This coming Saturday, my husband will again make me a boat widow. The ARR!! will be banded into the Chicago river and will motor it’s way up river to sailing freedom.
\nThis year, my niece and her husband will be making the trip with Dear Husband, and Sister #1 is also going to go! Despite the fact that he’ll never get me on that damned boat again, I hope for them that the weather is exceptional so they have a good time.
\nDH was at Strictly Sail in Chicago this winter and found a catering company that specializes in catering for boaters. It must have caught his fancy, because he bought home a laminated menu attached to a floating key chain holder. The boat could go down, but the menu will survive!
\nHe’s actually ordered a meal for the first excursion. I’ll miss the meal, but I won’t miss the trip. Nothing he could do would entice me back on that damned boat!
\nThis is the menu for the day:
\nTuna Nicoise Stuffed Baguette
\nAntipasto Stuffed Focaccia
\nBeef Tenderloin, Parmesan, Arrugula on a Ciabatta Role with Balsamic Dressing
\nFarfalle Pasta with Olives, Roast Tomatoes, Asparagus and Black Pepper Vinagrette
\nKettle Chips (seems mundane after the last four entries)
\nCookies
\nVirgin Mary Mix (add your own Vodka)
\nNow, if you should sail with DH in the future, you’ll be lucky to get a sandwich from the deli and a bottle of water, but the trip up the river he does with class! Sign up to the right———><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
