    Hardtack vs. plaster

    Question:

    My husband can't tell the difference between my homemade hardtack and dried plaster. What does that mean?

    Signed,

    Answer:
    Dear Ms. Cook,

    The fact that your husband can't tell the difference between your homemade hardtack and dried plaster means that you've perfected your hardtack recipe. It can also save you a few dollars because dried plaster is usually cheaper than the ingredients for hardtack.

    Happy sailing and don't let the bilge rates bite,
