The Seattle Boat Show is approaching and that means I get to visit Pike Place Market on my early morning run. After beginning my run down south on 1st St my arrival at the market is the news agent on the corner of south arcade. It pops with color and a dizzying array of magazines that adorn the long stands. The morning paper is a must along with a peak at the international newspaper headlines. There’s a little warmth in the arcade made even warmer with the wafting smell of fresh baked donuts intermixed with a hint of something mysterious yet familiar. As I wander down the arcade I recognize the mystery scent as curry from Saffron Spice. Oh, a Chai tea would be a treat but they are not open. Daily Dozen Donuts are and they are in full production but it’s a little too early for donuts.

Further down the arcade there’s a bit of orderly shouting and as I reach the end I collide with a gathering of people. I’ve now standing in the Pike Place Fish Co and they’ve been selling fish since 6:30am. I’m looking rather like a stunned mullet under the glare of their display lights when a chap in gumboots, cap and long white apron approaches. “Morning, I’m Ryan. Would you like to try some alderwood smoked salmon? Well that’s hard to resist and as I bring the morsel to my lips there’s a shout and unison chant from the other fish mongers and the next minute a large salmon from the ice display is hurtling through the air. It’s swiftly caught, between the head and tail fin, by the counterman who promptly wraps it in a sheet of paper. Not quiet what I’m in the market for, I’ll be happy with a some smoked salmon thanks.

Simply The Best, across from the Fish Co, are not to be overlooked. Their dried fruits can become addictive and choosing their variety of apple chips is made fun with tasty samples. As I turn to stroll north I find myself at the heart of the market directly beneath the famous neon clock and beside Rachel the Market’s life-sized bronze piggy bank. Since 1980 she’s been “bring home the bacon, raising over $200,000 to date. I make my donation and pat her nose for the rumored good luck. At 25 years old Rachel is a rather new comer to the Market which started in 1907 when councilman Thomas Revelle proposed that farmers by pass the middle man and connect directly to the consumers by bringing there wagons to town. On opening day eight farmers were overwhelmed by thousands eager shoppers and at the end of the year the first Market building opened. Today the Market covers 9 acres featuring over 500 venders and 200 street performers.

The arcade stretches for seemingly ever. I’m now conscious of time, I’m truly supposed to be out running but the displays and samples are so tempting. Oooh, fresh berries, flavored pastas, chocolate covered cherries, delicate clams, exotic fruits, earthy vegetables and flowering bouquets. I step out onto Pike Place determined to be on my run home but look, there’s the original Starbucks although it pale’s to the queue that’s snaking out of the inviting French bakery Le Panier. With little time for queuing I jogged on only to halt in my tracks at Beecher’s window mesmerized by the milk truck pumping milk into the open whirring vat. Need I mention their homemade cheeses are heavenly. O.K, I’ll succumb to a treat; a hot berry scone from Cinnamon Works, now I really must run!

Our planned departure in French Polynesia from Maupiti to visit Hina on Mopelia, 100 miles to the WSW, was delayed due to light headwinds. To utilize the calm conditions I choose to teach sail repair and was in the midst of class when we heard a boat approaching. Popping up on deck we sighted Hina’s father, a Tahitian chap and a young women all perched on a boatload of bundles and boxes obviously destined for Mopelia.

As we were pondering where we could stash the huge pile of supplies the Tahitian chap looked Mahina Tiare’s name and in a questioning voice said “John?” Incredibly, Marcello had remembered a visit John had made to Mopelia 23 years earlier and written about in Mahina Tiare, Pacific Passages. Back then Marcello and his wife Adrienne were newlyweds, had no children (four would follow, the youngest was in the boat) and were living an idyllic life in an amazing thatch stilt house perched over the lagoon.

Marcello quickly bought us up to date. A cyclone had swept across the 6' high island washing their house and most of the coconut palms into the lagoon. They’d saved their babies by placing them in an old freezer which thankfully floated as successive waves roared over the island. Currently Adrienne and Fiamona, their daughter, were on Mopelia helping their son Hio establish a pearl shell farm and build a house.

Ideal conditions prevailed for our sail to Mopelia although on entering the lagoon it was hard to pinpoint Hio’s settlement amongst the thick coconut trees. I gave a blast on the fog horn and within minutes a few people ran down the beach, launched a boat and came to greet us. Adrienne was thrilled with our visit and John was equally pleased to note she was still full of life and humor. Hio was keen to show us the intricate house he was constructing for which Adrienne and Fiamona were weaving coconut leaves for the thatching.

Upon offering us coconuts Hio promptly shimmed up and down palms tossing down choice nuts. Adrienne deftly peeled away the husks on a large stake driven into the ground, before hacking openings in the nuts with a large machete. The immature green coconut water was delicious refreshing and the marshmallow flesh was eagerly scooped out with a spoon fashioned from the outer coconut and slurped down. If you live on Mopelia you best become skillful at harvesting coconuts as copra (dried coconut meat) provides the only cash income.

We were then put to work grating nuts. Adrienne made the task of sitting upon the grater base and grating the meat, on the rounded rasp between her knees, into a bowl fashioned from half an old mooring ball, held by her feet, look easy. We certainly blundered a few nuts by not mastering the method of nut rotation and ended up with a multitude of dark husk in our coconut. Creating coconut milk was a breeze; just warp up the grated coconut in a clean cloth then wring out the milk. Meanwhile Hio started the wood cooking fire while Fiamona waded into the lagoon to the lobster pen returning with an armload of bounty for an impromptu feast.

