Adventures on the high sea...with a spot of lunch

Manly Skiff Club

The weather in Sydney has been so hot lately. I think with such a slow start to the summer season there was a lot of catching up to do.

As it was another hot day recently, Captain Vegetarian thought it would be a great day to take the boat out. Captain Vegetarian loves heading out on the boat…. I however only occasionally venture out as I never really found my sea legs.

My darling Captain Vegetarian has become quite cunning in our three years of marriage and knows that he can always lure me out on the high seas with the promise of a lunch once we hit dry land. So off we went Captain Vegetarian and his Chief Wincher (its electric) our destination was to be Manly!

Keeping in mind that it was hot, had only just gone 12pm and I had to stomach to trip back I went for a Thai Beef Salad. I wouldn’t say that it was your traditional Thai beef salad as the flavours had more of a Chinese vibe with hoi sin sauce being the star of the dressing along a nice sprinkling of sesame seeds. I definitely wasn’t disappointed.

We couldn’t resist the big bowl of thick cut chips. They were delicious! I promised my self I would only eat a few…it didn’t happen.

Captain Vegetarian also went for the salad option which I thought was strange …especially as there was veggie burger on the menu, but like me he was also hot and thought of our impending trip home. The Captain went for the Pumpkin and Fetta salad. This salad was missing something, and I don’t mean meat. I have to say that it looked a little sad on the plate and could have been dressed with a better dressing.
