Another Dinner

Apparently the idea of a special dinner for the “Pinnacles” was so well received last cruise, they decided to do it again this cr-19Ouise. The date picked was today, again in the Solarium Bistro at 1830. The menu was essentially the same. Being a more difficult person, I elected for a vegetarian alternative to the Surf & Turf. Last time there was just too much food.

It turned out that my alternative didn’t slow down anyone on the volume of food. My salad was fine. The mushroom soup was excellent. My pasta was the perfect texture, the sauce was fine but on the salty side. The amount? It could have fed a starving teenager. Sabrina, sitting next to me, ordered the halibut but otherwise also joined me on the soup, salad, and berries for dessert.

I escaped about 2045 as there was a broadcast out of the Asian Pacific Travel Medicine community starting at 2100 (my time as apposed to 1400 – 19 Oct in Bangkok. (JEV, Zika, MPox).  Otherwise my day was quiet, I attempted to catch up on my sleep …

Skipping the photos today! Tomorrow we arrive in French Polynesia and tenders to shore).

 

 

About Holly

fiber person - knitter, spinner, weaver who spent 33 years being a military officer to fund the above. And home. And family. Sewing and quilting projects are also in the stash. After living again in Heidelberg after retiring (finally) from the U.S. Army May 2011, we moved to the US ~ Dec 2015. Something about being over 65 and access to health care. It also might have had to do with finding a buyer for our house. Allegedly this will provide me a home base in the same country as our four adult children, all of whom I adore, so that I can drive them totally insane. Considerations of time to knit down the stash…(right, and if you believe that…) and spin and .... There is now actually enough time to do a bit of consulting, editing. Even more amazing - we have only one household again. As long as everyone understands that I still, 40 years into our marriage, don't do kitchens or bathrooms. For that matter, not being a golden retriever, I don't do slippers or newspapers either. I don’t miss either the military or full-time clinical practice. Limiting my public health/travel med/consulting and lecturing to “when I feel like it” has let me happily spend my pension cruising, stash enhancing (oops), arguing with the DH about where we are going to travel next and book buying. Life is good!
