Message in a Bottle
A great southern coastal story. A must-see movie. Set on the Carolina Coast. Great boat and great homage to our southern coast, which is disappearing. We need films like this to remind us what our coasts looked like before they were lined with condominiums. Sucky ending.

Captain Ron
Captain Ron ranks as the highest. Most folks don’t get this movie. Almost ALL sailing folks LOVE this stupid movie. It is FULL of quotes that most sailors love.
Tuscan Herb Salt

I read about this a while back, and filed it on my ‘things to try’ list. Cooking dinner tonight, I found my pork chops were bad (just bought them yesterday!) and had to come up with a quick plan B. My “plan B’s” usually involve calling Papa Vitos for a pizza, but I was hungry and didn’t want to wait 45 minutes to eat. Then I remembered the Roman Pasta story I read in the paper. I googled around for some recipes and then made my take on it. The recipe makes a meal for one, so increase as needed. Ingredients: Handful of dried pasta (I use about 1/5 a package of Barilla’s...
