Rare rafinmd Posted November 8, 2020 #3 Share Posted November 8, 2020 Thank you for the Daily, Rich. Not into bold cooking and definitely prefer regular coffee to Cappuccino. I guess my favorite of the 3 today is the Tongue Twisters. Love both the quotes and the meal suggestion sounds nice. My alternative is Strawberry/Blueberry/Bananna cup with coconut cream, Fillet Mignon, and Diplomat Strawberry Tart as served on the Prinsendam November 8, 2017. https://solocabinchallenge.files.wordpress.com/2017/11/dishes08.jpg Today's care list: Mrs Vmax with radiation looming Caregiver Gsel and her DH battling Alzheimers South Florida and Eta Patience and healing for the USA Haven’t heard from Erewhon for 3 days and Krazy Kruisers and Joe Today's Celebrations and shoutouts: Front Line Health Care Workers Teachers and school workers Fall colors Ballot counters Norseh20's planned family get-together And a shelter dog coming to the White House Roy 18 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare puppycanducruise Posted November 8, 2020 #4 Share Posted November 8, 2020 Good morning. Thank you for the Daily Report. Love the maps and the quote. I'd love a cappuccino. I'll pass on the meal suggestion, it's roast beef in the crock pot for us tonight. Praying for everyone. Stay safe. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
summer slope Posted November 8, 2020 #5 Share Posted November 8, 2020 Good morning. Woke up to a tropical storm warming on my phone. Looks like we are going to be hit hard by the end of the week. Sigh, it's November already. Agree with the quotes, under $50 usually means $49.99. The Meal suggestion sounds great but we had pork tenderloin on Friday. Pina Colada: Main alcohol: Light rum Ingredients: 1 oz (one part) Coconut cream, 1 oz (one part) White rum, 3 oz (3 parts) Pineapple juice Preparation: Mix with crushed ice until smooth. Pour into chilled glass, garnish and serve. Served: Blended with ice (frozen style) Standard garnish: Maraschino cherry, Pineapple slice Drinkware: Poco Grande glass Prayers for those on our lists and for those that need them. Congratulations to all the others. Stay safe, social distance, and wear your mask. And Southern Florida batten down the hatches. 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seasick Sailor Posted November 8, 2020 #6 Share Posted November 8, 2020 Top of the morning Rich. Thank you once again for a great Daily. Good morning sisters Ann and Denise. Ann and summer, I hope you are ok in the storm. Thank you Roy for our cares and celebrations. Will hope we hear from Erewhon soon. We are having a steak tonight and Allen already put his request in for his southern fix for tomorrow.. I enjoy a pina colada once in a blue moon. Hoping everyone stays well, safe, and continue to pray for healing of our nation. God Bless! I have never really cared for tongue twisters. I had to break the paragraph down and analyze it to death. I used to believe I was a bold cook until I learned to cook! 12 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cat shepard Posted November 8, 2020 #7 Share Posted November 8, 2020 Thank you for today’s Daily, Rich! I did a double take when I saw today’s maps. I thought you merged the two - until I realized Africa was missing. I guess my coffee has not kicked in yet! I really do love your maps! And I love today’s combo of days! Not sure if I have anything bold in the house, so I may need to venture out & stop for a cappuccino on the way home. Morning Dailyites & my Sisters! Thank you, Roy for finding a wonderful way to fit in yesterday’s news. Hope today’s wine brings Erewhon back! Love the first quote! The meal sounds nummy. And another drink of the day that I have had! @summer slope I have not checked my local weather, but the radio has stressed that you & @Hflors need to pay attention. Be safe. if you need to evacuate, please let me know. annge3 @gmail.com Prayers for all who need our support. Cheers to all who are celebrating! Stay well everyone! ******** This New Zealand Pinot Noir has excellent ratings, and if you can find it, a decent price starting around $18.00. And it has “spicy cigar box accents”! What more could one ask for?🤔 #21 Wine Spectator Top 100 of 2018 This is the family’s favorite variety, with loads of concentrated berry fruit and wild herbs. It is perfectly balanced with fine acidity and length, just what you would expect out of this region. Ideal with pâtés and salami, this wine matches beautifully with beef and lamb dishes, and try also pairing with game. Don’t be afraid to serve with a dark chocolate mousse either. Drink now or cellar for up to 5 years. WS93 Wine Spectator: Smooth, silky raspberry coulis and maraschino cherry notes are impressive for their purity, with accents of white chocolate, thyme, red licorice and cedar. Spicy cigar box accents emerge on the long, expressive and detailed finish. Drink now through 2028. 