Rare rafinmd Posted June 27, 2021 #3 Share Posted June 27, 2021 Thank you for the Sunday Daily, Rich. I'll pass on the Onions and Bingo but love sunglasses (well, now adaptive lenses). I like the Chesterton quote. Sadly, I've never been to Plymouth. Despite living in Maryland (or perhaps because I'm not a native) I'll pass on the crab cakes. My alternative is Lemonade and Chocolate Chip Cookies, typically served at the end of On Deck for a Cause.

Rare puppycanducruise Posted June 27, 2021 #4 Share Posted June 27, 2021 Good morning. Thanks for the Daily Report. Love fried onions, I love my sunglasses, but I rarely play Bingo. Interesting quote. The meal suggestion sounds interesting, but I have a beef roast to put in the slow cooker for us. Hope the wine and drink of the day are good too. We have been to England but not to Plymouth. We were supposed to be there on a cruise this summer, but that will not happen. Sending prayers for everyone. Have a wonderful Sunday. Stay safe. 22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare VMax1700 Posted June 27, 2021 #6 Share Posted June 27, 2021 Good morning to all from a warm and sunny Cork - (no, not the one in the bottle, the one in Ireland 😁) Currently showing 17°C (63F) and a nice breeze. It is expected to hit 20°C (68F) later in the afternoon. Just back in the house after taking grand doggy for a walk. He is really a 'house' dog and got very excited by all the smells when walking outside. I have never seen a dog sniff so many flowers and plants. Maybe he want to be a vegan? Positive thoughts to all on the care list. Wasn't last night's sailaway exciting? 31 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Himself Posted June 27, 2021 #7 Share Posted June 27, 2021 Good Morning Rich and my fellow DAILYITES. We have had a lot of rain the past day or two and it looks like more of the same today. It is wet and humid. Thanks for the Fleet report. I am off to early Mass. Have a good day everyone. 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare kazu Posted June 27, 2021 #8 Share Posted June 27, 2021 Thanks for the Daily, Rich and our Sunday smile 🙂 Great collection of days. Sun glasses are a must to protect your eyes in the summer and yum on onions. Love them in salads, fried, however they may come Love playing Bingo on a BHB. It’s the only time I play Bingo. I’d love to be celebrating the day playing on a BHB. I like that Chesterton quote. Yum on the meal suggestion for the day and a drink with caviar? Double yum. 🙂 I couldn’t believe all the viewers on yesterday’s sail a way. Nice to see! Another drizzly day here. As long as it is only drizzly, I’m going to try to work in the wet garden. The weeds are going to win the war if I don’t. Not sure where they all came from in the last week 😡 Saw this on FB the other day and since it’s cruise related, I thought I would share it. @erewhon so sorry to hear about the variant hitting your country. So sad. This Delta variant is scary indeed. On the bright side here in the Maritimes, the Atlantic Bubble is back 👍 Prayers for everyone on the Care list & for those that need them and 🥂 to those on the Celebratory / Shout Out list. Have a great Sunday everyone! Stay safe and don’t forget your 😷 35 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cat shepard Posted June 27, 2021 #9 Share Posted June 27, 2021 Thank you for today’s Daily, Rich! What a wild combo of days! Love onion, especially green and red onions. I appreciate my 🕶. I will toast the inventor of Bingo this evening. Roy, thank you for keeping our lists. Morning Dailyite family! A lovely morning here. Interesting quote. The meal sounds delicious. Not sure about the drink. Will wait for Summer’s recipe. Off to the gym, then food shopping and perhaps some water volleyball this afternoon. Prayers to all who need our support. Especially Joe. Cheers to all who are celebrating. Stay well everyone! ******** Domaine Houchart Sainte Victoire - France This dry rosé has very good ratings and a very decent price, if you can find it. I found one online distributor offering it for $12.49. Winemaker’s note Domaine Houchart is owned by the Quiot family from Châteauneuf-du-Pape and extends a landscape of pine trees, thyme, olive and almond trees, with a view across Mount Saint Victoire, which inspired some of the greatest painters such as Picasso and impressionists such as Cezanne. The large number of grape varieties used, the quality of the ‘terroir’ and a unique microclimate give this dry Sainte Victoire rose a slightly mineral character. Gravel and limestone soils, poor and well-drained (new Côtes de Provence Appellation). Winemaking – Direct pressing, then settling at 12 degrees C. Fermented at 18 degrees, then matured on fine lees for 4 months. 