Rare rafinmd Posted October 11, 2021 #3 Share Posted October 11, 2021 Thank you for the Holiday Monday, Rich. I'll salute Indigenous people's day, not sure about My Party Day and Kraken Day. Hoping for a safe Boston Marathon and wishing our Canadian Dailyites a great Thanksgiving. I was supposed to visit Dakar on my 2014 Amsterdam World Cruise segment but it was cancelled due to Ebola. I like the Moore quote and the menu selection. My alternative is Banana, Papaya, and Blueberry Fruit Cocktail, Rack of Veal, and Carrot Cake as served on MS Amsterdam October 11, 2017. https://solocabinchallenge.files.wordpress.com/2017/10/dishes11.jpg Today’s care list: Welfare of furloughed crews Western wildfires cat shepard’s friend recovering from aggressive chemo StLouisSal’s friend recovering from liver transplant Lady Hudson’s BIL in rehab dfish nephews kids covid positive cruisin single’s grandson mental issues Quartzite Cruisers antivax neighborsFrom the rotation: NextOne DDIL with long haul Covid Krazy Kruizer DH Joe Celebrations and Shoutouts Occasional contributors including 12cruise2 3 BHB with passengers Front Line Health Care Workers Aliaschief in Pinnacle Suite Cruising-along, Vict0riann, VMaxx1700, sailingdutchy / NextOne,12cruise2/ AncientWanderer, Sharon, and lazey1 at sea recovery of smitty34877's family Welcome home Crazy for Cats ger_77in Calgary New care giver for Sam Columbus Day, Indigenous People’s Day, and Thanksgiving Weekend and Staff Captain Sabine, HAL’s likely first female Captain(I know this is a repeat but she’s worth it) Roy 24 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare puppycanducruise Posted October 11, 2021 #4 Share Posted October 11, 2021 Good morning. Thanks for the Daily Report. Happy Thanksgiving. An interesting collection of days. Good luck to everyone participating in the Boston Marathon. My Party Day sounds like fun. Kraken Day sounds scary. Thoughtful quote. The meal sounds good, I'll save the recipe for another day. I've never heard of the drink of the day - hope it's tasty. I'm sure I'll like the wine.🙂 It's still warm here, today's high should be 24C (75F), and for that, I'm thankful. Prayers for everyone who needs them. Cheers for all the celebrations. I hope everyone has a wonderful day. Stay safe. 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfish Posted October 11, 2021 #5 Share Posted October 11, 2021 Good morning, everyone! Our forecasted high today is 81. It is hard to believe this is mid October! Happy Thanksgiving to all of our Canadian friends. And here's a suggestion for those of you who have to bring a side: Today's meal is an advanced peek at what all the Thanksgiving celebrants can have for dinner the rest of the week. You don't have to use ground turkey in this, you can use shredded turkey. The slow cooker gives all the flavors time to blend. This first recipe claims to be the healthy one. You can decide. https://www.twopeasandtheirpod.com/slow-cooker-turkey-chili/ The Pioneer Woman gives us her take on things. She says add some corn for a pop. https://www.thepioneerwoman.com/food-cooking/recipes/a36984320/slow-cooker-turkey-chili-recipe/ And this one offers some suggestions for variations. By the end of the week you'll want to change things up with all that left over turkey. https://www.dinneratthezoo.com/slow-cooker-turkey-chili/ 24 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grapau27 Posted October 11, 2021 #7 Share Posted October 11, 2021 Thank you for today's daily Rich and Roy for the care, celebrations and shout out lists. Unusual days today. Congratulations for Boston the world's oldest Marathon on its 125th year. My party days are well behind me. Not interested in Kraken dealing. I do not like today's quote. Will miss on today's drink and food. Take care. Graham. 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAM37 Posted October 11, 2021 #9 Share Posted October 11, 2021 Good morning, Friends. Thank you for the Daily, the Lists and the Recipes. I'm confused about Boston Marathon Day as I am sure it is usually run the third Monday in April. A salute to all the other days, especially Native Americans and Indigenous People. Happy Thanksgiving to our northern neighbors. I like the quote and meal. It is forecasted that we are done with rain until Saturday. It may take that long for the mountains to dry. But we are thankful we get plenty of rain. Off to get a second cup of coffee and see if Ann or Colin have posted on the Live thread. They are doing an excellent job sharing their journeys. Have a great day. 🙏 and 🎉 for those on our lists. 