We got the call around
11:30AM that we could proceed to the dock! And just as soon as we got over
there and tied down the wind whipped up into a frenzy – we were getting gusts
over 20! The halyards on the neighboring sailboats were alternately singing and
banging on the mast, flags and burgees were whipping, and at least one person’s
canvas came loose! Add in rain and you have such a delightful day (NOT!) Actually, it didn’t rain as heavily as was
predicted but the wind did.not.stop. Abells hunkered down on their boat and we
hunkered down on ours, not doing much of anything. Tonight was taco night and I
decided to make both fish tacos and sheet pan short rib tacos. I had previously
in the spring roasted up the short ribs, shredded the meat and vacuum sealed so
it was all ready to go. I tried something new which was corn tortillas in the
oven, which worked so well! Instead of making a mess stovetop frying two tacos
at a time with grease spattering everywhere, I mad sheet pan tacos. Prep is the
same as if you were going to fry, but instead I laid them out on parchment,
stuffed with meat and cheese and folded over, then brushed oil on both sides.
Cooked at 425 for 8-9 minutes then flipped and did another 8-9 minutes, and
voila! They came out as crispy and delicious as fried tacos! With lime crema
and pickled onions the masterpiece was complete. I also did ling cod fish
tacos, baking seasoned fillets in the oven, then flour tortillas topped with
spicy slaw, guacamole and salsa. It was a feast and a great end to the day!
NO PICS TODAY!
