Provision boats-early, and keep moisture from reaching foods PAGE IS - PLAINDEALER • WEDNESDAY, JULYS. 1*1 bakery buys Even if prime boating season in your area is still a few weeks away, it is never too early to start planning food provisions for your boat. The best part of a boating trip is your feeling of inc and self-sufficiency. To the mundane world from i ing too itauch, carry aboard most of die food you'll need for a week or more of cruising at die beginning of the trip. This means only hit-and-run stops for perishables will be necessary. In fact, provisioning of food and other stores early gives you time to trim the ship rally loaded before sailing. It's easier to shift supplies around in port than in the middle of the lake. Food provisioning should have several goals: organization and foresight, so that anyone can spell the cook in planning a meal, and providing high nu trition foods to keep bodies healthy and minds alert. Basic food supplies for cruis ing might include a selection of hot and cold cereals for break fast, for baking and for cas serole toppings. Add to your locker dry yeast, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, salt, flour, powdered eggs and instant non-fat dry milk. From these stores a vari ety of biscuits and quickbreads can be prepared, even on a stove burner. These dry foods should be kept fresh and moisture-free by removing them from their paper packaging and storing them in sturdy plastic containers with tight-fitting seals. Tupperware, for instance, makes a handy, sealed plastic cereal-storer with a large pour ing spout for ease of use. Their regular, sealed canisters, which range in size ail the way up to a capacity of 10 pounds, can effi- ciently safeguard larger amounts for longer trips. Hard sausages and hard cheese, by the way, hold up well if placed in sealed plastic con tainers. Such containers with seals, incidentally, are also great for keeping matches dry and the larger sizes for holding your valuables. They don't leak in the rain or sink if dropped overboard. Quick, easy and hearty cook ery to please a hungry crew could include a delicious top- of-stove corn bread spiced up with bacon and onion, or a fil ling, fragrant ham-rice skillet. Keep the raw rice and corn- meal in handy, tight-sealed con tainers, and you 11 always have the basis for nutritious dishes, even off the shore of the prover bial desert island.
