Love Watermelon and Pecans. The meal sounds wonderful. Have not been to Brazil, looking forward to the photo's from those of you who have. Prayers and toasts to our lists. Stay safe everyone, social distance, and please continue to wear your mask. Paradise: The Paradise is an IBA official cocktail, and is classified as a "pre-dinner" drink, an apéritif. The earliest known in-print recipe for the Paradise Cocktail was written by Harry Craddock in 1930. This cocktail is prepared using gin, apricot brandy, and orange juice in a 2:1:1 ratio, with a splash of lemon juice. Wikipedia Main alcohol: Gin, Brandy Ingredients: 1 1/6 oz (7 parts) Gin, 1/2 oz (3 parts) Orange juice, 2/3 oz (4 parts) Apricot brandy Preparation: Shake together over ice. Strain into cocktail glass and serve chilled. Served: Straight up; without ice Drinkware: Cocktail glass IBA specified ingredients: 3.5 cl (7 parts) gin; 2 cl (4 parts) apricot brandy; 1.5 cl (3 parts) orange juice This sounds good. I might try it the time I am a passenger on a ship. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do occasionally but find it hard to navigate. Once I got used to the Ipad, I far prefer it to my laptop. One of the joys of roll calls - on our 2013 Prinsendam TA, we had electronic sessions where people shared knowledge on IPads. I arrived not having a clue having just bought it for travel and got off quite comfortable. The joys of great CC people and roll calls 👍 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I checked my profile and there’s nothing there but my number of posts. Curious now. Jacqui: They are listing the number of posts differently with the new upgrade to the cite. For instance they now list you as 60.5 which tells me have over 60 thousand posts. I believe I have 17, 705 but that is not the it will read on the front of this post. This new since the morning upgrade. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stay dry if you are in coastal NC as they are forecasting up to 10 inches of rain over the next four days. Send us some!! Sure could use it here. Forecast for Friday is some rain but may go north instead of to the fires in the south. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bennybear Posted August 3, 2021 #95 Share Posted August 3, 2021 Good day and thanks all! Sorry I missed the ships and rockets, lol! another hot Smokey day, I promise I won’t complain if it’s cool and clear! I’ll show one of my hardy hydrangeas, we are zone 3 so things have to be hardy to minus 40! 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Vict0riann Posted August 3, 2021 #96 Share Posted August 3, 2021 Still morning here, but I'm very late. So maybe I should just say Good Day, all! We had errands ro run this morning and Pat wanted to get out early, but then we were too early and nothing was open. So next time I will try to restrain his enthusiasm. We visited Boca da Valeria in 2019 on the Prinsendam's last Grand Voyage - along with Roy. We had boarded with a lot of school supplies and the ship asked that we give them in at the desk so they could be taken to the school by representatives of the ship (along with one of the large stuffed penguins). I was disappointed that they did not include one of the passengers, but I also had with me a lot of scrunchies, etc., for the girls and mainly stickers and toys for the boys. I was besieged but it was fun! We were also told we should take a lot of single dollar bills and there were children and animals just waiting to have their pictures taken with you - for that $1! It had been raining heavily that season in the Amazon, and the water around was very high. After playing with the children and looking at the village, we took a little boat ride in the river. It was very hot and muggy and I just noticed that I am wearing the same cotton blouse today, so I just have known somehow that this was the day for Boca! This was not our boat! We did see a picture of the group that took the school supplies ashore. 21 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if there's an IPAD equivalent or not. Roy 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
