A very interesting article from the BBC...

Just about everything you need to know regarding protein and well worth checking out.

Note to self...

Eat more jalapeños.

I need to watch this...

Not the same old same solar cooker...

Check out their Kickstarter page for more info.

Is this the perfect fridge for a cruising sailboat?

Adam Grosser has an idea that just might be what I've been looking for...

Pretty much says it all...

Ya think?

Altoids you can make on your boat...

Folks, they had me as soon as they mentioned coffee....

A quick pre-Thanksgiving thought...

Most folk have more sense than to deep fry a turkey on a boat but then again, a lot of folks just voted Republican, so you can't be too careful...



That said, you may want to reconsider that deep fried T-Day Turkey in the cockpit idea...

I'm certainly looking forward to finding this on my local news stand...

I am in awe...

The trick to living on a budget food wise is simply a mix of  being creative with ingredients as well as portion control which sounds a whole lot easier than it is...

For an exceptional example of someone who has it down to an art run over to Cheap Healthy Good and check out how you can get 17 meals for a couple out of $27 in 1 Chicken, 17 Healthy Meals, $26 Bucks, No Mayo...

Color me in awe!

Mai Tai Madness...

Why did no one tell me about this? A little lead time and I would have been all over this, I could have been a contender...

More info over at Beach Bum Berry's... Sounds like a LOT of FUN!

Chocolate cake with a difference...

Joy the Baker is one of our daily reads and I always look forward to whatever she has in store...

In this case it is a Chocolate cake that I really can't wait to try out and in fact I'm thinking through the process to convert the recipe to a pressure cooking steamed version as I think it would work just fine.

Now you may have noticed the green Avocado frosting but there is more as one of the main ingredients of the cake itself!

This is just the sort of recipe and cooking article I live for... I mean who wants yet another same old same recipe you can dig out of "The Joy of Cooking" (not to knock one of the GREAT cookbooks of all time) but less of the old and more of the creative and interesting! Joy The Baker gets it just right!

With apologies to Jimmy Buffet...

If there is one thing lacking in the Caribbean it is the real "Cheeseburger in Paradise" and the fact is while just about every eatery offers some form of their take on a "Cheeseburger", none even come close... Though they all charge like it was something special. Seriously, if nothing else, they might all want to just get past the stale buns and funky hamburger patties. Let alone the surly service...

So, just so they can no longer plead ignorance... Take a look at what a paradisical hamburger might actually look and taste like. A big thanks to Guilty Carnivore for the heads up on his visit to Umami Burger in L.A.!

Spam Jam...

The Tasty Island is all over the 2009 Waikiki Spam Jam...

I know that I have made reference to SPAM on Boat Bits in the past but you have to love it when people get creative with anything and all in aid of a good cause!

Check it out.
