It was windy and rainy all day, and quite cold. It was not the tropical weather that I was expected, but it’s perfect for bread baking and reading novels inside.
I read that Robinson spent two years planting wheats with some seeds shaken out of his pockets. He drove away goats that eat seedlings and birds that eat wheats, made a grinder and a sieve by himself, built a stove, and finally made a hot bread (no yeast was used so is actually a hardtack)... I looked at the freshly baked atheist bun (hot cross bun without cross) in front of me, and was thinking this kind of food is a miracle.
For dinner, I made artisan pumpkin soup to go with freshly baked bread made by J. Pumpkins are really good food to keep on boat, they last very long. They are still fresh and sweet when opened after a few weeks. The seeds can be pan fried and make snacks (learn from Robinson who does not waste food at all). The pumpkin in soup was crushed with spoon and fork by hand. I add some ginger powder, garlic powder, pepper, turmeric powder to taste, and finally folded in some milk. It tastes great when it is hot, especially suitable for this windy and rainy night (we were actually eating winter food on this tropical island).
At night, the rain is getting heavier and heavier, and wind was gusty. From time to time, J checked if the boat was dragging the anchor away. The skylight was leaking a bit. J rushed out to cover it with plastic sheet, came back with dripping jacket, what he need was a cup of hot chocolate to warm up. There was a boat came in to the bay In the late afternoon before the heavy rain, and they must be happy now so they don’t have to sail on a stormy night.
