bdrcole Posted October 18, 2021 #5 Share Posted October 18, 2021 (edited) I missed National Meatloaf Appreciation by a day as I just had it yesterday. My SIL made it. I will take a pass on No Beard Day as I'm not shaving mine off today. We should celebrate Multicultural Diversity Day every day.

Rare puppycanducruise Posted October 18, 2021 #6 Share Posted October 18, 2021 Good morning. Thanks for the Daily Report. Meatloaf day, what a great idea for dinner tonight. My dear hubby will NOT be shaving his beard today. I agree with @bdrcolewe should celebrate Multicultural Diversity Day every day. Amusing quote. The dinner suggestion sounds good too. But meatloaf or shrimp? That, is the question. Hope the drink is tasty, the wine sounds good. Another port I have not visited, looking forward to seeing pictures. Prayers for everyone. Have a wonderful Monday, hope it's a start of a good week. Stay safe. 26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare rafinmd Posted October 18, 2021 #8 Share Posted October 18, 2021 Thank you for the Monday Daily, Rich. A salute to Multicultural Diversity, never grew a lot of facial hair and even less since hormone treatment for my cancer, and I'll pass on both the meatloaf and the shrimp. I have not been to Tarragona. Dawson must have a great sense of humor. My alternative dinner suggestion is Fruit Palette, Veal Cutlet, and Pineapple Crisp as served on MS Amsterdam October 18, 2017. https://solocabinchallenge.files.wordpress.com/2017/10/dishes18.jpg Today’s care list: Welfare of furloughed crews Western wildfires cat shepard’s friend recovering from aggressive chemo StLouisSal not hearing from friend with liver transplant RIP StLouisSal’s support group member 1Angelcat awaotomg biopsy cunorl (lymphona) and DH’s (stroke) sisters Covid in JAM37's familyFrom the rotation: LaPalma Mamaofami’s friend in hospice Celebrations and Shoutouts Nieuw Statendam on Camera 3 BHB with passengers Front Line Health Care Workers Aliaschief in Pinnacle Suite Cruising-along, Vict0riann,/ Lady President/ AncientWanderer, Sharon, lindaler, and lazey1 at sea Welcome home sailingdutchy and Vmax1700 3 days for Gail&Marty and Rotterdam Happy Birthday Seasick Sailor and SusieKIslandGirl Lady Hudson at sea (Oasis OTS) LouisSal mission woman of the year and Staff Captain Sabine, HAL’s likely first female Captain(I know this is a repeat but she’s worth it) Roy 27 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seasick Sailor Posted October 18, 2021 #13 Share Posted October 18, 2021 Good morning Rich. Thanks to you, Roy and our Food and Bev ladies. I for sure don't need beard shaving, I'm not a big meatloaf fan but make it occasionally for MSH. Even though it's prime rib night at our favorite restaurant I am having the delicious veal chop. And wine.. Yesterday was the 1st time I had CC gremlins on my computer. Now I can't even locate a sign in button today. Jeez. Yesterday I blew out the dust in the garage. The construction guys cutting tile were too close to the garage and everything was covered with dust. I washed the car and then Elvis. Hoping someone shows up today to get the next step going. Odds are they won't make their completion date of Thursday. A busy week of appointments.. Haircut, new doctor and dental visits. Wishing everyone a great week. Blessings, prayers, and cheers. 24 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cat shepard Posted October 18, 2021 #15 Share Posted October 18, 2021 CC is acting up for me today again. On my phone. Super short post. Rich & Roy thank you for making this such a great way to start the day. Prayers for all who need our support. Cheers to all who are celebrating! Stay well everyone. Luke 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon (Wahluke Slope) This wine has an excellent rating. Several online distributors with prices starting at $16.93. Winemaker Notes #82 Wine Enthusiast Top 100 of 2020 Luke Cabernet Sauvignon offers aromas dominated by marionberry and dark chocolate, accented by hints of mint and molasses. Supple, focused and expressive, layering coffee-accented blackberry and currant flavors with polished tannins and hints of cedar and smoke. Blend: 96% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Petit Verdot, 1% Malbec WE92 Wine Enthusiast Aromas of fresh raspberry, bittersweet chocolate and dried herb pop on the nose. The palate is ripe, delicious, fruit filled and lip-smacking, displaying a lot of density, intensity and texture. Give this beauty a short decant if drinking in the near term. Editor's Choice WS92 Wine Spectator A snappy and vibrant Cabernet, with blackberry, fresh basil and espresso accents that build toward the zesty finish. Drink now through 2027. 