helen haywood Posted August 2, 2022 #66626 Share Posted August 2, 2022 My husband was a pilot and enjoys watching a program called Air Disasters. I thought I remembered the SS Norway’s being involved in one show. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proteus_Airlines_Flight_706 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This time, we topped it with pesto sauce made from fresh Basil in Micheline's garden. We started though with a home made salsa appetizer, using a recipe from my daugher's chef boy friend. Looks a little different but tastes so good. The pesto tasted great but next time, we'll spend more time grinding the basil on the mortar and pestle. It could have been more finely ground. We used this recipe. It's a lot of work grinding everything but I'm convinced that the extra effort makes it taste better. Served it with a Caesar salad and a glass of Montepulciano. I'm still stuffed. Edit: Forgot to add the pesto recipe link. Food Wishes Video Recipes: Proper Pesto Looks delicious. That’s ambitious doing the pesto by hand, I’m lazy and use the food processor. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had RVs on either side of them. Both RVs had their generators going all night due to the hot weather. Due to the noise from the generators , DD ended up using her sound diminishing earplugs more to sleep at night than to filter the loud stage music during the day. The RV neighbours were lovely though feeding and watering the girls constantly with leftover meals at breakfast and dinner and serving them alcoholic drinks in the evening when they were all at the campsite at the early evening at the same time 🍹 It sounds like they’ve met some great people during their trip. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sailing was memorable in more than one way. We sailed into the first hurricane of the season, and it was the longest sustained, Cat 5 of the century. Happy Anniversary to you both! Looking at the pictures you posted of the ship I can’t imagine sailing through a storm, let alone a hurricane in something that size (compared to modern ships). How did the ship handle it? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will not be the anniversary celebration we had planned. We have all 3 grandkids today, because our daughter is in for a medical procedure. Our celebration will have to wait. Out for breakfast with the grands, then will see what this day holds for us and the kids. I hope your DD is okay and her procedure goes well with full recovery in her future. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was headed to Pittsburgh for an overnight stay, then flying out in the morning for a same day flight for my first ever cruise. It is a good thing airlines were more reliable then. Susan and I were sailing on the eighth sailing of the SS Norway, which was the largest cruise ship at the time. We sailed to St. Thomas and Little San Salvador. Now those were lifeboats We couldn’t fly down the day before, because August 2nd we were too busy getting married. I guess I have never done that since, either. 😏 Happy Anniversary! What a marvelous honeymoon you had. Wasn’t she a wonderful ship? And great entertainment. Jim Nabors was the entertainer on one of my cruises. Norway may have been the first ship to do Broadway musicals. I remember Meet Me in St Louis and PT Barnum. The funny thing was that I would swear every cabin was a different size or shape. That was before they built them in a factory and hoisted them onto the ship. Thanks for posting the photo. Norway was so beautiful! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jagsfan Posted August 2, 2022 #66644 Share Posted August 2, 2022 (edited) I looked back at my video and it was only a fuzzy photo. So here are a couple of photos showing what delivery of a backyard pizza oven looks like!A crane lifted it over the house. Luckily the people in the beige house weren’t home. It looked like it swung close to it. Ty started pretty high up. DD’s house is 3 stories. That white square is the new base for it. The summer kitchen designer also built a new base for the Big Green Egg, which has withstood the salt spray that ruined the old pizza oven. The rest of the summer kitchen is under a roof. Our SIL turns out great food so it’s the go to place for a lot of us. IMG_7312.MOV Edited August 2, 2022 by jagsfan 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I too use a FP. I usually blend up everything but the basil first. Then I chop up the basil with a knife before adding if in the FP. This helps the pesto to stay greener. Before, when I just tossed it all in, the basil would turn dark before the pine nuts were finely chopped. I plan to make some when my DD comes tomorrow. Maybe make some pizza with it 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
