Stocking up the galley

£39.03 onto our Asda shopping order for stuff for the boat ...

Stock cubes (beef, veg and chicken)
2 tins Irish Stew
2 tins Minced Beef and Onion
2 tins Chicken Tikka Masala
2 tins Hot Pot
2 tins Chilli Con Carne (well I'll eat 'em!)
2 tins Beef Stew
2 tins Chicken in White Sauce
2 tins Macaroni Cheese
4 tins All Day Breakfast
4 tins Full Monty (like breakfast but more so)
4 tins The Big BBQ (not quite like a breakfast)
Mixed Herbs
Can opener (an expensive one, lets hope it actually works)

I've also ordered myself a Bubba Desk Mug for £4.00 - a plastic insulated mug with a wide base holding about 560ml. I'm hoping it'll be as good as the plastic insulated mugs we used to have on Arcturus 'cos the stainless steel travel mugs don't keep stuff hot for very long and are prone to falling over. If the Bubba mug is any good, we'll have some more of them in due course.

There's already adequate stocks of tinned vegetables and boil in the bag rice etc. that Jane and I left on board last week. Coupled with the above, we should now be reasonably well stocked for "stick it in the pan and warm it up" meals for the rest of the season, replenishing only what we run out of as we go along.

And on that note, it occurs to me that we ought to log what has been used for each meal out of the ships stores - not worried about perishables as they are brought on board by the crew at the start of a trip and removed again at the end. But it might be a good idea to log any tinned or packet stores consumed and the replenishment thereof (including how much it cost to replace consumed stores).
