A-30 Spinach Dip Lee and Ray Marks, X.S.IV.II, #434 We became Alberg owners in July of 1980, but our first big "outing" with the group occurred spring/summer of 1981 when a rendezvous was held way up the Wye River on a piece of property owned by Ralph Bluntschli. We were a little in awe of this adventure and wanted to bring something as a token of friendship. This was a new, untried recipe and we decided to share it with the group. Everyone loved it and we had many requests for the recipe. It then became one of our favorites because of the memory of the acceptance we felt from the Alberg Association. Boy, do we wish we had marketed the dip back then! It later became a big seller at Graul's and subsequently many other deli/grocery stores. In hindsight, though, the Alberg welcome was worth much more. 1 pkg. frozen chopped spinach 1 cup sour cream 1 cup mayonnaise or salad dressing 1 tsp. dill 1 tsp. oregano 1 Tbsp. Salad Supreme (a salad seasoning mix made by McCormick) 1 Tbsp. lemon juice 4 green salad onions, chopped pepper (coarse ground) to taste Thaw spinach and drain well. Mix with other ingredients. Sliced water chestnuts are an optional addition. Hollow out center of pumpernickel bread. Fill with spinach mixture. Cut hollowed out section into cubes to be used for dipping. You may want an extra loaf of bread for more cubes if the crowd is large or composed of Alberg 30 sailors. Crackers or veggies are equally good. When the bread "shell" is empty, cut into sections and enjoy. It is especially tasty the next day. This recipe previously appeared in the January 1983 Mainsheet. It's a cookbook In 1992, the Chesapeake Bay Alberg 30 Association published a cookbook filled with recipes contributed by members of the Association. In between the recipes are pen-and-ink drawings by Ward Rosenberry. Most of these recipes are suited to preparation aboard a boat with no oven. Others may be prepared ahead of time and taken along. A few are best for on-shore rendezvous. Most are accompanied with a story, such as the A-30 Spinach Dip recipe, above. Sometimes, the story eclipses the recipe. Past Commodore Gorman's Recipe for Succulent Steak à Deux with Small Sweet Peas and Golden Carrot Strips in a Light Creamy Sauce and accompanied by Sliced Potatoes in a Tangy Cheddar Cheese Sauce Pat Gorman, Limerick, #227 Our illustrious past commodore had promised us the recipe for his renowned "Vegetables in a Bag." When time came to deliver, he tried to evade us, preferring to keep his culinary secrets. We have convinced him to share this recipe, previously reserved for those times when Roberta is not preparing one of her delicacies. 1 Del Monte Vegetable Classic: garden duet 1 Del Monte Vegetable Classic: potatoes Au Gratin 2 succulent strip steaks, 3/8" thick 1 pot big enough to drown the 2 Del Monte Classics in 1 barbecue grill big enough to hold the 2 succulent steaks 1 bottle of hearty red wine to thin cholesterol Open cholesterol thinner and sip. Drown the Classics, still in the bags, in the pot and turn on the flame. Sip cholesterol thinner. Start the charcoal on the barbecue. Sip cholesterol thinner as water heats. When the water starts to boil, lower the heat to where it just keeps the boil going and note the time. Sip cholesterol thinner. Dust steaks with garlic pepper and continue to sip cholesterol thinner. Fifteen minutes later, consign steaks to grill for two-and-one-half minutes on a side (if you like your steak medium rare), sipping a little cholesterol thinner for each side. Remove steaks from flame, open Classics (poke holes with fork and watch out for trapped steam!) and serve, accompanied by remaining cholesterol thinner. If necessary, open a new bottle of thinner to go with dinner. Get your own copy These cookbooks were very popular when first published.
