I really miss those days and would love to have reduced capacity again, or at least not as full are they now. Unfortunately, it's not in the cruise lines best interest. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a new truck and trailer combo, and the first time the old truck has been on it. It’s a 1972 Ford 4X4 and I’m the second owner. I know the original family that owned it. It didn’t start this way though. This is how it looked when I bought it in their farm auction in Western Canada in the fall of 2004. This is how it was used on their 10,000 acre ranch. Yes, the tractor’s tires are in the air. Tony has passed along as his wife but he saw photos post restoration. He always rides with me, as his funeral program is in the glove box. Very nice restoration and keeping his funeral program is very thoughtful. Is Concours a car show or a leisure location? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had 4 bowls, plus froze two 1 qt containers, plus another 1 qt. went into the fridge to have tonight. So I would say the recipe makes little over 4 qts in total.

If you read Chris Elliot (travel troubleshooter) 3rd party websites sometimes cause problems.

Bailey & Sophie Posted September 13, 2022 #70865 Share Posted September 13, 2022 8 hours ago, Sea Dog said: Well it's always something!! Linda just got notified by email from Booking.com that our hotel reservation in Miami at the Hilton Downtown was cancelled due to invalid credit card number. Now grant you I called the Hilton last Friday to confirm our reservation and they said it was good. And we have not paid for the room yet anyway. Upon further inspection it appears that Linda gave Booking.com the wrong expiration date on the credit card. She typed in 04/22 back in January when we booked it and the actual date is 04/23. So our bad but when we go to rebook through Hilton our same room is now $200 higher at over $400 for one night. We asked if we could have the same price and they refused. Right now Linda is trying to get Booking.com to correct the issue and get us our original room rate. I do not have very much hope. She started to try and find a cheaper hotel but I said stay with Hilton because it's close to the terminal and I have shots of it in my pre cruise video for my review. Sucks that our mistake is costing us big time. Ugh. I know that feeling. I once made reservations for a flight home that took off before the ship even docked. Cost me an extra $500. I hope you can get your original price back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy to hear you booked with another hotel and won't start off your trip frustrated😀 Years ago we had issues with a booking made thru expedia travel site and the hotel not honoring the price of our booking and costing us something like $250 more for a weekend trip. After that mess we almost always book direct with hotels except for when I use credit card points and book thru them. Hilton does have a nice honors program. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need to look up some recipes on stuffing peppers. I also slice up my bell peppers and put into food saver bags then freeze and use for various dishes in the winter like sausage, meatballs with peppers and onions or chop up the peppers and put with hash browns when I make Sunday breakfast. Also great for shakshuka. Great, now I'm hungry😃 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My stuff peppers...I parboil the peppers after cutting off stem and gutting them. I saute onions, brown beef and add my homemade tomato sauce and either white or brown rice. Then I stuff the peppers with this mixture and add a little sauce over top them put in convection oven for approx. 25 to 30 minutes. Then put mozzarella cheese on top let that melt. Then eat😀 They also freeze well. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very easy to grow, never have had a failed crop in all the years I have planted them. Zucchini are always the first thing to be harvested in my garden followed by Banana Peppers and the Banana Peppers are the last thing to be harvest right up to the first frost. If you can cover them when you know frost is coming you can easily extend the growing season for them too. You don't need to plant a lot of them either because you will get a lot even from 5 or 6 plants. Half a dozen plants are plenty to plant.

I think I'll put in less crushed tomatoes and broth. If it looks like it needs more liquid, I'll add as needed. I like to idea of using a slow cooker. I don't know the size, but it seems substantial. I especially love the liners which make clean up so easy. I can't wait to make this soup. It's got all the ingredients I will use, except for the tabasco. 😏 Recipe is printed out and ready for my upcoming shopping trip. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would guess the florists are sad about the reason but also overjoyed. The flowers are lovely. The flowers can be composted, but there really should be another plan for all of that cellophane. It is just a California thing, and a long career looking at flowers. Apparently in St James Park they had a tent set up to encourage people to take off the cellophane before placing flowers 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