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mamaofami Posted October 11, 2021 #14 Share Posted October 11, 2021 Good morning everyone. Happy Thanksgiving day to our Canadian friends. I’m up early today to get ready for our new aide. Hopefully this one will work for us since we’ve now had five and the one we really liked hasn’t been heard from since she left for Ghana for her father’s funeral. Much to do. Stay safe everyone, Carol 25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aliaschief Posted October 11, 2021 #15 Share Posted October 11, 2021 Good morning from Puerto Vallarta! Just arrived. If Noordam is here it must be on our port side. Today we are taking a Hal Mexican cooking tour which I’m sure includes more margaritas! Last night we had a in suite dinner party complete with appetizers and dinner. Nice reunion with a couple we had cruised with before. Nice but to much extra work for crew so we will probably not do that again. So far we are having a perfect cruise. I just can’t find anything worth complaining about. We are just having a grand time. Have a great day! 24 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Boston Posted October 11, 2021 #16 Share Posted October 11, 2021 Good morning everyone and thanks for today’s report Rich. I had no idea until yesterday that today is the marathon, I guess that I forgot that it had been rescheduled. No parties, no tears here today. In celebration of Kraken Day we’ll have to order calamari for lunch. Happy Thanksgiving to all of our Canadian friends, enjoy your dinners. The quote is so true especially standing in front of the buffet on a BHB. The meal suggestion sounds delicious but I think tonight is chicken stew. Never been to today’s port and look forward to the photos. Cheers to everyone celebrating a happy event today. Prayers for everyone on our prayer list. 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare kazu Posted October 11, 2021 #18 Share Posted October 11, 2021 Thanks for the Daily, Rich and our Monday smile 🙂 to all of our American friends: and to all my Canadian friends: I like the Moore quote. Choice is so important in everything we do. Nice to see a menu for left over turkey in the recommendation today. We certainly have lots of leftovers here 😉 Like some people we had our Thanksgiving dinner last night as the weather is promising today and I didn’t want to be stuck in the kitchen. I decided this strategy wouldn’t work for Thanksgiving dinner 😉 @aliaschief so glad to hear your cruise is going so well and you are enjoying it 🙂 @mamaofamigood luck with the new aide. I sure hope they work out 🙏🏻 Well today is going to be a busy one trying to get too much done today. I have a list. We’ll see how much I can get crossed off. Prayers for everyone on the Care list & for those that need them and 🥂 to those on the Celebratory / Shout Out list. Have a great Monday everyone no matter what day / celebration it may be for you. Stay safe & please don’t forget your 😷 27 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare richwmn Posted October 11, 2021 Author #21 Share Posted October 11, 2021 Kraken Day is also known as Myths and Legends Day. Krakens come from Scandanavian folklore. Nordic sagas say kraken live off the coasts of Norway and Greenland and terrorize the sailors of the area. Krakens have been a legend for centuries, with Nordic sailors long telling tales about them. The beasts were described in detail around 1250 CE, in the Konungs skuggsjá,, an Old Norwegian natural history written by an anonymous author who had returned from Greenland. Carl von Linné of Sweden included krakens in the first edition of his systematic natural catalog, Systema Naturae, published in 1735. 17 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cat shepard Posted October 11, 2021 #23 Share Posted October 11, 2021 Thank you for today’s Daily, Rich! A special collection of days! “B Strong”! Had to look up Kraken Day, another Norse gift to the world. Somehow calling them octopus & squid seems too tame. Happy Thanksgiving to Our Canadian family members! Roy, thank you for taking care of our lists! Morning Dailyite family! A brief shower greeted Bindi and I this morning, but it had stopped by the time we reached the driveway. The weather really has been lovely, and I am hoping it is not lulling us into a false sense of security. We still have quite a bit of this year’s hurricane season left. Off to a gym class then getting together with family. Not sure what we will end up doing. Too beautiful a day to waste. Prayers for all who need our support. Cheers to all who are celebrating! Stay well everyone! ********* Frescobaldi Nipozzano Chianti Rufina Riserva A full bodied Chianti with excellent ratings and a very reasonable price. Every vintage has excellent ratings, so you can’t go wrong. I used the 2017 reviews and prices here. Online prices for the 2017 vintage start at $14.93. Winemaker Notes This firm, rich red shows the freshness of the appellation in a hot, ripe year like 2017. It’s full-bodied with chewy tannins and a long, flavorful finish. Fine tannins. Dried mushroom, walnut and bark undertones to the ripe berries. Solid wine. JS92 James Suckling This firm, rich red shows the freshness of the appellation in a hot, ripe year like 2017. It’s full-bodied with chewy tannins and a long, flavorful finish. Fine tannins. Dried mushroom, walnut and bark undertones to the ripe berries. Solid wine. WE90 Wine Enthusiast Combining structure and finesse, this has subtle but intriguing aromas of camphor, rose and sunbaked earth. On the taut, juicy palate, fine-grained tannins accompany dried cherry, orange zest and star anise before a coffee-bean finish.
