This is a collection of posts from my cruise on December 14-22nd originally posted to Facebook. 14 December 2018 – 19:04 So there is an episode of mayday where the prop flies off the wing and takes out a seat. I’m in that seat. ? 14 December 2018 – 22:11 Thought it was going to be checked the whole way but $12.50 is not bad for luggage storage for the night. 15 December 2018 – 03:29 There’s a guy in the way of the stairwell smoking and cooking his crack pipe. 15 December 2018 – 04:04 Two very drunk men can barely stand on the standing room only night bus. Toronto should follow Vienna and London’s night tube on weekends. 15 December 2018 – 07:08 Overheard Air Canada Rep: Just follow the signs with the American flag. Passenger: Is that the one with Stripes and Stars? ?‍♂️ 15 December 2018 – 08:49 “Don’t line up until your Zone number is called” works as good as looking for volunteers to check their bags. 19 December 2018 – 14:31 Life’s a struggle right now. Apparently, there is a snowstorm home right now. 19 December 2018 – 14:35 There is a very bad storm…

Starting the Getaway

The second day of the trip started on a beautiful sunny day. Everyone was talking about how cold it was from a cold front and it was still shorts weather for me. Woke up at 7 and went downstairs for coffee in the lobby and a Guava Cheese Danish that was to die for. Returned to my room and watched the best of Sunday morning TV. It was one of the cooking shows where I learned that the Agave syrup, I like in my tea at David’s Tea is the same plant that is used to make Tequila. Booked the early embarking at 10 AM online in the check-in to the cruise-ship. However, when I got to the hotel 12 noon was the only shuttle time left. Since the shuttle was the cheapest option, I reserved it. The hotel also had a noon checkout time, so I took a long shower and relaxed until 11:30 when I went downstairs and got on the shuttle. Miami looked not much different from San Juan, and I was not wowed to want to spend more time there. When we arrived at the port, I dropped of my bag to the longshoremen who stated…

Haddock and Potato Dinner

Haddock and Potato Dinner

I thought I would take this opportunity since I have not posted anything lately to post a food success story. Unlike the horror stories of the past. The potatoes are my typical mashed potatoes. The was partly derived from my sisters variant. 2 Yukon Gold Potatoes 1/4 cup 2% Partly Skimmed Milk 1 Tbsp. Margarine Several dashes of Curry Powder Freshly Ground Peppercorn Medley The fish is Highliner frozen Haddock but any fish could work. The fish is then coated and rubbed in Honey Mustard, fresh lime juice, canola oil, salt, and fresh ground peppercorn medley. Then finished off siding the plate with canned cream corn and Sweet Pickles (with cauliflower.)

The Tale of Two Frozen Bananas

The Tale of Two Frozen Bananas

This past week I was reading a new post on my friend Andrea’s blog. Where she posted about making a dairy-free ice cream substitute by pureeing some Bananas. I thought to myself that sounds good especially with the peanut butter they suggest. I also have a can of coconut milk that has sat in the pantry for a while now. In hindsight, it now occurs to me that I never read the directions properly, or at all, as I seem to missed an important step. I bought the bananas last night and took two and put them in the freezer. Now what I am stuck with is two perfectly frozen bananas. I missed the part about peeling and slicing before freezing them solid.
