Currently 80 degrees on the boat, so a refreshing watermelon salad with feta and cucumber hit the spot. Add in some slivers of red onion, olive oil and balsamic glaze. Toss and enjoy.

Next time I’ll have to remember to pick up some mint.

Treated myself to dinner out...Pork rib chop, wood grilled, double cut with sweet potato and brussel sprout hash, spiced mango and pineapple chutney, and local microgreen salad.
Yes. It’s a huge portion. Enough for lunch leftovers today...and tomorrow.

Sometimes you see when they bring in a freshly caught tuna to Moe’s in Red Hook St Thomas. We always buy it when available because it’ll sell out quickly.

For some reason I’m not a fan of cooked or even rare tuna. I like my tuna raw as sashimi, in a sushi roll, or in a poke bowl.

This was an easy prep...a little cheating with a pre-made poke sauce by Kikkoman which I used to marinade the tuna after I diced into cubes.

I made the rice ahead of time and refrigerated it so it could cool down. It was probably room temp by the the time I assembled the bowls.

I did the same with the shiitake mushrooms which were sautéed with sesame oil, rice vinegar, and liquid aminos.

I like crunchy texture in my bowls, but I was limited in what was available at the market here. So I added grated carrots, sliced radishes, and diced green onions...with a sprinkle of black sesame seeds.

I usually add sliced cucumbers if I have them and I love avocado in any bowl, but there were none to be found.

I also made a spicy Mayo for topping.
1 cup mayo
3 tablespoons Sriracha
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil

Arroz con pollo...the lazy version, but just as delicious.

Mince onion, garlic, and green onion. Sautée in olive oil. Season chicken with adobo. I used 4 chicken thighs. Brown the chicken. Remove chicken to a separate plate. I added 2 cups of Arborio rice (meant for risotto) as I can’t find ‘arroz Valencia’ in the Caribbean. It works easily as well because both are short grain rice. Add double the amount of liquid as you have rice...broth, the liquid from the olives. Season with salt, pepper, a s oregano. Return the chicken to the pot. Boil for 5 minutes then lower temp to low and cover and cook for an additional 20 minutes.

FYI...this is cooking in a small galley on a sailboat. @ US Virgin Islands

I love an açaí bowl, but I’ve not been able to find any açaí here in the Virgin Islands.

Now that we have a working freezer, I can at least keep frozen berries on the boat. I bought them@with the intention of just making a smoothie. But figured, ‘what the heck, I can make a smoothie bowl’. It was just as yummy.

For the base I used 1/2 banana, frozen berries, and a little almond milk. Topped with fresh berries, the other half of the banana, walnuts, coconut flakes and sprinkled an assortment of chia seeds, flax seeds, h**p seeds, and bee pollen sprinkled on top.

Gifts brought directly from Portugal.

Canned sardines are a delicacy in Portugal.

“The Sardine is the third marvel of our country, after soccer and sunlight. “

Also the chouriço, Portuguese sausage, similar to the Spanish Chorizo, was declared one of Portugal’s ‘seven gastronomic wonders’ in a 2011 public vote.
