COCKTAIL OF DAY--BOWLINE--RACHEL'S CHILLIE

COCKTAIL OF THE DAY

Ginger Busch—highball of the day—or late afternoon as the case may be—three parts ginger beer –or more frequently ginger ale—one part or two of bourbon—Jamison or Makers Mark—four shakes of bitters—a squeeze of lime before you drop it in the glass—ok now that your minds right lets ty a knot before we get to the chilie





BOWLINE

Form a small loop leaving enough rope for the desired loop size. Pass the end of the rope through the loop as though making an overhand knot. Continue around the standing end and then back through the small loop.


This is probably the most useful and common knot found being used inbetween Aircraft Carriers and Canoe's. It has many uses, you can attach two lines together, use it for a mooring line, you can ty it with one hand with due practice, ty off to deck eyes or hardware attach sheet lines to the clue of sails, use it in man over board rescues, use it to as a tether when leaving the cockpit to do work on the foredeck when underway





RACHEL'S CHILLIE

Two jars of herb&garlic pasta sauce, two cans black beans, one can gonso beans, one can corn, one jar medium taco sauce,two tbs crushed garlic, one tsb white pepper, 0ne tbs chillie powder, one package of protein bits, one yellow onion diced.

I usually dice and sweat the onion in evo with captains house seasonings, add garlic after five minutes and then add the protein bitts, add to the opt with the beans corn and pasta sauce. When it reaches a rolling simmer add a ¼ to ½ cup of red wine I prefer Merlot, simmer at a rolling simmer for 45 minutes then add one tsp of cinnamon, I will also frequently add crushed tomatoes if I have them on hand .---Garnish with shreaded cheese any variety I frequently use mexican shreaded cheese, raw onions and sour cream unless your working on your girlish figure----enjoy!
