Rare puppycanducruise Posted August 19, 2021 #2 Share Posted August 19, 2021 Good morning and thank you for the Daily Report. Love potatoes - mashed, fried, baked or scalloped. Yum! Interesting quote, I enjoy listening to Mr Armstrong play. The meal suggestion sounds good. I guess the drink of the day is appropriate for Aviation Day. Well done. Hope the wine is good too. It's been a while since we have been to Halifax. Years ago we drove a motor home to Nova Scotia, PEI and New Brunswick. I think we'll do that again. Prayers for everyone. Stay safe. 24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grapau27 Posted August 19, 2021 #6 Share Posted August 19, 2021 Thanks for today's daily and care reports. I love flying and taking photographs and Pauline likes potatoes. Interesting quote. Food and drink I will have to try. We have never been to today's port. Malaga is a favourite of ours and where our favourite hotel is. Take care and stay safe everyone 😷. 29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cat shepard Posted August 19, 2021 #7 Share Posted August 19, 2021 Thank you for today’s Daily, Rich! A great collection of days! Thank you for keeping our lists, Roy. Hope you are doing well. Morning Dailyite family! Looking forward to the meal and drink recipes. Today is my big reveal. Hopeful, but trying to manage my expectations. I will report in later. Prayers for all who need our support. Cheers to all who are celebrating! Stay well everyone! ******** Domaine Les Salices Chardonnay If you can find this elusive wine, you will find it reasonably priced. I found it online from European distributors for as low as $10.00. Consumers give the 2018 vintage a rating of 3.9 out of 5. So this might be worth a try. Especially if you can find it locally. Winemaker notesMade from 100% Chardonnay grapes and aged for 6 months in oak which imbues the wine with a lovely mouthfeel. The wine has flavours of spicy stone fruit with creamy and nutty notes with some subtle toasty hints. Round and rich on the palate with a lovely fresh finish. 24 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dfish Posted August 19, 2021 #9 Share Posted August 19, 2021 Good morning, everyone! Last night was a good night for sleeping for me. I sometimes have trouble due to back issues. But, salonpas to the rescue! I'm going to the pool later this morning and then the rest of the day is mine. My handyman is out for a few weeks due to a broken rib, so I met my new neighbor last night and hired him to fix a small leak under the kitchen sink and do some other things. He's saving up to start his own plumbing company and welcomes the side jobs. Today's meal comes with several varieties. You can just have asparagus, or you can tomato or mushroom additions. One recipe even had bacon. It is an easy meal and comes together quickly. The plain asparagus: https://www.simplyrecipes.com/recipes/asparagus_frittata/ A spruced up version: https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/giada-de-laurentiis/frittata-with-asparagus-tomato-and-fontina-recipe-1942086 I would probably go with Giada's version myself. 29 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smitty34877 Posted August 19, 2021 #10 Share Posted August 19, 2021 Good morning everyone. We were awakened by a very loud cell phone alert warning of a tornado possibility. It was about 4:15 and certainly got our attention. DH and I keep our phones in another room at night but Tana fell asleep with hers right next to her head. Both dogs began barking at the very loud noise and eventually all the neighborhood dogs joined in....as in the "101 Dalmatians" movie. We all decided to stay put and hope for the best and fortunately nothing occurred. I made breakfast for everyone and it included a giant omelet. Almost a frittata! I just love potatoes in any form and the family calls me the "potato queen". I like the Louis Armstrong quote and appreciate aviation. I enjoy the photos we see here from all over the world. We have enjoyed Halifax several times in all types of weather. We visited the Citadel the last time we were there and really enjoyed it. Other visits took us to Peggy's Cove. It is a spectacularly scenic place. I do have some pictures. 30 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heartgrove Posted August 19, 2021 #12 Share Posted August 19, 2021 Good morning, and thanks for the report. Been to Halifax twice and would enjoy a third time. I hope to do a Canada-New England cruise again someday aboard the Volendam/Zaandam, only this time instead of a Vista Suite an Oceanview so that i can relax on the Promenade Deck. 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimgev Posted August 19, 2021 #13 Share Posted August 19, 2021 Good morning. Thanks for the daily and the lists. It's amazing what aviation has accomplished in just a bit more than one hundred years.Love potatoes. I have made frittatas with asparagus - really delicious. The quote today is quite profound from a musical genious. The music he played was jazz and he was describing that as a reflection of life with all its joys, sadness, triumphs and failures. His music expressed all of those things - he was truely "playing life". Celebrate life and stay safe. 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Crazy For Cats Posted August 19, 2021 #17 Share Posted August 19, 2021 Good Morning Everyone, thanks for the daily report. I certainly enjoy potatoes in all forms. I just wish I could make candied sweet potatoes as good as my mom. @dfish I’ll have the bacon please. Today promises to be a rainy day.

