Rare Vict0riann Posted December 16, 2020 #26 Share Posted December 16, 2020 (edited) Good morning, all. I was awake at 5 this morning, and eventually got up at 6, so this is early for me! Made it to page 1...The vaccine was administered for the first time in BC, yesterday, so hopefully, eventually it will make its way to the island. We are at the end of the supply chain! Thank you, Rich and Roy, for the daily news, and everyone, for all the interesting contributions. PS So I didn't make it to page 1, at least I am at the top of page 2.

1ANGELCAT Posted December 16, 2020 #27 Share Posted December 16, 2020 Good morning and thanks for the update Just waiting for the snow to start. Supposed to get a foot or more😱Why am I not somewhere warm ? I love chocolate covered strawberries and pretzels. The drink sounds delicious. Picking up take out Shepherds Pie for dinner at noontime before the storm starts. Blessings and prayers to all on our lists Stay safe and warm 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overhead Fred Posted December 16, 2020 #28 Share Posted December 16, 2020 (edited) We have a bunch of different holiday M&Ms - does that count for chocolate covered anythings? Here are a couple more pictures from our December, 2015 visit to the Mounts Botanical Garden - Edited December 16, 2020 by Overhead Fred Formatting 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smitty34877 Posted December 16, 2020 #29 Share Posted December 16, 2020 Good morning to all. We await the snow storm here and hope the power holds. Thanks to Ger77 for the smashed crispy potato idea. I will make that tonight to go with the pork loin bubbling in the crock pot. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ger_77 Posted December 16, 2020 #30 Share Posted December 16, 2020 I missed yesterday’s conversation about masks, but wanted to show you my mask for Gala Nights. After making and donating over 500 of them, I decided to make one just for me. BTW, “Gaudy” is my middle name. LOL Smooth Sailing! 😊😊😊 Gerry 25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck to those getting ready to dig themselves out. Shortly after sunrise this morning my DDIL sent me a SUNRISE photo from their condo in Clearwater Beach. DS has been sending sunset photos but I think I will put her in charge of sunrise photos. This one is a beauty. Wow! Absolutely stunning! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

65 Gator Posted December 16, 2020 #36 Share Posted December 16, 2020 Thanks Rich and the gang. I'm late to the party again but was intrigued by the pineapple rice. Last night I had smoky pulled chicken with Caribbean yellow rice with Pineapple. That was my first time using pineapple in rice but it was WONDERFUL so will be having it again. I used half water and half coconut water so it was a bit sweet but perfect with the pulled chicken. We have a Town Hall at the hospital today to discuss the allocation of vaccines for our community. I don't expect the 975 doses to last long. The clinic will run 16 hours a day to accommodate shift workers. Lots of excitement to finally getting this started. 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Vict0riann Posted December 16, 2020 #37 Share Posted December 16, 2020 @ger_77, love the mask. 😷😄 Maybe I will just have to "sequinize" one of mine - it will be a good project for the winter. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bennybear Posted December 16, 2020 #38 Share Posted December 16, 2020 (edited) Good morning and thanks Rich, Roy et al! I like pineapple fried rice with duck! One of our local restaurants does a very good Peking duck, and that is one of the dishes and bonus it works well for take out! The drink sounds intriguing, curious does that make two drinks! I could only have a sip. @ger_77 I realized that gaudy must be related to Gaudi, so much more refined for over the top. Just your artistic side👏🏻 I’m curious what the Westerdam is doing in the canal? Thoughts? a few more of the locals... Edited December 16, 2020 by bennybear 16 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruising-along Posted December 16, 2020 #39 Share Posted December 16, 2020 Good morning all from another drizzly day in the PNW (but glad it isn't snow). Thinking of all who are affected by the nasty cold white stuff. You had me at chocolate too, cannot resist ANYthing chocolate. 🙂 @Seasick SailorSophie is just adorable! Thank you for posting the photos 🙂 @ger_77I love that mask and would definitely wear it! Today we're going for our weekly visit with the grandkids (although the last two weeks before Christmas we're having twice/weekly visits because of fun Christmas doings! I'm bringing them chocolate chip cookies today. Which I haven't made yet, so will get down to the kitchen. 🙂 Everyone have a great day, help is coming! 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruzn single Posted December 16, 2020 #40 Share Posted December 16, 2020 Thanks to all for the cheer this morning! Prayers for the care list. Wishing that the storm won't wreck too much havoc for those expecting its' arrival! Looks like it could snow here, but none in the forecast til tomorrow, and even then it will be light! The picture of the drink is so pretty. Since I can't do much dairy, will forgo it. Anyway, I like my martinis just like James Bond (with no extra frills). Now, as far as chocolate covered "anything", count me in! Have a great day everyone. I have 3 hours of Zoom calls today for Red Cross. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quartzsite Cruiser Posted December 16, 2020 #42 Share Posted December 16, 2020 Good morning. Chocolate covered anything day is my kind of day. Of course, my chocolate doesn’t have to cover anything. 😍 However, I do have homemade Christmas candy with pecans, so I will definitely celebrate today. Good news yesterday. All the cookies I mailed last week were delivered Sunday and Monday, plus none were broken.👏👍 I also got the last cookies delivered to our neighbors yesterday. This year, to be safe for all of us, I delivered them when the neighbors were gone, just left them by the door. Lenda 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gigianne Posted December 16, 2020 #43 Share Posted December 16, 2020 I did not make it before noon so good afternoon all! I am sitting here looking at a bag of chocolate covered sponge toffee that DD gave me two weeks ago and I have not opened it yet. I guess I am testing my resistance We are having stir fry with rice for dinner, no pineapple though. I agree with others about the drink, it is beautiful to look at. No snow here yet but we are in weather watch. I am not sure that DH and I want to wear a mask on a cruise ship, if those are the regulations we may just have to wait it out. Thanks to Rich and Roy for your lists, my best to all. Have a wonderful Wednesday. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Vict0riann Posted December 16, 2020 #44 Share Posted December 16, 2020 I don't think I will mind wearing a mask on a ship - as long as I know it's not going to be forever! I have no difficulty breathing through multiple layers, and I can't wear my glasses as I steam them up terribly, but I think my hearing is a little bit affected when I wear a mask - or maybe it's when the person I'm listening to is wearing a mask. I sometimes wonder if it is actually the sound is muffled, or possibly it's because I can't see the persons lips move - maybe I'm lip-reading? 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not keen on having a mask on for 8 hours or more on a cruise ship either. 14 minutes ago, Vict0riann said: I don't think I will mind wearing a mask on a ship I don’t mind wearing a mask when I am shopping, etc but wearing a mask on a ship would entail a much longer time frame and not sure if we would want to do it or not. I’m hoping that the vaccine is out and I certainly don’t mind to continue to wear one shopping to protect others. With luck the ships will require a vaccine to board and, if that is the case there should be no need for a mask if all goes as it should. 🤞 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacqui you must spend more time out of your cabin than I do. 😄 I'm back and forth all day (unless out on a tour) so rarely out more than a couple hours at a time. I do agree though that hopefully the vaccine will be required so masks will be unnecessary. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think I've ever been out of my cabin that long unless it was a port day. BUT let's hope it won't be a consideration anyway. 🙂 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