18 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grapau27 Posted October 18, 2021 #17 Share Posted October 18, 2021 Good afternoon at a wet 60°F day at the coast. We have been to the remembrance room at the Crematorium for Paulines late mam's 3rd memory. Thank you for today's daily Rich and Roy for the care, celebrations and shout out lists. Interesting days. Britain is now a very multi cultural society. I used to have a beard in my teens but shaved it off. Les Dawson was one of the best comedians of all time. Nice meal of the day. We have never been to the port of Tarragona but have had several holidays in the nearby Costa Dorada region of Catalonia in Spain. Prayers 🙏 for everyone they will help. Best wishes for a nice day. Graham. 32 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AncientWanderer Posted October 18, 2021 #19 Share Posted October 18, 2021 Good morning. We ended our Koningsdam California Coast cruise yesterday in San Diego. We had a wonderful time and enjoyed visiting with fellow Dailyites @lindalerLinda, @lazey1Jane, and @Sharon in AZSharon, along with her very pleasant DH. Lots of catching up to do here. Meanwhile, here’s a photo taken at the port in Ensenada, as guests are greeted upon return from shore excursions. Just a little bit of Holland America’s warm hospitality that we enjoyed so much. We disembarked our cruise with full hearts. 32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dfish Posted October 18, 2021 #22 Share Posted October 18, 2021 Good morning to everyone! I love a good meatloaf. My mom made a great one and it is filed in the family cookbook under Muzzy's Marvelous Meals. And, yes, I'll celebrate multicultural Diversity Day. After all, it is those differences in culture that make this world an interesting place. Why travel if everyone was exactly the same? But, in the end, the things that matter most are common to us all: family, freedom, health, and being able to love and be loved. The drink sounds interesting to me and I'd like just a sip, please. There looks like a lot of sugar involved, so I'm not sure I'd want the whole thing. Happy Birthday to @Seasick Sailor and @SusieKIslandGirl. Today's meal is a good one. And, it is easy and can be paired with pasta, rice, or riced cauliflower. Here is a basic and quick to make recipe: https://cafedelites.com/lemon-garlic-butter-shrimp/ This one adds a bit of red pepper and white wine to the mix. https://www.wellplated.com/garlic-butter-shrimp/ And this one reduces the amount of butter and proclaims it is the healthy version: https://healthyfitnessmeals.com/lemon-garlic-shrimp/ I'll take any version, thank you! 20 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare kazu Posted October 18, 2021 #23 Share Posted October 18, 2021 Thanks for the Daily, Rich and our Monday smile 🙂 Interesting collection of days. No beards in this house and no meatloaf either. Neither of us are fans of meatloaf 😉. But we happily celebrate multicultural diversity day every day in this house. 👍 Oh my heavens on the Dawson quote. Thank heavens the meal suggestion for today is not meatloaf - shrimp - yum 🙂 a very happy birthday to the birthday girls - @Seasick Sailor & @SusieKIslandGirl 🎂 🥂 @AncientWanderergreat photo and welcome home 🙂 Oh my heavens the vicious St. Lawrence River has caused the firefighters’ boat to capsize (they were rescuing people whose boat had capsized and succeeded). He is trapped under the boat and there is a huge Search & Rescue team trying to figure out how to get him. 😔 The wind and rain has certainly taken away some of the foliage of the leaves that had changed. Once it dries up, there will be a “few” leaves to clean up. There are still a ton to fall, though. When I saw this I couldn’t help but think of the struggle some of us have had with their technology and CC. We’ve been to Tarragona and it is fabulous. it’s not a port, really - it’s inland but you can get there in an hour from Barcelona. I’ll go looking for my pics and post them. Really, really recommend visiting and either have very good guide books or a good guide. We opted for the latter. Prayers for everyone on the Care list & for those that need them and 🥂 to those on the Celebratory / Shout Out list. Have a great Monday, everyone ! Stay safe & please don’t forget your 😷 28 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
