Ruth's Fettuccine Alfredo from the BVI

 Last week this was my view.

I took that picture on Anegada in the British Virgin Islands on November 1st.  Notable, because November 1st was the first day of Lobster season.  We were all excited to eat lobster and it was good!  Bruce didn't like the lobster much so I got extra helpings of lobster.


I was on a sailing vacation Bruce's sister's family.  That's Bruce's sister Ruth and her husband Mike.  Mike was our fine boat captain, Ruth was the first mate.  What a fabulous vacation it was. I loved the gentile ocean breezes and the sailing and the fishing and the snorkeling and the food and...

This is one of our meals that Ruth cooked, Fettuccine Alfredo with chicken and broccoli.  It was very easy and very good. Especially when eaten on the bow of a sailboat in the Virgin Islands.  I bet Blackbeard never ate this good.


Here's the recipe from Ruth:

Fettuccine Alfredo

8 ounces cream cheese
1 cup parmesan cheese 
½ cup butter
1 cup half and half

Combine and stir over low heat till smooth.  Add cooked shrimp, chicken or steamed vegitables and serve over 8 ounces of cooked fettuccine.
