Frostbite Racing

Last weekend was the final race in the Little Ship Club's Frostbite Series. Although not actually freezing, the temperature was not far off during Friday night. To combat these cool temperatures, our menu for the weekend on A Day At The Races was:

Friday night
Onion bhajis with raita dip
Kedgeree with spinach plus garlic flatbread
Lemon cupcakes and tea

Saturday morning
Muesli with banana
Blueberry or chocolate chip muffins


Saturday lunch

Lamb koftas in soft tortilla wraps served with plain yoghurt
Baby plum tomatoes
Cucumber slices

Saturday evening
Prize Giving Dinner ashore at the Max Aitken Museum, Cowes - Isle of Wight

Sunday morning
Muesli with banana
Blueberry or chocolate chip muffins

Sunday lunch
Vichysoisse soup
Bacon rolls with melted emmenthal cheese

Plus we had some rather sinful donuts during the race which probably need a 3-day offshore race at least to work off, not to mention the lemon cupcakes and choc-chip cookies too. Could mean a new set of sailing kit soon - a size larger!

However, there was lots of leaping around on our approach to Cowes Yacht Haven on Saturday afternoon as, due to an engine problem, we had to sail into our berth. Maybe it was a good job we had those donuts afterall!

PS
A Day At The Races came first in the LSC 2009/10 Frostbite Series
