    What preserves do you like?

    I make Jalapeno Jelly every year. We love to eat it with smoked salmon, cheese and crackers or spread it on top of brie and BBQ it on a cedar plank.

    Rock Crab

    Maybe someone in your area will have to help you. We have rock crab here in Nanaimo, BC Canada and I caught some one day. To me, I find it doesn't have much taste to it compared to the dungeness and king crab we get out here. I see there are quite a few recipes in the internet made with rock crab.

    Name that dish?

    LPBeier asked the question? I remember the fish and chips wrapped in newspaper. My grandfather owned a Fish & Chip shop in Canada after arriving from England.

    Help With Spaghetti Suace

    Apparently they do work but I could just see the tomatoes dropping off when going on a cruise. I do have my fresh herbs though.

    Saving chicken juices?

    Strain the juices if necessary then add white wine to the pan with the juices, boil it down to thicken (may take a while depending on how much liquid you have) and you will have a nice sauce to drizzle over your chicken. Optional: Take off the heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter.

    Help With Spaghetti Suace

    Your right about that, Selkie; they are best from the garden. There is quite a difference. I do miss my vegetable garden but I can't see me trying to grow one on our boat!

    Crab Tarts

    Yes, that looks like what it turns out like but stuffed with the crab mixture of course. I am a bit of a calorie count person. I will see what it says on the box and compare. Thanks

    Crab Tarts

    If you try the frozen premade puff pastry shells DcSaute or anyone else let us know how it turned out. Sounds even easier! Are they mini?

    Hors D' oeuvres Night

    Joesfolk That was dinner with wine for 4. I just kept on replenishing it. We were all full at the end. But we did have alongside it clusters of grapes, pineapple wedges from the BBQ, melon balls and strawberries.
