Maybe I should have called this the Galley Surprise, since despite all the planning, sometimes thigs occur that disrupts the careful planning. Like: “The Russians and Ukrainians are lobbing drones at each other. Some of them are going off-course and hitting targets in places like Romania.<\/p>\n

That nation has been a full member of NATO since March 29, 2004. Under the terms of the Alliance, an attack on one member is supposed to be considered an attack on all of them.<\/p>\n

So, these days we wake up wondering if the Third World War started and we missed the claxons banging to announce the start.Which is how I got in trouble over the Kraft Grated Cheese. I normally keep a 4.5 pound jug of that powdery stuff from Kraft in the back of the Galley \u2018fridge. it is a good back-up product and shelf-life is long for incidents like this. The wheel of Parmigiano Reggiano ($355) I got in January was down to scraps, and at just a little less than $400 per wheel, it is something I have to think about to fit with the monthly food budget.<\/p>\n

Today. I got no Reggiano, but I have Kraft, plenty of dry noodles and a new box of butter sticks. I always have my pre-mixed spice loads packaged, so if I have to feed a crowd of unexpected Romanians, I am completely prepared!<\/p>\n

And who knows, they may be about to announce PEACE!<\/p>\n

Ooops. Wrong War. Sorry! I will get this straight after the noodles are done!<\/p>\n
