San Miguel, Tenerife

We are now back to having just the two of us on the boat, both Alex and Sean are now safely back in the UK after spending three weeks on board. We dropped them off at the airport with the hire car we have rented for three days.

Yesterday we went up to Santa Cruz to do some shopping at IKEA and Carrefour, we filled the car to the roof, with loads of pasta, sauces, tinned food, fresh food and beer of course, we spent most of the day organising the location of the food, now having three locations we have nicknamed, long term, medium term and short term storage, not sure we have got this right at the moment as the beer is in the medium term location?

We bought an electric toaster, which we can use when on shore power, this being one of the things I was missing and I am glad to say is working a treat!

Also we bought a pressure cooker, which will speed things up on the cooking front, reducing the amount of gas we use, cant be a bad thing, so today we will be doing some research on recipes for use with a pressure cooker any suggestions will be welcome!

We have the car for one more day, so we will be getting our monies worth and no doubt visiting more shops!
