Today was the first of our 7 days at sea until we arrive in Vancouver, Canada. It was a cold morning and was even snowing during part of it.
While I played bridge, Doug worked on getting the Fed Ex supplies and info we need to mail our luggage back home. We have SO MUCH stuff to pack!
I then went to my last cooking class with guest Chef Phillip Kraal from Christchurch, New Zealand. It was a great meal – company meal. We made a rocket(arugula) salad with blue cheese that was wrapped with thin strips of prosciutto. Our main course was amazing. We took a piece of Dover sole, shaped it into a circle and filled it with chopped shrimp. After cooking that, we made a tulle ring (Parmesan cheese baked and shaped into a ring) and filled it with mashed potatoes, then thinly sliced and cooked zucchini, topped with the sole and a sauce with asparagus laid on top.
This tasted as good as it looks! I can’t wait to try this back in Sarasota.
Dessert was a cinnamon and apple syrup pudding. The whole meal was divine!
Lost another hour today. Worked on my Blog and then got ready for formal night. The theme was a Speakeasy and was great fun with all the wait staff in costume.
Men were given white gangster hats and the women were given feather boas!
Our formal night gift was one of our favorites – luggage straps with world cruise imprint on them – plus luggage tags. It was a gift we can actually use!!
Happy Birthday Cindy! You would like being on this cruise for your birthday because we cross the International Date Line and will have two Monday, April 19ths! So Happy Birthday twice!
