Rare puppycanducruise Posted June 4, 2021 #5 Share Posted June 4, 2021 Good morning. Thanks for the Daily Report. Interesting collection of days. I'd love a piece of applesauce cake. I like cheese. I don't have a cat, so I'll hug my dog instead. Not sure about the meal choice. 😁 Have a wonderful Friday. Stay safe. 23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfish Posted June 4, 2021 #6 Share Posted June 4, 2021 Good morning, everyone. More interesting days today. I have no cat to hug, love cheese, and would love applesauce cake if it didn't have so many carbs. Today's meal is an ingredient. But, an ingredient we should pay attention to carefully. It was widely used for its medicinal an aphrodisiac properties and goes well in any salad. https://www.thespruceeats.com/all-about-arugula-4063861 Here's a great salad with arugula: https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/tyler-florence/arugula-salad-with-olive-oil-lemon-and-parmesan-cheese-recipe-1943201 Or, for more of a main dish, you can try this: https://www.health.com/recipes/lemon-garlic-pasta-tuna-arugula 32 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Boston Posted June 4, 2021 #7 Share Posted June 4, 2021 Good morning, thanks for today’s daily Rich. Applesauce cake sounds good for dessert but arugula for dinner? Not! My old cat used to like a hug each morning but sadly, he is no more. I enjoy snacking on cheese. The wine sounds very nice, I love a good zin. Haven’t been to today’s port and look forward to the photos. Prayers for all those in need. Cheers for everyone who are celebrating events today. 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimgev Posted June 4, 2021 #8 Share Posted June 4, 2021 (edited) Good Morning. We don't have a cat but our little dog is about the size of a cat. he will get his hugs today.I love cheese. Exploring varieties in a cheese shop in France was always a must when there. I've always been a fan of Judy Collins especially when she teamed up with the songs of Leonard Cohen. Arugula is good in a salad - maybe have that with some lasagna tonight, We had a Russian River Valley old vine zin along with our Memorial Day Steak Dinner just a few days ago - it was delicious.

Seasick Sailor Posted June 4, 2021 #9 Share Posted June 4, 2021 Good Friday morning Dailyites. Thank you Rich for all the lists. I saw the arugula and thought what a great idea to list an ingredient then have Deb make a meal from it. And she did! Surprised the CC police didn't catch you on the drink of the day..Good morning sisters.. prayers for our friend Roy. Gerry, I'm sorry for your loss. Prayers. Cheers. Blessings. Hug your cat, eat your cheese (and arugula) 33 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cat shepard Posted June 4, 2021 #10 Share Posted June 4, 2021 (edited) Thank you for today’s Daily, Rich! A great trio of days! Cats, cheese & applesauce cake! Love cats, wish Bindi did. She does like cheese, though. Jacqui & Roy, thank you for keeping our lists! Morning Dailyites & my Sisters. Another lovely day in the neighborhood. Everything smells different after yesterday’s rain! Love Judy’s quote. I want to meet the person who believes Arugula is a meal. I suspect it is a rabbit or perhaps a deer. I do love it in my salad, though. Thanks for hunting down that recipe, Debbie! Can’t wait for Summer’s recipe. 😎 Today is Zumba, help a friend install something that needs two people, call a few folk to arrange for service, and call our airport transportation guru for our Iceland trip. The last is a talker, so that might take some time.🙄 Wrap up the day with happy hour at a friends and perhaps order pizza. I know it will be more than arugula! Prayers for all who need our support. Cheers to all who are celebrating! Stay well everyone! ********** Today’s wine has excellent ratings. You might not be able to find the 2015 vintage locally, but pick up the one you do find - they are all rated the same. I found several online distributors for the 2016 vintage with prices starting at $35.99. @jimgev, thank you for adding personal experience- it adds a lot to the Daily wine info. Winemaker Notes #21 Wine Spectator Top 100 of 2017 The aromas of fresh blackberry, blueberry and black cherry are balanced with hints of cracked pepper and allspice. Blackberry, nutmeg and mocha flavors lead into an intense, elegant and silky finish. WS94 Wine Spectator: This is what Russian River Zinfandel is all about. Rich, dynamic and layered, with complex fruit, offering notes of jammy black raspberry, stony mineral, herbes de Provence and licorice. The finish unfurls at length. Drink now through 2026. RP94 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: This Russian River Zinfandel is a blend of five old-vine, dry-farmed and low-yielding vineyards from the Russian River Valley AVA with an average vine age over 100 years. It is aged in French oak, 42% new, for 16 months prior to being bottled unfined and unfiltered. Medium to deep garnet in color, the 2015 Zinfandel Russian River is redolent of baked blackberries, dried mulberries and blueberry preserves with hints of leather and spic box. The palate is full-bodied with loads of berry preserves and Indian spice layers supported by chewy tannins and lovely freshness, finishing long, savory and with wonderful poise. 1727 cases were made.