Our remaining time of Mopelia was certainly festive. Dinner parties and adventures were arranged and enjoyed equally by those ashore and the few other visiting yachts of several nationalities. Food and drink was plentiful thanks to the abundance of coconuts and all its variations, which inspired the following recipes, although if you wished for something strong to drink Hio was always eager to offer a glass of his fiery home-brewed coconut toddy.

Easter at Roche Harbor Resort is a special time as you get to truly believe that spring has arrived. It all starts with a hive of activity at the marina on Friday as yachts arrive from many locations mainly in three groups; the Beaver Cruise Club, Point Roberts Yacht Club and the Royal Victoria Yacht Club who celebrate their Easter Cruise arrival with an appetizer and wine welcome.

The Resort always plans a busy Easter weekend with an open invitation for all to join in the fun. On Saturday at 1:00pm Easter Bunny leaves 3,850 eggs boiled eggs on the Marina Party Barge for dying. Last year I got to visit with a very busy little boy, Davis Kill-Shul. The egg dying activity fascinated two-year-old Davis and with the help of Grandpa Ed they were having a grand time filling multiple trays with colored eggs. Hailing from Point Roberts they were visiting aboard Ed’s 32’ Bayliner.

Julie’s Egg Dying Recipe

Julie, a summertime liveaboard sailor, is Roche Harbor’s long time event coordinating and supporting “Happy Helper” and this is her ole time family recipe.

1 cup warm water
3 tablespoons vinegar
15 to 30 drops food coloring to achieve the desired color hue

Combine all ingredients in a cup for each colorant. The vinegar is easily ingested and acts as a mordant, allowing the egg shells to accept and hold the dye.

The Party Tent hosts an evening potluck for the Royal Vic cruisers or perhaps it’s an early night for the little ones in anticipation of tomorrow’s big day. Now it’s Sunday and time to dress in ones finest spring party frock or outfit for 10:30 Easter Mass at Our Lady of Good Voyage Chapel. At 12:30 a large colorful crowd gathers outside the resort’s centerpiece Hotel De Haro. Built in 1886 by Tacoma lawyer John McMillin the hotel was the center of a company town grown up around the mining of lime deposits from the surrounding stone. But today the main attraction is the welcoming of Easter Bunny for he wants to wish every a Happy Easter. To help him out Miss Carrot offers mini foiled chocolate eggs from her colorful basket while Chef Todd offers sophisticated deviled eggs served from a silver platter.

The excitement climaxes at 1:00 pm as the Easter egg hunt begins. Those up to 3-years-old toddle behind the white picket fences in the graciously laid out rose garden originally planted at the turn of the 20th century by McMillin’s wife Louella. Adjacent to the rose garden the clean lines of old hedging and cobbled walkways contain the profusion of plantings known as the formal garden and its here that the 4 to 6-year-olds torment the plants in their hunt. Meanwhile those aged 7 to 11-years actively search in the pavilion courtyard. All are hopeful to find the coveted gold and silver eggs.

Prizes are awarded to those who find the metallic eggs but everyone is a winner for baskets are now ever so laden with colored boiled eggs. Perhaps the following recipes will be of help if you’re at a loss as to what to do with all those eggs.

Surreal; a small word that does little justice to the Valhalla I’ve entered upon being guided to our dinning table inside the “Moulin Rouge” spiegeltent of Teatro ZinZanni by a perky Viking wench. I instantly feel a connection to Alice in Wonderland or perhaps Dorothy in Oz for I’m now far, far removed for a dark, wet and chilly Seattle evening. A warm red glow baths the 1910 high pitched circular tent that resembles an illuminated vintage kaleidoscope with its bounty of colored glass and glinting mirrors although amongst the imagery hairy masked creatures lurk lusting after Freya’s golden apples.

An announcement declares we’re here by invitation from the Nordic gods of Wotan and Thor along with the goddesses Freya and Frika, and least not forget their eclectic gang, to help celebrate the end of the world with an exquisite adventure. We daren’t refuse their generosity for John and I have recently decided to return to the land of the Vikings with our sailing expeditions and we best be on the good side of Wotan; chief to the gods and keeper of covenants and promises.

Our scrumptious feasting and partying extend far beyond dazzling cabarets transcending into astounding cirque performances that need to be seen only to be believed for they held us spellbound. Thankfully I’d gleaned a peak at scenes such as In the Bathtub, Red Bottoms, Wotan Rap and Vertical Tango for I’d had the opportunity to chat with Teatro ZinZanni’s executive chef Erik Carlson.

Amanda with Teatro ZinZanni’s executive chef Erik Carlson.

Dressed in flaming pirate pants, emblem embroidered black chef’s jacket topped with a bowler hat Erick defies your average chef perception but as captain of the Teatro ZinZanni’s dinning experience he is responsible for the evening’s 300 dinners. With the goal to bring the food into the light of every Teatro ZinZanni show themed menus that reflect on the story are created. Speakers broadcast the performance into the kitchen and on cue meals are delivered to the guests. Hard cider and crafted ales braised the pork belly and beef short ribs that graced our Ragnarock feast and in the dessert finale the hammer of Thor accompanied Freya’s golden apples.

If you’re requiring an accompaniment for your next performance take the stage with one of the following recipes courtesy of Erik.

In addition to an evening of perfect extravaganza what also made an impression on me is that Teatro ZinZanni is a non-profit organization dedicated to the art of helping us mere mortals transcend mortality and expand the realms of those aged 5 to 17 with circus workshops.
