Emtbsam Posted July 16 #21276 Share Posted July 16 I forgot to mention, I also just replaced my La Pavoni espresso machine. The Gaggia Factory, made by La Pavoni, died after 24 years. I have never had anything by Gaggenau, but my dishwasher is also 30 years old, so I might have a chance. I do love kitchen appliances although I am not the chef that so many of the Coolers are.

I have virtually no appliances Lois, and am certainly not a chef. I like my coffee made in my cafetiere/French press best of all. However, I do like nice and interesting food. A bit of a problem unless you eat out all the time. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mchell810 Posted July 16 #21279 Share Posted July 16 All the cat photos are lovely and making me miss having a cat. My last darling, Maya passed in 2 years ago and I decided it was best not to have pets as I travel so much. Looking at these beauties makes me want to rethink that decision.

Maya 😍 Same situation here. When my runway gets shorter, as a friend recently called it, I might get a dog for a change. Cairn terrier or English bulldog, something like that. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lincslady Posted July 16 #21283 Share Posted July 16 Seeing all the lovely cats and dogs on here recently gave me a calm, happy feeling - maybe we should try to have one of each posted at some time every day, as well as the funnies. The cats who hate each other really count as a funny. Anyone feel the same? 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissSophia Posted July 16 #21284 Share Posted July 16 I truly believe animals do have a calming presence, making one smile too. I got my beautiful boy just after l lost my hubby twelve years ago and l can’t begin to tell you how much joy and pleasure he’s brought into my life…. DD tells me he gets treated far better than she ever did! 😉 😊 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lois, in my last abode l had some Whirlpool appliances…best I’ve ever had…sadly had to leave them behind as my kitchen here isn’t big enough… My mother was a brilliant cook and taught me a lot….but chef standard I’m not, l am however told that my traditional Sunday lunches are the best so I’m happy with that even though l now rarely cook them due to arthritic hands which can make me quite dangerous in the kitchen! 😊 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Lola, you have a refrigerator and an oven though? Those and a microwave are the extent of my kitchen appliances.........and I use a Cusinart Single serve coffee machine (their version of a Kureig.)

lincslady Posted July 16 #21291 Share Posted July 16 Well yes, I admit to a fridge, cooker and seldom used microwave. And part of the fridge for frozen things. Otherwise I would certainly go hungry. I have to take my cafetiere and coffee to stay with son or daughter; don't like her machine coffee, and he and his wife do not make coffee, full stop. If they have people to dinner I imagine they just offer them tea after! I only have it at breakfast time, but am grumpy if I don't get it. One of the few complaints about breakfast on ships - I ended up last few times having a double espresso put in a large cup and filled up with their slightly weedy coffee. Yes, Jeff, I love the Times animal photos, they too brighten up your day. My main extravagance is having the paper edition delivered every day, ridiculous I know but I feel the need. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Port Power Posted July 16 #21292 Share Posted July 16 @mysty, I need to pick your brain. I haven’t even been on my first World Cruise yet (January next year), yet I am considering putting down a deposit on Silversea’s 2027 World Cruise. Am I mad? I would have posted this question on your WC thread, but I couldn’t find it. 😕 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Off the Danish coast, but still Germany. 27 minutes ago, Port Power said: I was staying with friends in Niebul a couple of weeks ago. We went to Sylt/Zylt on my last visit. Beautiful holiday location. Lots of good eateries. It is my favourite place, I return at least once a year, sometimes twice. Perfect climate for me, 40 km of beach to walk, UNESCO nature reserve Wattenmeer, most Michelin star restaurants in one place in Germany, and a lovely hotel (Hotel Stadt Hamburg) where they treat me like a duchess. Love the bone dry Frisian humour too. Frisian funeral: 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grand Duchess Posted July 16 #21300 Share Posted July 16 Thankfully direct flights from Zurich in high season, 1 hour 25 minutes and I'm there. Deutsche Bahn being in shambles, I try to avoid it whenever possible. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