Rare kazu Posted June 4, 2021 #11 Share Posted June 4, 2021 Thanks for the Daily, Rich and our morning smile 🙂 Great collection of days. Hugging your cat is good for you so for those that can, go ahead and celebrate the day. Cheese yum!! Love cheeses of all kinds but I tend to get these looks as my dogs love cheese too. Love the quote by Judy Collins. Not sure about the meal for the day - I like a bit of arugula in a salad but not all by itself. I have no idea what we are having for dinner tonight. Yesterday I started out full of ambition but by the time I was done planting and the aching was coming on, I lost most of my ambition. I did bbq steak in the pouring rain but the rest of the menu was pretty slim 😉 Today’s port is a wonderful place to visit. We really enjoyed it and were enthralled to see Tasmania devils. Sadly my pics are the old style.

Rare rafinmd Posted June 4, 2021 #12 Share Posted June 4, 2021 Thank you for the TGIF Daily, Rich. I don't have a cat to hug. My most common lunch is ham and cheese sandwich. Applesauce cake sounds nice. The Collins quote seems a bit strange. I've been to Australia several times but never to Burnie. Arugula sounds more like a side dish than a meal.

summer slope Posted June 4, 2021 #13 Share Posted June 4, 2021 (edited) Happy Friday! Love applesauce cake, much to her dislike really hugged our cat and cheese is always good. Great quote. Will pass on the meal, not a fan of Arugula. Have not been to today's port, the long plane ride discourages that. Maybe a cruise someday. Another rainy day expected. My fruit trees are loving it. prayers and toasts for our lists. Stay safe, social distance, and continue to wear your mask. Today's drink is unique. The creator was a bartender who thought it was what a "star" would order. The scent is said to smell like perfume. Pornstar Martini: Ingredients 1 1/2 ounces vanilla-flavored vodka 1/2 ounce passion fruit liqueur (such as Passoã or De Kuyper) 1 ounce passion fruit puree 1/2 ounce lime juice, freshly squeezed 1/2 ounce vanilla simple syrup 2 ounces sparkling wine, chilled Garnish: 1/2 passion fruit Steps Add all ingredients except sparkling wine into a shaker with ice and shake vigorously until well-chilled. Garnish with a passion fruit half. Serve with a sparkling wine sidecar (on the side). Edited June 4, 2021 by summer slope 29 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Crazy For Cats Posted June 4, 2021 #18 Share Posted June 4, 2021 Good Morning Everyone, thanks for the daily report. Definitely enjoy a good applesauce cake and there is always bars of cheese in the refrigerator. Today is also national doughnut day. Have the afternoon off and hope to get some birthday shopping done while DH is at work. With seven cats in the house it’s always hug a cat day. The newest member of the family enjoys my lap.

smitty34877 Posted June 4, 2021 #21 Share Posted June 4, 2021 Good morning. Thanks for our lists,recipes quotes,ports and the Daily. It is a very humid day here after an exciting thunderstorm last night. It set all the dogs on the street barking. I would enjoy the arugula either in a salad or with the tuna and pasta but I fear DH would look very sad to see this coming his way. Applesauce cake would be nice and I have to pretend the cheese is NOT in the refrigerator. There are many many kitties around here: four next door with DD and DSIL and 3 who live outside. They provide us with endless entertainment. Only two of them would like hugs....I have tried. Tana continues to have good days and bad but is working her way through various procedure/test appointments. We take turns driving her and waiting outside as the Bronx hospital she works for and goes to as a patient does not allow anyone else in yet. Some of the news has been quite concerning but we are trying to be patient and wait for a treatment plan. Unfortunately she has had high fevers a few times since being home. The more I learn about "long haul Covid", the more I worry for her and for countless others going through the same thing. Tonight I am making cheese ( yes) and bean enchiladas for the whole family. It will be wonderful to see everyone around the table. Terry 24 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cunnorl Posted June 4, 2021 #24 Share Posted June 4, 2021 Good Morning Everyone from a warm but overcast day at the beach. Love applesauce cake and cheese. Dont have a cat. I like arugula but I would prefer the alternative meal today. I am still a fan of Judy Collins music. Went to a few of her concerts years ago. Burnie is a scheduled stop on our booked trip for 2022, so anxious to see the pictures. Hope Australia is open ! @summer slope I hear you about the flight back. We are going to try and break it up. It is going to be a challenge but .... Much fanfare at Port Canaveral this AM. The "Mardi Gras" arrived accompanied by the " Liberty" and 'Freedom". Hundreds of people were there along the jetty. It was quite a site coming across the bay. The Mardi Gras is one big ship. I will probably never go on her, as I prefer HAL and smaller ships. But nice to see! Water aerobics today. Stay safe and enjoy today. 24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
