SkystheLimit Posted September 5, 2022 #1805 Share Posted September 5, 2022 14 hours ago, Jim_Iain said: That would really be interesting. BTW I love shortbread. It's amazing, the recipe is so simple but the love of the person making it makes all the difference. My mother-in-law and aunt had this special touch and even though I have the recipe just never come out as good. You know how it is a baker usually has a little tweak without measurements that makes all the difference. It's also about the quality of the butter! High fat, low water content. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They didn't even put a caveat of 'based on availability'. They asked when we would like and I told them and they said no problem and it showed up in our daily planner 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since you shared both your total cruises and CC points, I'm wondering if they award the Top Cruiser based on cruises or Captain's club points? I believe they base it on points. In the old days it was cruises but that was when you got 1 point for a regular room and 2 for a Suite of any type. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It included only the first cruise. This cruise, there are only 7 Zenith's. It's fun but looking forward to another 1,000 points and getting a Free Cruise when we hit 6,000. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with that. Cornish butter has one of the highest butter fat content. I had some shortbread recently in Southampton area and they were really flaky - They lady that made them said she substitutes a little rice flower and a slightly larger pinch of salt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andril just uses foam and no milk added at all. In my opinion many places create a latte by adding too much milk. I think the best way to describe is an espresso with some foam on top.

The Fortress of Louisbourg is one of the better cruise ship excursions we've taken. It was almost like a Canadian Colonial Williamsburg, and we ended up buying a bottle of small batch, very boozy rum aged in oak barrels at the fortress. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cachouonacruise Posted September 5, 2022 #1825 Share Posted September 5, 2022 Jim and Lain, bravo! you have finally reached the closest point to our home! lol! We're just 2.5 hours further up the St-Lawrence River known in French as Fleuve St-Laurent, living in a small town on the south shore of Montreal and the river. I hope you will really enjoy your day in Quebec City and I look forward to see it through the keen eyes of your camera! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
