Ok.... so what's go'n on with the boat. Haul out? Repairs? What about the rudder problem/helm thingy? Sounds like you going to winter there. So are you going to get a camper and go on a road trip? Heading to north to Canada's Atlantic coast is not a bad thing...lots to see and do.
Cheers

Been vegan since May thanks to the video you posted back then. :)
We've cut down on meat since April, but mainly because we moved to a fairly remote house with self sufficient gardens. I can just step outside and pick vegetables for dinner to go with rice or pasta and it is so much easier than climbing minimum 500 steps to go buy meat!
I will try this tonight..although I have everything but the mushrooms in the garden!
Life in Positano seems idyllic Nicki, what a beautiful place on earth. To have my own garden full of organic food is a dream. Those steps up and down the hill gives you great butt exercise i can imagine!
Check this out, coming this weekend, just north of Boston, not very far at all:

PS - A lot of MA residents will "bust your balls"
out of habit, just give it right back and you'll fit right in. Nothing personal. When driving don't use
your brakes or turn signals, it's a sign of weakness..
That looks delicious! Chanterelles are my favorite, have planned to go pick some this weekend so I might just try out your recipe and replace the shiitake.
Since I tried Seitan for the first time a year ago I was hooked, it's so versatile! Being a vegetarian for over 10 years I'm getting sick of soy products, not to mention Quorn - ugh...
Try this (vegan) dish:
- Get a few ears of fresh corn, cut off the kernels.
- Sautee some minced shallots and sliced chanterelle mushrooms.
Add some chopped sage leaves.
When the mushrooms are getting done, add the corn kernels.
While they are cooking, cut a bunch of cherry tomatoes in half.
Add the tomatoes to the mushrooms/corn/sage.
Cook til the tomatoes are warmed through but not falling apart.
- Meanwhile, cook some potato gnocchi.
- When the gnocchi and "sauce" are done, mix it all together.
I would serve it with plenty of fresh pepper and grated parmiggiano.
If you're careful not to overcook the tomatoes, this dish tastes like late summer.
If you're a committed (but ethical) carnivore like me, you can have this as
an appetizer before a few grilled porterhouse steaks served over a bed of
arugula. :-) Otherwise, it's also a great main course.
So by the looks of this picture it's seems that your staying near the mouth of the Cape Cod canal.

There's a little coastal city called New Bedford that’s not far from you. It's protected by a sea wall that they close during Hurricanes. In the last two years there have been two that produced very high tidal surges and strong south easterly winds. Right now up until Mid-Late Oct your in the zone.
The city is famous for its whaling history and currently is seeing sort of a resurgence.

Hi
So i have been following your blog for way over a year now and when at first i found out you were going vegan style i thought that you were crazy( by the way i am a chef) but after a while i started to watch the documentarys on netflix (fork over knives etc) and then about 6 weeks ago i read the china study i decided to give it a go, well 6 weeks later and 19 lbs lost (i run everyday as well) i do feel alot more healthy, i am in a situation were i have to taste some animal products due to my job but i would say i am 95% Vegan style, ( except Pizza, the vegan cheese just does not even come close to being edible.) But anyway the whole reason for commenting was to tell you to try Farro, it is a grain from italy and does have a slightly nutty flavor and can be used in stews/soups , similar to barley but will always keep its texture and does not break down when cooked for a long time, available in whole foods, give it a go ??
