Quartzsite Cruiser

Mary Kay, I'm glad your sister is doing well and that her doctor thought you both did everything right the first week. It's good she is managing by herself. I'm sorry you had to cancel your TA on the Rotterdam. We all have to make the hard decisions about what is best for us. Lenda

Terry, you have some very wonderful and caring neighbors. I'm very glad they are looking out for all of you. Rest and get well soon. Sandi, that is really good news that your PA did a thorough exam and has a plan to help heal your leg. Enjoy your visit with your family and safe travels. Gald you both tested negative. Enjoy your cruise. Ann, good for you gerring part of your life back. Thanks for sharing the email with us. Lenda

Welcome home. Hope the missing suitcase turns up soon. Enjoy your last sea day. Safe travels home. Hope the flights and luggage are all in sync and there are no delays. Lenda

Terry, I hope you all feel better soon. Is there someone who can come in and help you and/or bring you meals? Below is my recipe for Chicken Parmigiana cooked in the air fryer. For the sauce, I either use one similar to the one @0106 Tina found, or leftover spaghetti sauce if there is not enough for another meal of spaghetti. I also use a oil mister or sprayer to spray the oil on the chicken, and it only needs a thin coat of oil.. If possible, I use thin sliced chicken breasts, which our grocery usually carries. Also, you don't need to put a lot of flour on the chicken. If I don't have fresh basil, I will sprinkle dried basil on the sauce before adding the cheese. CHICKEN PARMESAN 2-4 c bread crumbs ¼ c chopped basil grated Parmesan cheese 2 T flour olive oil ½ c tomato puree mozzarella chicken breasts salt and pepper 2 eggs Place chicken breasts between two sheets of heavy plastic (resealable freezer bags work) on a solid, level surface. Firmly pound chicken to a thickness of ½ inch. Or with the knife blade parallel to the cutting board, slice the breasts in half horizontally. Season chicken thoroughly with salt and pepper. Beat eggs in a shallow bowl and set aside. Mix bread crumbs and ½ cup Parmesan cheese in a separate bowl and set aside. Place flour in a sifter or strainer, sprinkle over chicken breasts, evenly coating both sides. Dip flour coated chicken breasts in beaten eggs, then place in breadcrumb mixture, pressing the crumbs into both sides. Place chicken on a crisper tray sprayed with nonstick cooking spray. Spray the tops of the chicken with oil. Set the temperature to 350oF and the time to 8 minutes. When finished, turn chicken over, and spray with oil, then top with sauce, basil and cheese. Return to air fryer and, set the temperature to 350oF and the time to 7 minutes. Cook until the cheese is browned and bubbly and the chicken breasts are no longer pink in the center, approximately 15 minutes, depending on the thickness of the chicken. The internal temperature should be at least 165oF. Lenda

Thank you, Graham, for your good wishes for DH. This appointment is an evaluation with the PA as i said. We figure, she will determine which doctor would be best for DH. It will be the beginning of a long process, with tests and trial treatements before they can put in a shunt, which is the best solution for NPH. A lot depends on how soon we can see the doctor. I hope it's this month, but it will probably be sometime in September. 🤞 Specialists are booked so far in advance now. I'm glad that it is back on yesterday's Daily. I just checked and it's the second post! Ann, thanks for the heads up. I wondered if she was responsible, but didn't want to mention it on here. I did mention it to DH. Just very happy that it has been reviewed and resolved. Lenda

Good afternoon from central Texas -- where at 1:15pm it is a cool 94F, with a slight breeze. This morning, I was in a hurry to get the first load of laundry in the washer and get to the store, that I forgot to say Rabbit, Rabbit, White Rabbit before I said good morning to DH. Finger's crossed 🤞 that I didn't jinx August. So far, it doesn't look like I jinxed anything since DH receiver a call from the Dallas hospital and now has an appointment with the Physician's Assistant for an evaluation at 11 am Friday. It's a good thing DH gave them my cell phone number because they still could not reach him on his phone. When we did the online check-in, which took an hour it was that complete, I discovered they had the wrong number for DH. @rafinmd Roy, I think you can take DH off the care list since we're now definitely in their system. Friday's appointment will begin the process to take care of the NPH. It looks like it's been a busy morning on the Fleet/Daily with a lot of posts taken down. I'll try to be careful what I say. For the record, I had no problem with Father David's sermons and know many enjoyed them and found comfort. If you didn't want to watch, you could just scroll by. I also agree with others that if it was a Dailyite, which I very seriously doubt, who complained, I wish he or she had "talked" to us first. The most likely scenario, as others have mentioned, is that a lurker either took offense or wanted to be mean. Now, back to our regular Daily programming. I have two girlfriends that I've know most of my life, one since we were 18 months old. While we don't talk or see each other often, we always pick up where we left off. The other I've known since at least the first grade, if not before, and she's my nextdoor neighbor. We don't always agree, but we're there for each other. I've never learned to play Mahjong, but @Seasick Sailor Joy, will be celebrating today. I've climbed a few small mountains, most really tall hills, but found that is not really my thing. I prefer walks and hikes on level or almost level ground. Like all Mahatma Gandhi's quotes, this quote is very true. We'll take the meal and the wine, but pass on the drink. I have been making chicken parmigiana in the air fryer for a couple of years now. My recipe, which I'll share in a minute, is similar to the one @0106 Tina found. Mine combines two of the steps, which lessens the cooking time. We have not been to Gaspe, so thank you @Cruising-along for your pictures. It's been on the bucket list for quite a while. @marshhawk Ann, I'm glad you finally decided to quit the dog walking job. A month is a generous time for giving notice, and most people give two weeks. @kazu Jacqui, I'm glad Liz came by and worked with Shadow, plus giving you some good tips. After what you gave as the reasons they are trying to rescue the dogs, I can definitely understand Shadow's trust issues. Hopefully they will lessen with time and patience. If anyone can help her, you with Liz's help can do it. Loved the flower pictures. BTW, 🎈 HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SHADOW! 🍖 @Paw13 Pauline, we can finally officially welcome you to the Daily. Through, @grapau27 Graham, you have been a part of this group for a while. @grapau27 Graham, I like the new avatar. It's hard to tell, but ours was taken on the Great Wall 20 years ago on a stop on Volendam's 60 day APEC cruise. @HAL4NOW Thank you for the pictures of Mt. Beckler. @ottahand7 I liked the pictures of the loons. Thank you. @aliaschief Bruce, again, thank you for more pictures of Scotland. @StLouisCruisers Sandi, I'm glad Ren is doing better and never tested negative. It's good he could to to the soccer camp, but I hope he doesn't have trouble with his leg. @JazzyV Vanessa, I'm sorry the steroid shot is not working as well this time. DH found the shots effect lessened over several years. The dryer just dinged, bot I better go fold clothes. Lenda
