BEVERLY BOURQUE Occupation: Retired from rodeo, cooking on a ship Community connection: Volunteers with seafarers. Fast fact: A Beauxart Gardens street is named for her. Quick Quote: “I still drink Cokes hot,” said the international traveler. When Beverly Bourque’s friends from Manila dock in town, they get together to whip up chicken and yellow rice. “I’ve met different people from around the world,” said the Port Arthur woman who’s enjoyed a surf & turf life of a ship’s cook and rodeo rider. Cooking was a way to the heart of vessels full of men who still keep in touch. The Nederland native says that back in the day, ships set sail with huge cuts of meat that had to be portioned. Now everything’s more “pre-fab,” she said. “I made pies and cakes from scratch,” she said. “Home-cooked meals are the best because you take time to cook it and season it.”
