Belinda you fed me many times as a visiting technician on the upper. Thank you a ton!! I felt right at home when you were cooking, I felt like I was family the way you treated me, and I felt like I was at my grandmothers the way you cooked soo well!
Thanks for the memories! I was out there 1976-81.
I wish I had a cell back then to record the all the sights and experiences!!!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸⚓
Belinda was one of the best cooks I rode with and the nicest women to.
I would bet Belinda is the best cook around now im hungry
never ever piss off your cook
Most defiantly not the way it was when I was "out there". You ate what the cook fixed which usually reflected what the cap. wanted. However, it was always good!!!
Bless her. She's the mama of the ship.
I bet a great cook on the boat is the best morale builder there is. Just like the army
There's only a few bad cooks on the river.The first rule when boarding a towboat for your hitch is to watch your mouth around the cook and don't cuss unless she cusses first.
On the lakes I never had a bad cook.All were good, a few were great. Up to date mail was an issue for me. This was before E-mail. I always wanted to work on ther Mississippi. What apart of history that would have been.
@@davidwadsworth8982 You still can.
I've never seen a bad cook, except for the time they asked me to ride over & fill in as cook while she went home for an emergency.
They won't never do that again.
One time,we were waiting for our lock turn & the crew from another company boat came by in their yawl(small boat) to beg our cook,"Miss Nancy, would you cook our eggs? Jimmy (their own cook?) doesn't know what he's doing over there!"
@@doughesson I am TOO OLD son, I turn 71 21 November. Now if I ever get that Time Machinme I seek and pray for, we could be shipmates. I filled in for a week as the 2nd cook just once. Did a good breakfast, made solid coffee, snacks on my own, just followed orderes dinner and supper. I miss being out there on the water soooo much it hurts. But I am so blessed. I got to be a soldier, and a merchant mariner.To me that is so cool. Safe transits my friend.
@@davidwadsworth8982 I'm 56,was 42 when I was back on deck in order to get my Master 100 tons-Western Rivers license renewed after letting it expire.
I broke my leg when the towboat slammed a barge into the dock so that the hopper could be loaded farther away from the dock.
Been off the river 13 years now & still miss it.
@@davidwadsworth8982 God Bless you brother
I would LOVE someone to cook for me every day and I would then make her my QUEEN!
I just heard a guy who is in his 70's mention a cook they called Arkansas Ma. Said all the guys loved her. She raised 11 sons. He said she was the best cook on the river. Anyone else ever heard of her?
SHUT the Refrigerator Door already... @ 1:28... 😱😳🥴
First thing I thought when she was standing there with it open. 😂😉
In Dubuque Iowa they have a river boat that was a Dredger (cleaning the bottom of the Mississippi)> Retired in the early 70s. Its a museum now. Its amazing a boat that was built in the 20s or 30s would have such a nice kitchen and dining area.
"cleaning the bottom of the Mississippi"? Scrubbing the dirt eh? lol
Best cook in the world!!!
Good music choices!
Western Rivers employee here🤙🏼
Hey man...what's for lunch?...w/t out
Wish my boat had a cook
There's something strange about that crew. We don't eat cake, only fruit salad. We want maintain our girlish figures. Humm....
Half the cooks on the river can't make the boxed cakes edible. They're usually dry and they put them in a 9x13 pyrex instead of layering a circle.
SAME AS OTHER ANY KITCHEN
I'm an Ex Military Cook

Здравствуйте, есть открытые вакансии, какие требования для трудоустройства? У вас совмещённая работа? Как можно трудоустроиться?
Hey Sergei, I don't know if you still want in the industry but now is the time to apply of you do! Search Indeed for jobs as a deckhand and go from there
@@system.warfare Yeah, everybody needs deck crew, but cooks.. not as much.
Mrs Richards: "I paid for a room with a view !"
Basil: (pointing to the lovely view) "That is Torquay, Madam ."
Mrs Richards: "It's not good enough!"
Basil: "May I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window ? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically past?..."
Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea!"
Basil: "You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky."
Mrs Richards: "I'm not satisfied. But I shall stay. But I expect a reduction."
Basil: "Why?! Because Krakatoa's not erupting at the moment ?"
Weight conscious crew should spend a little time in the gym and eat stuff that makes them happy and alert! I’d love to see some chow times with example of the cooking!
If they're having weight problems, clearly the Captain isn't working them hard enough to burn off all that good cooking.
Put a little rose water in the fruit salad...XXOOP...
Cooking on the river........no food was shown. Typical Ingram click bait
dand woman now i,m hungry to
30 day tours? can't be union boats.
Which is a good thing
Orgulf transports(Bought out by Ingram)was a Union shop & I rode 30 on,30 off for them.
@@doughesson SIU Boats? We did 14 on 14 off. Not even Great lake Bulk Carriers still do 30 straight anymore.
@@davidwadsworth8982 Yeah.im still SIU so when a job demands that I join the Union, I just break out the paperwork.
I mean, 28 or 30 is standard.
Salt substitute damn near killed my grandma you have to have so much salt
