Sunday November 23, 2025
When I started my day, I saw that we had already quietly made our way through the entire river while I slept. I hope it will be during the daylight hours on the way back down. This time of year, there are many weather-related delays, so I will have to be patient. I like to make Sundays special, and making cinnamon buns makes another day on the ship feel more special than the rest. I have been on the Atlantic Huron three times over the past three years, and many of the crew were happy to see the cinnamon bun Sunday tradition return. I smiled when one crew member came up from the engine room for lunch and said they had been thinking about the cinnamon buns all morning. I placed the mound of cinnamon bun dough in a large bowl and set it in a warm spot close to the stove to rise. I made a Vegetable potage soup. Before I join a ship, I have a logbook printed. In the back of the book are menu suggestions and recipes I use frequently, with ingredients listed, so I can glance at them quickly for a reminder. I am not able to keep them all in my head anymore; there are too many. I also have a page for each day of the week to note the meals I made and any notes or information for myself: make more next time, make less. I also make a list of the plates I leave on the counter for those who are sleeping or working, and they ask for a plate to be set aside for them. I glanced back at my logbook to see what I had made for lunch on Sunday, but
the page was blank. Too busy to fill it in. I had to rely on my pictures to tell me the story, but I only had the picture of the shrimp rice and fresh peas.
