Marína Rebak na Langkawi už čeká

Zatím probíhá vše podle plánu. Na letišti jsem si vyměnil 100 singpurských dolarů (asi 1300Kč). To musí stačit. Potřeboval jsem na jednoho nebo dva taxíky a autobus napříč malajským poloostrovem. Může se to zdát jako trochu nepřiměřený komfort, ale těch 60kg zavazadel bylo opravdu trochu moc. První taxík mě přišel na 17 dolarů.

Vyškrábal jsem se do druhého patra obchodního domu, kde se nachází jachtařský obchod Marintech naší staré známé Jessie. Radostné setkání. Pozdravili jsme se anglicky, popovídali si čínsky. Vzal jsem si pár nezbytných věcí, které jsme si objednali, zaplatil a její pomocník mě potom hodil malým náklaďákem na stanici autobusů. Doufal jsem, že mi to pojede někdy kolem šesté večer, abych ráno byl u trajektu a před obědem na lodi v Langkawi.

Vegetable Chilli

By Jana Benešová

One day, after having spent the whole day sailing in our Mirror dinghy, we came home starving and wanted to eat as soon as possible. Also we were in a mood for something substantial, not only a slice of bread with something. And so I came up with this recipe that has become (in various modifications) one of our favorite “mexican” dishes.

Ingredients (2-4 servings):

1 onion
1-2 green peppers
3-4 tbs of corn
1/2 can of beans (baked, in tomato sauce, in chilli sauce, whichever is currently available)
optional: 1/2 can of chickpeas
1 can of tomatoes
salt, pepper and chilli powder

Salad with chickpeas

By Jana Benešová

We love salads. We can have them in almost any way. The following recipe was inspired by a dish by Jamie Oliver and it’s not only delicious but super quick – it won’t take more than 10 minutes to make.

Ingredients:

1 cup chickpeas
cherry tomatoes or tomatoes
1 quarter red onion pealed and finely sliced
cucumber
salad leaves
sprouts of any kind
herbs (eg. basil, mint…)
…

In fact anything you like or have available at the moment. The most important ingredient is chickpeas.
For the dressing: salt, pepper, lemon juice, olive oil (mix using the ratio 3:1)
