0106 replied to richwmn's topic in Holland America Line
I am a book lover, an actual book, not an ereader. I am lucky enough to have a wonderful public library with a drive through window. I order books online and pick the up weekly. I enjoy mysteries, the best one I read this year was called “The Maid" by Nita Prose. I also like historical fiction, I suggest “Lessons in Chemistry" by Bonnie Garmus about a woman chemist in the 1960s. I’d love to hear about the best books you read this year.- 90 replies

Do you really eat Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner on HAL?
0106 replied to zhuangcorp's topic in Holland America Line
@zhuangcorpLido Late Night was 10:30-11:30 every night on my cruise in February. It was a large and varied offering but we did not usually partake. We occasionally shared a dessert if we had skipped it in the MDR at dinner. -

I have been lucky enough to paddle and camp along the PA portion of the Susquehanna River Trail. Never made it to the headwater in NY. Did you know it is the longest River on the east coast, 444 miles.- 89 replies

I am 61 and have been cruising on HAL for 25 years. We choose HAL because we do not want an amusement park. We enjoy the outstanding services on the ship. On sea days we wake early, exercise, read, enjoy meeting people by the pool, play trivia, have a relaxing dinner, listen to music in BB King or Rolling Stones room and go to bed. Perhaps we are “old souls”.

I edited my post incorrectly…wish I could delete it and start over… need more coffee. I have been lucky enough to see many historic lighthouses on the Chesapeake Bay. Closest to my home is the Concord Point Lighthouse in Havre de Grace. It is the 2nd oldest in MD built in 1827. It is located where the Susquehanna River meets the Bay. Info about Thomas Point Lighthouse is correct. Sorry for the double post.- 89 replies

Baltimore - Amtrak, hotel, taxis or shuttles.... oh my!
0106 replied to Gma&Gpa's topic in East Coast Departures
If you are only in Baltimore for one night, I would take the direct train to Penn Station, use Uber to go directly to the Marriott property on McHenry Row, eat breakfast/lunch at the Iron Rooster, dinner at LP Steamers, Uber to port. If you want to sightsee you are right next to Ft McHenry. -

Hiroshima Day is celebrated every year to promote peace among nations and to create awareness about the devastating results of nuclear weapons. The day is observed every year as a reminder of the brutal killings of innocent civilians. The day plays a key role in making anti-war and anti-nuclear policies a priority in international relationships.- 78 replies

Take advantage of the bounty of summer squash by creating a shaved squash salad. Summer squash is low in calories, they have little to no cholesterol, fat, and sodium. Zucchini and yellow squash boast vitamins A and C, potassium, plus fiber. Like most produce, you'll want to avoid peeling the skin because that’s where most of the nutrients are stored. A simple salad served over ricotta. https://www.tastingtable.com/686305/summer-squash-ricotta-salad-recipe-vegetarian/ A refreshing combination of shaved zucchini ribbons, corn, feta, walnuts and fresh herbs is tossed in a lemony vinaigrette. https://lepetiteats.com/marinated-zucchini-salad/ Marinated overnight in vinegar and sugar, this recipe reminds me of a pickle. It can also be made with cucumbers (I slice them). I make it frequently in the summer https://www.myrecipes.com/recipe/marinated-zucchini-yellow-squash-salad- 114 replies

Chicken parmigiana encompasses everything we love about Italian food in one bite. It’s on the menu at every “red sauce” eatery across the country. It’s found its way tucked into a hero or plated with a side of spaghetti. It’s been pounded with a mallet, coated with breadcrumbs, covered in sauce, and topped with cheese in home kitchens and gourmet restaurants for longer than any of us can remember. In the Old World, that’s Italy prior to the large-scale emigration of Italians to America—proteins like chicken were not widely available. As such, parmigiana was made with breaded, fried slices of eggplant in place of chicken for a dish called melanzane alla Parmigiana. When Italians arrived in America, chicken replaced eggplant as the centerpiece in the dish. They found the expensive proteins of their homeland were far more affordable and accessible in the meat markets of the new world. Such proteins included pork, beef, and veal, which all became wildly popular ingredients in many “new” favorites, including another Italian American creation, the meatball. These newly minted Italian American home cooks not only devised unique dishes based on what was available, but also adapted existing recipes to the new world’s meat-centric menu—altering many classics into newfound creations, including chicken parmigiana. Chicken parmigiana eventually spread to restaurants and published cookbooks of the 1950s. Variations aside, chicken parmigiana as you know it always contains the same basic ingredients: chicken breast, often butterflied, breadcrumbs, Italian seasonings, tomato sauce, and mozzarella cheese. These ingredients can see minor changes depending on the cook’s preference, but for the most part, when you order “chicken parm” in a restaurant or your mom says it’s what’s for dinner, you know what you’re getting. This recipe for sheet pan chicken parmesan is no mess, no fuss, and no frying. I love the addition of cherry tomatoes to the sheet pan instead of the traditional tomato sauce. I think using Panko instead of breadcrumbs leads to crispier chicken. https://damndelicious.net/2022/05/20/sheet-pan-chicken-parmesan/ This recipe adds potatoes to the sheet pan. Once the chicken is cooked, marinara sauce and mozzarella cheese is placed on top the chicken and then the pan is put under the broiler. https://www.thecountrycook.net/sheet-pan-chicken-parmesan-recipe/ This recipe is not for a sheet pan; it is made in an air fryer. Many of my friends use their air fryers almost daily. It contains a recipe for homemade sauce. https://www.foodandwine.com/recipes/air-fryer-chicken-parmesan- 129 replies

Trying to Book Complimentary Dining on Zuiderdam
0106 replied to Troubador222's topic in Holland America Line
I was on the Zuiderdam for two weeks in February of this year. At that time there was no Tamarind restaurant. I can’t imagine it being added in the past 6 months but perhaps someone who has sailed on her more recently will chime in.
