I had a blog, of sorts at tumblr for a very long time. As all  I wanted to do was post my thoughts and ramblings, mixed in with pics about food, travels and life of a sea going cook. It seemed that it got a way from me and as I write no one can access it through the traditional way. I guess in my very lazy approach of just wanting to post crap for people to access when they want I messed up some how in the tumblr universe. So be it. 

So after a drizzled 2 hr walk in the woods I decided to recamp and revamp  at this location and guess what! I had set this up years ago and in my wizened way, completely forgot about it. Don't get me going on that as I approach 57! 

 As of right now I have attempted to bring my tumblr stuff here but lack the patience in trying to do so. I think I will just bring it over in bits and pieces for anyone interested. I was just able to make  a zip file of all my stuff but of course that was easy--now I need to figure out how to get it here. I will try that starting today between looking for a sea going job, re heating pizza and awaiting hockey tonight!

He remembers the days in old Main Brook , a welcome sight after weeks at sea and the hearty and hale at Fred's Lounge, a place before it's time. Plunder a plenty back then but the scarce times came fast as kings and queens fell, and no privateer knew who to trust. At anchor in Spirity Cove, he sensed his days were numbered as the leader of his loyal but frustrated crew. Maybe time would soon come to take Con up on his offer to buy that small inn in St John's, become a publican. A few more raids, enough pirated bounty to ease into a landlubber's life. The slow trough shifted his hammock and

            Karla found herself at the end of the month in Santiago, working at a Cafés con piernas for little wages, tips, free tortas and a pair of high heels. Back at the hostel (were she was able to convince the manager for a weekly discount) the extra sandwiches went over big with the tourists as she sold them cheaply as Chilean `artisanal tortas` ' All made with local ingredients. Local in that as Karla knew, they came from the local supermercado around the corner. This was quite the change from what she called her ` kebab wallah ` job in Mumbai at an expansive hostel, more an open courtyard hotel with a large tandoor and bbq pit with a big tawa on top. She quickly used her cooking skills and storytelling to earn free room and board as she entertained nightly. Everyone was a foodie in that they all knew what a kebab was from home. So Karla adjusted by what she could find on hand and used her skill to transport all these foodies to local India! From pasanda and nar