4 grape varieties: Carignan,, Cinsault, Grenache Noir, Syrah. 30 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Boston Posted June 27, 2021 #10 Share Posted June 27, 2021 Good morning everyone, thanks for the daily Rich. Great collection of days, I love onions of all sorts, and enjoy the occasional bingo game. Thankfully it looks like I’ll actually be able to use sunglasses today. I like today’s quote by Chesterton. Have not been to today’s port and look forward to seeing the photos. Taking mom to Woodmere Cemetery today to visit the graves of both sets of her grandparents, my great-grandparents. She could never remember where they were buried so my sister and I researched it for her earlier this year and found the answer. Prayers to everyone on our list today and cheers to everyone celebrating a happy event. 27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grapau27 Posted June 27, 2021 #12 Share Posted June 27, 2021 Thank you for today's daily and care reports. My late mam loved going to the bingo and she won often. It is 12.42pm 58°F and partly cloudy here my sunglasses are a must especially after my eye op. I have normal sunglasses and these Varifocal lensed sunglasses. Plymouth is a Royal navy port but Southampton just along the south coast is the Premier cruise port in England. I love Earl Grey tea but never tried this alcohol version. I hope everyone has a nice day. Graham 24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
summer slope Posted June 27, 2021 #13 Share Posted June 27, 2021 Good morning. Like Kazu, love Onions in anything. Always wear sun glasses and rarely play Bingo. The Chesterton quote is very good. Love the meal suggestion, will have to make sure I have all the ingredients. Loved the sail away yesterday, hope the first of many. Prayers, virtual hugs, and toasts to our lists. Stay safe, continue to social distance, and wear your masks so we can board the BHB. Today's drink requires ALOT of prep. Earl Grey Caviar Martini: Pour 0.1 oz of lemon juice, 0.1 oz of lime juice, and 0.7 oz of apple juice into a shaker Add 0.5 oz of elderflower syrup, 0.3 oz of triple sec, and 1.5 oz of citrus vodka Fill the shaker with ice cubes and shake gently Strain into a chilled cocktail glass Garnish with tea caviar and tea foam Tea Caviar: Antonio Lai’s recipe, good for 33 oz: place a package of Earl Grey tea in 40.5 oz of water and boil for 30 minutes. Then add 3.5 oz of sugar and 26.5 oz of algin. Cool and store in the refrigerator. Tea Foam: Antonio Lai’s recipe, good for 33 oz: place 0.7 oz of Earl Grey tea in 40.5 oz of water and boil for 30 minutes. Then add 3.5 oz of sugar and 0.4 oz of lecithin. Beat until foam forms. 26 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StLouisCruisers Posted June 27, 2021 #14 Share Posted June 27, 2021 Good morning! It's early here in St. Louis but we have a busy day ahead and besides, our bodies are still running on Eastern time zone. It sure doesn't look good outside. That presents a real predicament to the teams playing at 8 am, 9:30 am, 11 am and the Tigers who play at 12:30. Except for 12 noon, rain is predicted all day long!🙁 I like onions in most everything, enjoy bingo, and wish I could wear my sunglasses today. If only... I haven't been to Plymouth England, but were once at nearby ports of Falmouth and Isle of Portland on Prinsendam. Now that she is gone, which ship will get me to these fabulous small port cities? I was trying to watch the Edge sail away last night but we had to leave before she got completely turned around towards the channel or else we would be late to the indoor barbecue feast the soccer team held for all of us. It was at their hotel way down in south county and we are way up north closer to the soccer fields. We were halfway there and it started to POUR down rain on us. The highway traffic slowed to a crawl near our intended exit so we got off the highway to take a different route but that route had some high water in the lanes. It was a real frog strangler as they like to say. Finally arrived and enjoyed a delicious meal with other families of the players. The boys stick together like glue and had a great time stuffing themselves after all their hard work yesterday. Going to visit DMIL mid morning after her breakfast. I hope she is up to a visit today. Which reminds me, prayers to the many on the list who are in need of them. Congrats to any and all on the celebration list. 