mamaofami Posted August 19, 2021 #20 Share Posted August 19, 2021 Good morning everyone. Seems we didn’t wake when there was a tornado alert for our area and luckily nothing happened. Second tornado in less than two weeks. I will celebrate photo day. Many years ago I took a photography course and not knowing what I was doing, I managed to snap a beautiful picture of the changing leaves over a lake in Westchester, NY. I had it blown up and mounted on a cardboard backing and two years ago it was hanging in our local juried art show. Today we are getting haircuts either in our garage or on the patio if things dry out a bit. Stay safe everyone. Carol 26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kb4683 Posted August 19, 2021 #21 Share Posted August 19, 2021 (edited) Good Thursday Morning! Thank you Rich, Roy, the food and beverage ladies and (of course) all who contribute here. Positive thoughts going to those on the care list and congrats to those celebrating. We have only been to Halifax once - during a repo cruise from Quebec City to Fort Lauderdale on the Emerald Princess in October, 2013. We rented a car and drove out to Peggy's Cove From there we drove only about 5 minutes further to Ryer's Lobsters in Indian Harbor We picked out "Larry" for lunch Then ordered a half dozen steamed oysters for an appetizer Bring on the main course!! WOW, that was good After that repast, we drove a couple of minutes further and stumbled upon this place. Now, being from the Midwest, we both love rhubarb and that is just something you can't grow in Florida. Naturally, we "had" to stop in and have some rhubarb cobbler 😉 It was a good day!!

Rare kazu Posted August 19, 2021 #23 Share Posted August 19, 2021 Thanks for the Daily, Rich and our Thursday smile 🙂 Great combination of days. Aviation is the reason we can get to so many places 👍. Great quote by Louis. Today’s meal sounds good - thanks @dfishfor the variation recipe. The drink today matches the day! Cool. I wish I liked oaky Chardonnay’s more as today’s wine sounds interesting. I’ve been to Halifax more times than I can count - between work conferences, visits, etc. Lovely city and great people. Remember the sad hibiscus plants I rescued? They are blooming away 🙂 DH’s weird plant has bloomed and finally the chilies have. They are way behind this year and I can’t figure out why other than different varieties? 🤷♂️ I got a piece of good news yesterday afternoon. My TA called and after 6 weeks of fighting, she has gotten our cruise transferred successfully - perks, OBC and all to the sailing next year 👍 She really had to fight and went right up the ladder. She’s put countless hours in (for which I feel badly) but I am every so grateful she was willing to do so. ♥️ Prayers for everyone on the Care list and for those that need them & 🥂 to those on the Celebratory/Shout out list. Have a great Thursday everyone!!!! Stay safe and please don’t forget your 😷 36 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StLouisCruisers Posted August 19, 2021 #24 Share Posted August 19, 2021 Another sunny morning! I'd better enjoy it because more rain could show up later today. That's summer for you. Interesting set of days today. I appreciate Aviation and how far we've come since those early days with the Wright Brothers. I also love potatoes of all kinds. And of course photos are very important to me. Since the advent of the digital photo the number of photos I have taken has exploded! Thanks to Rich for his work to put our Daily together each day, even while on vacation. And to Roy who manages to get his lists together for us even while having dental surgery. I hope you're doing much better now Roy. @cat shepardgood luck with the big reveal! @dfishhow convenient to meet your new neighbor and he is a plumber! Sounds like a great addition to your neighborhood. 😉 I think I'd prefer the Giada frittata too. As for our lists I'm happy to see so many celebrations listed and give them all a shout out, but we still have those in need of prayer. I hope to see that list shrink again. @smitty34877thank you for your photos. Your Peggy's Cove lighthouse photo looks exactly like mine! We went there on our first Halifax stop on a 2011 TA on Emerald Princess. Second time was a 2015 TA on Caribbean Princess, and third was a 2018 New England/Atlantic Coast cruise on the Rotterdam. The third visit on Rotterdam it was freezing cold that day and we actually had snow flurries that day. DH and I both had a slight cold so we walked across the street to a pharmacy to pick up some cold meds. Thanks also to @kb4683for her photos! From our 2011 Peggy's Cove stop. And this young lady bagpiper trying to make it through college! 30 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare TiogaCruiser Posted August 19, 2021 #25 Share Posted August 19, 2021 Good Morning All! Congratulations, @kazu. I’m so happy you got your cruise all transferred over. Now hopefully things will calm down with covid and you will be able to enjoy it when it comes. You, and so many others, have had so much turmoil with cruising plans. Tuesday the weatherman promised us something called “rain” that was supposed to happen yesterday. IIRC, that is when drops of liquid fall from the sky. I waited all day, and when I was running errands, some tiny little “spots” appeared on my windshield. I ran the windshield wiper once and it was gone. Completely. Did I scare it away? Have a great day everyone! 21 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
