Still humming tunes from the Swinging Medallions we headed north from Amelia Island to Charleston on Gary and Torie’s Hylas 54, Solitude. With an 80 ft mast, there was no dreaming of puttering up the Intercoastal. But fortunately, we were blessed with fairly calm seas under way, and were able to continue the 52nd Annual Fernandina Beach Shrimp Festival celebration,…
Spring…finally! And thoughts turn to Provence. Le printemps dans le Sud de la France. And this salmon recipe has it. Asparagus, Herbs de Provence, a little truffle salt. Although salmon is not the typical Mediterranean poisson, it’s versatile and works great with this, and most any fish recipe.
This is a versatile seafood appetizer for any party, casual or formal. Canned clams are readily available year-round so this dip can be served from New Year’s Eve to 4th of July. It’s easy to make, just be sure it sits for a few hours or overnight so all the flavors combine. And remind your…

Ye `ole Cap`n is always looking for ways to stave off scurvy, and this is a beautiful, easy and delicious one. Every holiday season I wonder why I wait all year to make it.
From the Grand Portage Indian Reservation in northern Minnesota, comes this delicious hearty breakfast. These pancakes have so much crunch and chewy goodness you’ll never want a soft, spongy pancake again. Along with the great rich flavor come the nutritional benefits.

It’s that time of year when hearty comfort food reigns. Pot roasts and potatoes, gravy, casseroles, roast chicken. And with these meals comes the classic “leftovers” dish…pot pie.
