  1. I think you'd be ok, but we always tried to get there earlier so we didn't hold the staff over too long. There were a couple mornings that we were 10-15 minutes late leaving and the staff never said a word to hurry us along.
  2. They are the same as the MDR for both breakfast and dinner.
  3. Good morning, everyone. Another day of packing for a move and a cruise. I'm really excited about the cruise now. It makes it hard to sleep because I keep thinking about being on board a BHB. In time, in time. I love today's meal. Çöp Şiş (pronounced 'chop shish') is a type of lamb shish kebab eaten throughout Anatolia in Turkey. The etymology of the name is uncertain, though 'Çöp' means garbage or rubbish in modern Turkish, and may have come from the word meaning 'chaff', the stalk of wheat removed during winnowing. It has also been suggested that they are so called because the meat used is the smaller scraps of meat that are not used for other types of kebab. Çöp şiş is generally cooked on wooden skewers rather than iron ones. During preparation, the lamb meat and pieces of fat are mixed with garlic and tomato and left to marinate with black pepper, oregano and olive oil, before cooking over an ocak, or grill. It is usually served with grilled peppers and onion, with bread as an option to wrap the lamb and vegetables inside. I remember my dad making Shish Kebab when I was a kid. We had it with grilled tomato, onion, pepper, and mushrooms. The vegetables were more popular in our family than the meat and we had twice as many veggies as meat chunks. The first recipe is a simple one that comes with pictures to guide us. https://ye-mek.net/recipe/turkish-chop-shish-kebab-recipe This recipe is a bit more complex, but I am sure it is worth it. https://barbecuebible.com/recipe/real-turkish-shish-kebab/ There are many types of turkish kebabs.

  4. Join us in the lobby at 6:30. We're going in search of onion soup and crepes.
  5. Safe travels, Sharon. Can't wait to see you in the lobby of the Chateau Frontenac.
  6. I love spaghetti squash! I do this quite often when I want spaghetti.
  7. Good morning, everyone! It is a chilly start to the day here in northeast Ohio, but it is supposed to warm to the mid 60's. Chilly is ok for doing my laps as I prefer cooler weather for walking. Today is a day for all of us. We might not think so, but we all participate here on the Daily and that makes us techies. I bet we all do more than we think in that area. No boyfriend here, but I will salute children's health. As Roy said, childhood health is critically important to adult health. I would love the spaghetti and meatball skillet supper, but I'll pass due to the carb content. I'd have to have such a small serving to stay within my limits on carbs that it isn't worth the effort to make it. But, I'm sure many of you would really enjoy this meal. It is a great idea for a cool weather day. Add in a crisp tossed salad and some garlic bread and you have a home run. Our first recipe comes from Taste of Home: https://www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/spaghetti-meatball-skillet-supper/ Or you can try this version: https://www.thespruceeats.com/skillet-spaghetti-481948 Ree Drummond's version is a little more involved, but I'm sure the flavor is worth it! https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/ree-drummond/skillet-spaghetti-and-meatballs-8348901 Want to be a little bit different?

  8. Good morning, everyone. Three great days to celebrate today. We had an old white 1963 Plymouth Belvedere station wagon that we referred to as The Old White Ghost. When I learned to drive, that is the car I was allowed to drive. My dad bought a used Pontiac Bonneville that we called Bonny. I liked that one because it was a sedan. Nothing much is on the agenda today besides walking and packing, both for the move and the cruise. At the rate I am going, I will have most of the house packed up before I leave on the cruise. That will help for when I get back. We have had today's meal before. The pictures all looked familiar and I checked my picture file and they were all there. First, a little background. Temaki sushi, also known as hand rolled sushi, is a popular casual Japanese food. The conelike form of temaki incorporates rice, specially prepared seaweed called nori, and a variety of fillings known as neta. In Japanese culinary tradition, the word sushi actually refers to the specially prepared rice which forms the base of all sushi dishes, ranging from nigiri sushi to plain bowls of rice with scattered toppings. In Japanese, the term maki refers to any type of sushi roll incorporating nori, while te means hand. While most maki sushi is rolled by hand to some extent, temaki is considered to be much more of a hands-on food, as it is prepared and eaten with the hands rather than using tools such as chopsticks and sushi mats. Temaki starts with a sheet of nori, which is usually cut in half to make it more manageable. The cook scoops a small amount of sushi rice onto the nori and follows with neta of choice before rolling it tightly up into a cone which can be held easily in the hand and dipped into sauces. Traditionally, temaki is eaten by hand, because it would be ungainly with chopsticks, and quickly, because the nori will start to soften and turn rubbery from the ingredients if allowed to sit too long. Temaki can be filled with any sort of neta imaginable: fresh fish, tempura vegetables, fresh vegetables, grilled tofu or fish, or even fried eggs. Because of the casual hand held nature of the food, many families simply arrange a tray of neta, sushi rice, and nori, allowing family members and guests to make temaki rolls to taste. In addition to the filling, a variety of dipping sauces and condiments such as soy sauce, ponzu sauce, pickled ginger, and wasabi are set out. https://www.foodrepublic.com/2015/10/13/what-is-temaki-and-is-it-the-next-big-trend/ I would probably like this with the cooked fish or even the scrambled eggs. I'd use very little rice because of the effects on blood sugar. https://www.justonecookbook.com/temaki-sushi-hand-roll/ Temaki is really one of those make it your own dishes. One last idea: https://www.tasteatlas.com/temaki/recipe Wishing you all a wonderful day. Special thoughts for those who are recovering from Ian and Fiona.
