Galley Tips from Jan Boys, WE BE BLEST III We installed a small fridge on the flybridge. The freezer is not functional since we don’t always have it on when at anchor for an extended time. However, the little freezer in the galley fridge can hold a lot of meat. We will buy an 8# pork loin (very lean) and then cut it in about 1” slices, then freeze in ziplock bags. They stack great in minimal space. We have also bought chicken legs and thighs or breasts, stripped the meat off the bone and then pack in ziplocks to freeze. Often the space just under the freezer will keep food frozen as well. Gene will often grill four pork loins. We eat two for supper and then I use the cooked pieces the next day in some of the recipes listed below. The same for chicken. Grill double the amount for a meal and have precooked meat for another day. When we provision, I will buy cauliflower, broccoli, cole slaw mix, and lettuce or spinach or Napa cabbage (a good alternative to lettuce. It keeps a long time) We keep the extra veggies in the fly bridge fridge along with water, soda and beer. The cole slaw holds up the best, so I save that for last to make the KFC Slaw or Fumi Salad. I make only a half batch of the broccoli/cauliflower salad since it only keeps 2-3 days. The rest of the broccoli and cauliflower can be cooked for a veggie at dinner. We use the lettuce and spinach first since it has a shorter life. Often I keep the lettuce up above, since the main fridge can freeze it. On this year’s trip we’ve added cooked chicken to the broccoli salad and the KFC or Fumi salads. This makes a great lunch or light supper. Gene made a false floor over the lower area in front of the closet. It is even with the floor by the head. The top just lifts up. That is my pantry. It holds a tremendous amount of canned and dry food. We have a MW, small toaster oven, a rice steamer, an electric fry pan on board. We have no oven with the stove. I’m glad since I have a lot of storage space in that cabinet. I’ve used wire racks to create 2 shelves in that area. I also used a number of shoebox size baskets to store spices, dry food, seasonings etc under the sink, also on 2 wire racks. I put my spices in ziplock snack size bags. Saves weight. Gene will add about 2 oz of bleach to each fresh water tank if the water will be setting for awhile. If we will be using it regularly, he doesn’t. We have a gallon size Brita filter and use that for our drinking water, drawing it from our tanks then filtering it. To keep the main fridge cold, on this trip we will fill our water bottles with our filtered water and then chill them in the fridge above. Otherwise it seems to warm up the frozen food in the main fridge. I’ve created a very detailed list of food, supplies, things to do before we take off on a trip. I use this as my inventory when planning each trip, and while on our extended trip to keep track of what I have and what I need to buy. I’m including that with this email. Folks can adapt it to their own needs. We have folding bikes, so use them with 2 backpacks and a duffelbag that we bungie on the back of one bike. We can carry a lot of groceries this way.
