OK. So the question that I get, “Where is this place?” That’s easy. We had our 1905 kitchen remodeled several years ago and we turned it into The Captain’s Shack. It is our kitchen. It’s where we come up with some of these recipes and dinners. It’s the Tooltime of the Kitchen. The ideas and suggestions for the recipes and things come from a variety of sources – The Food Network, Chopped,Guy’s Grocery Games. You get the idea – all of those places suggest recipes and dinners. We just alter them – make them better, so to speak. And the number of CS (Captain’s Shack) recipes are increasing and, therefore, need a page of their own on this blog. So. That is what this page is for – a repository of recipes from The Captain’s Shack. Enjoy!
