Mongolian Bar-B-Q


What a feast! Chief certainly knows how to feed us well. Tonight was Mongolian Bar-B-Q night. We had a hint this afternoon when we saw mountains of shrimp being peeled just after lunch. That's always a good sign.

As we came into the mess at 5:00 (as early as we're allowed) we were greeted with a sumptuous salad bar and mountains of fresh raw red peppers, green peppers, yellow peppers, onions, spinach, beef, chicken, shrimp, scallops and mahi mahi for the grill. This is a meal cooked to order and fit for a king. Pile everything you want into a bowl and hand it to the chief, 5 minutes later ... your very own dish. Pile it on top of fresh steamed rice and you can't ask for a happier group of sailors. Frank and Jason seem pretty stoked :-)
