Porridge-1Recipe - /* Ingredients */

Perfect Porridge
Summary
Over several years, oatmeal has consistently been recommended for breakfast. It will reduce your waistline while giving you energy for a full morning. This porridge evolved as more scientific nutrional information was published. For example, maple syrup replaces brown sugar that was in the original version. Also, apparently the cinnamon brings out beneficial nutrients in the oatmeal. Buckwheat, chia and hemp are recent additions.
Modify to suit your taste.

- buckwheat groats (the flour has an iffy taste), 0.25 cu (87.5 ml)
- chia seeds, 0.25 cu (87.5 ml)
- hemp seeds, 0.25 cu (87.5 ml)
- cinnamon, 5 tspTeaspoon (25 ml)
- cardamom, 5 tsp
- nutmeg, 1.5 tsp (7.5 ml) tsp
- cocoa powder, 3 tblsp (45 ml)

Prepare Fruit
Slice, chop,dice or blend and add to stock pot:
- 2 apples
- 1 pear
- 2 bananas
Add Fluids
Add to stock pot and mix:
- 1 litre milk
Mix together and add to stock pot and stir:
- 500 ml boiling water (to well disperse the maple syrup)
- 50 ml maple syrup (if you use honey a larger quantity may be required)
- 1 tblsp olive oil or melted butter
Cook
Put the pot on very low heat and cook about 20 minutes. Stir frequently until it pops steam bubbles and reaches desired consistency. If you don’t stir it will stick to the pot and burn on the bottom. Don't say you weren't warned! [...Porridge-1Recipe...]Porridge-1Recipe - /* Add Fluids */

Meal Plan Checklist
Share your favourite cruising recipes here: Discussion/Comments
Summary
Meal planning is best done every two weeks, assuming you can dock and shop once a week. For longer periods you will have to plan correspondingly. Prepare meals or servings in advance as much as possible. Every day should have fruit, vegetable, whole grain and protein choices.
AAmpere (amp), SI unit of electrical current #template is included.
Meal Planning
1. The first step every week is to check the supplies of staples and similar provisions, to see if they need topping up. The best way to manage this is to have a stocking level and a re-stock threshold for each item. This means that when you have used some, and you only have X amount left, then it is time to re-stock the item to restore the stocking level. Use up the items based on the First In First Out (FIFOFirst in first out) principle to avoid stale-dating them.
2. Next, for the coming two-week period plan the meals for each day. This will depend on the supplies and perishables you have available, the recipes on hand that fit your skill level, and making healthy choices based on a food guide. Every day should have fruit, vegetable, whole grain and protein choices with a low glycemic level to avoid obesity.
Your approach might differ, but it is probably easiest to plan all the breakfasts first, then all the lunches, and so forth.
3. List the recipes and ingredients needed for each day. There are apps to do this but they require you to key in all of your recipes first. Meh.
4. Do the weekly shopping for missing ingredients and staples to re-stock the provisions. [...MealPlanChecklist...]LightingDesign - /* LED */

Lighting Design
Summary
To reduce energy consumption all lighting except in the engine room should be DCDirect current, fitted with dimmer switches where appropriate. The engine room can have dual DC and ACAlternating current lighting. The latter will make it easier to work in the engine room when connected to shore power, especially if the DC system must be disconnected. The long tube length of fluorescents will give more even illumination than other types of lighting. However, the DC lighting should give sufficient illumination for work at sea.
The ideal daylight lamp for ambient lighting will have a colour temperature of 2700 Kelvin (KKelvin, SI unit of thermodynamic temperature) at a wavelength of 555 nanometres (nmNanometer), a Colour Rendering Index (CRIColour Rendering Index) greater than 84, and produce 100 lumens per input watt.
In the pilothouse, use blue-green (507 nm) or turquoise (495 nm) LEDs for night vision. Use dim white for reading colours on maps.
Lighting Criteria
All of the light types discussed below are available in low-voltage DC. Dimmer switches can be used with most tungsten and halogen lights but only certain types of fluorescent. Make sure the dimmer switch is compatible with the light and its wattage. In a marine environment, use double-pin ungrounded lamps for all types.
Lighting must satisfy several criteria:
- Illumination (light output)
- Colour (biological and visual comfort)
- Energy efficiency (amount of light output for a given energy input)
- Application (ambient, accent, task and utility)
