Boats

This is the USS Salem at her slip next to the Fore River Bridge. I haven't boarded her in 5-6 years but it's an interesting tour. It's self-guided, so you can stay as long as you like. She was built here at the end of WWII and has returned in retirement.

This was the scene Saturday morning at Wollaston Beach. I don't know if it was poor navigation or exceptional navigation. On closer inspection, she is moored, and the stern is propped up by a couple of large rocks. I'm thinking engine trouble (out of fuel, maybe ?). I will stroll by this morning to see.

Rabbit and Veal Stew

I am not sure about any number of things but I'm pretty sure I'm the only person in Quincy cooking rabbit and veal at 9:30 in the morning. With our large Asian-American population, maybe I'm only sure about my building ! This is the rabbit cooking away in my cast-iron pot, and below is the veal, resting.

I kind of skimmed "The Joy of Cooking" and figured I couldn't screw this up too much. I bought the only rabbit they had at Stop & Shop and a package of stew veal. I will cut the rabbit off the bone, add some chicken stock and the veal, and simmer with potatoes, onions, and celery. Then I will add some flour to thicken.