👩 Thanks to @richwmnwho starts our day for us, @rafinmdwho keeps track of us all, and to @kazufor making me laugh. The Hoarders meme is a riot, and so true! 28 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfish Posted June 27, 2021 #15 Share Posted June 27, 2021 Good morning, everyone! Lots of sunshine this morning in northeast Ohio. It is supposed to be a hot one day. Not as hot as places in the PNW will be, hot enough. I did turn on the AC. I love onions. People used to ask if I liked a little hamburger with my onion. Green onions are a great snack! Sun glasses are a necessity, but I'll skip the bingo. Today's meal sounds really tasty. I'd do them without the bun for fewer carbs. https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/food-network-kitchen/crab-cake-sandwiches-with-oyster-cracker-breading-3721266 29 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smitty34877 Posted June 27, 2021 #19 Share Posted June 27, 2021 Good morning to all. Thanks to Rich,Roy,Jacqui and the Food and Beverage Departments for our lists,quotes, ports and recipes. Everyday is National Onion Day in this house as I cook with them constantly. My prescription lenses darken into sunglasses and I really appreciate that feature except when walking into the house on a sunny day. It takes time to adjust. I worked for a time in a Nursing Home and believe me, the weekly Bingo was the most popular activity. There was no way to get a patient out of there for a PT session. Priorities! The power company has sent notices about the Heat Advisory and there have been two short outages so far this morning. I hope those on the West Coast are holding up with this heat wave.It has to be awful where there is no AC. The recipe looks very good but I will save it for another day. Thanks @dfish, I would have it without the bun as well. Today we are trying to BBQ later with the plan to eat inside if it is too humid. I tried a new white bean salad recipe with carrots,celery and scallions that I hope will be a hit.DD is making us coffee ice cream in her fancy ice cream maker. We were in nearby Falmouth on the Prinsendam and had a lovely cream tea in town. I remember the pretty beach as well. 31 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare kazu Posted June 27, 2021 #20 Share Posted June 27, 2021 There were some good shots of Celebrity leaving port yesterday on CNN. CNN has a reporter on board the cruise ship who will be reporting periodically in case anyone is interested. Ship is at 40% capacity & 99% vaccinated passengers. Saw a lot of masks in the pics. 24 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kochleffel Posted June 27, 2021 #21 Share Posted June 27, 2021 I've never been to Plymouth, Englandland, but I've visited Plymouth, Massachusetts. In fact, I lived for a while in Plymouth County. The Rock is not impressive. 14 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimgev Posted June 27, 2021 #22 Share Posted June 27, 2021 (edited) Good Morning: I love onions - all kinds, yellow, red, green, sweet. The crabcakes sound wonderful but, like others, I prefere them without the bun. I came across a nice quote today that I will share: "You will either step fprward into growth or you will step backward into safety" (Abraham Maslow). Stay safe everyone - especially to those in the Northwest experiencing a dangerous heat wave. Jim Edited June 27, 2021 by jimgev 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cunnorl Posted June 27, 2021 #25 Share Posted June 27, 2021 Good Morning Everyone from a bright and sunny day at the beach. Interesting days, love onions on just about anything! I am a volunteer Bingo caller for a local group. It started up last week again after the shutdown. You would think they were winning a million dollars! They all enjoy it. Me- dont ask. LOL Crab cakes are a favorite of mine but no bun . Have not been to todays port, looking forward to the pictures. Loved watching the sail away last nite. It was all over our local news. Hope all goes well and we all can have a sail away soon! Stay safe and enjoy today 24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
