this is one of my favorite boat meals. I fixed this in the middle of a three-week passage from Hawaii to Rangiroa to celebrate crossing the equator.
1 package of smoked salmon (keeps without refrigeration)
1 package of Knorr Parma Rosa sauce mix (found in spice section of supermarket)
Some sun-dried tomatoes, in oil, drained and chopped up. I use about 1/4 for two people
Your favorite pasta
While the pasta is boiling, prepare the sauce. (You'll need some milk and some butter, as per instructions on back of packet.) Flake the smoked salmon and add as much as you like to the sauce. Add the sun-dried tomatoes. Stir gently then pour over drained pasta.
Easy and elegant, when served with your favorite wine.
I had an old dry bologna sandwich on the boat the last day it was in the water last fall. Washed it down with several cold beers and thought it could not have been better.
Gotta go with Liz's but with some modifications. I'd start with a fresh shrimp cocktail and substitute a baked potato for the bread and a Yakima or Columbia Valley Cabernet for the Zin.