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ger_77 Posted November 8, 2020 #12 Share Posted November 8, 2020 Good morning, thanks for the Daily! Another wonderful combination of days; I've expanded my culinary repertoire ever since we were in lockdown in March. Seriously, I don't think I've ever cooked so much in my life - and my clothes prove it! Today will be spent indoors; we've already had about 10cm (4 inches) of snow since yesterday afternoon, and are expecting at least another 20cm in the next 12 hours. The city has sent out notifications to stay off the streets today to allow emergency vehicles access, and snow plows have been out all night. @summer slopeand @Hflors, we're battling storms on opposite ends of the thermometer! Good luck to you! I like both Rich's and Roy's menu suggestions, but will go with what I had planned - chicken and stuffing dinner in the crock pot. And wine. With this storm, I'm thinking I'll double up on the wine. LOL Prayers for all who need them, and even for those who don't think they do. We'll raise our wine glasses tonight to celebrate all on the happy list. Stay safe, be well! Smooth Sailing! 🙂🙂🙂 Gerry 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare kazu Posted November 8, 2020 #16 Share Posted November 8, 2020 Thanks for the Daily, Rich and our morning smile 🙂 I love the combination of days and both the quotes. I think I will pass on the meal suggestion today. Not sure what it will be yet. I have curbside pick up today so that will help me decide 😉 In honour of the first shelter dog coming to the White House: It’s the wrong kind of weather for a pina colada so I’ll wait until I am on board a dam ship 😉 Hope everyone can stay safe from all of the storms 🤞 🙏🏻 Talking about cooking (and yes, I really do cook) but a small smile: Prayers for everyone on Roy’s Care list & for anyone who needs them & a toast to everyone on the Celebratory/Shout Out list. 😄 Have a great Sunday everyone. Stay safe and don’t forget your masks.😷 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
65 Gator Posted November 8, 2020 #17 Share Posted November 8, 2020 Thanks to Rich and company for the Daily. I always appreciate the meal suggestions. Having leftover Cheesy Chicken Chili and cornbread tonight. Just had pork last night. Hope @summer slope and others in Florida do well with the weather coming in. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare rafinmd Posted November 8, 2020 #18 Share Posted November 8, 2020 My November 8 sunrise is the absolute last one from my 2015 Allure of the Seas transatlantic.

Overhead Fred Posted November 8, 2020 #20 Share Posted November 8, 2020 Mitzi has a bit of a pineapple allergy so I won't be making any Pina Coladas (even though I like them). As for cooking something bold, I am going to attempt shrimp on the grill today. I found a recipe for Maui Wowie Shrimp that sounds interesting (https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/220824/maui-wowie-shrimp/). If I could only find which moving box has the skewers! As a shared season ticket holder, I should be planning outings here - But who knows when the season will actually start? And do I really want to risk crowds anyway? 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quartzsite Cruiser Posted November 8, 2020 #22 Share Posted November 8, 2020 Good morning. We’re having pork tenderloin tonight, but not prosciutto wrapped. It will be Thai pork cooked in the crock pot. So I guess that covers cook bold day and part of the meal suggestion. While I have always liked to cook, I also think I have cooked more this yea. Usually we are on a cruise 50 to 100+ days, which means someone cooks for me. With my new fryer, I have added new recipes. Many old favorites have also been revived. Even with leftovers since there are just two of us, I cook most days. Trying to keep active so I don’t wear extra pounds. Hope everyone in Eta’s path stay safe and evacuate if necessary. Having lived along the gulf coast and near the Atlantic, we learned to take these storms seriously. Lenda 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was already very windy there with LOTS of white-capped surf. Watching the possible paths for Eta - one has it coming fairly close to us in Ocala. Not quite the same as was predicted for Irma, but close. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gigianne Posted November 8, 2020 #25 Share Posted November 8, 2020 Good morning all. Thanks Rich for your maps and all the other info you impart to us each and every day. Thank's Roy for your care and celebration lists and to SS for the drink recipes each day. I would gladly drink a Pina Colada, preferably on a ship, but theses days anywhere would be good. Tonight it is Vietnamese take out. Every Sunday our DD and DGS come for dinner, DH and I sit at one end of our 6 foot table and they sit at the other end. Once dinner is over they leave, but before they do we discuss next week’s menu. Our discussion tonight will be about our DGS's birthday dinner next Sunday. The 2 quotes of the day are true for sure, I have to pass on anything containing coffee. My best to all, have a wonderful and peaceful Sunday and to those in ETA’s path, stay safe and dry. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
