  1. Glad everything went well for you and DH as well for @smitty34877 and Tana.
  2. We are glad we could be there for you, Karen. Anytime you need us, just drop on by.
  3. Welcome @YourWorldWithBill! We hope to hear more from you!
  4. Good morning, everyone! We had a light dusting of that white stuff overnight, but it should be gone by noon. It is cold out today! And it will be cold for the next week. We start to warm up again next week. I'm back to the gym today after taking yesterday off. Today is water fitness. Then I have to take Ellamary a copy of the NCAA brackets as she wants to join our little betting group. We each pay $1 and fill out the brackets. DB Jeff takes care of all of it. But, since his printer isn't working, I have to take him his bracket sheet as well. I see we have another Act Happy Day! I'll do my best. We always recycle what we can here. Our recycle bin is filled to the brim while the trash bin is almost empty. The Goddess of Fertility sailed away a long time ago. I'll let her engage with younger folk. The drink sounds good, but awfully sweet. I have never been a fan of pot roast. I think it is because there was always a hidden hunk of fat or gristle in it and as a kid, I hated that. Well, I still don't like biting into gristle. The carrot lovers will enjoy this first one. https://www.theanthonykitchen.com/tak-39-s-pot-roast-roast-beef-recipe/ This one has a few more veggies in it but is also heavy on the carrots. https://www.spendwithpennies.com/perfect-pot-roast/ This one has different seasonings, but it still heavy on the carrots and celery. I don't like cooked celery either. When I put it in soups it has to be chopped very finely so I don't see it. https://www.eatingwell.com/recipe/263579/fork-tender-pot-roast/ We have leftovers for today. There is a choice between ribs and Beef and Guinness Stew. Wishing you all a wonderful day!
  5. Wishing all the cruisers a wonderful time aboard. I have to go make bread for dinner.
  6. Here is the recipe from Darina Allen: Beef and Guinness Stew The one I use is very similar except it doesn't call for carrots. I put the small pearl onions in it along with mushrooms. Otherwise, they are the same as to amounts of stock and Guinness and seasonings. Deb
  7. I like to collect cookbooks from places I've visited and Ireland is no exception! The first time I was in Ireland I mentioned it to our tour director and the bus driver overheard and bought me one of Darina Allen's cookbooks! He thought she was the best at authentic Irish cooking. It would be cool to go to her restaurant someday. I'll get the cookbook out. How old is DM now? That may be part of the issue. I think we'd be a bit cranky, too. Am I right that she is in an assisted living arrangement? If so, would they contact you if they noticed something was really off? It is hard taking care of an elderly parent because in many ways you are the parent and they are the child, but they don't want to be the child and let you know that they aren't! Add my welcome home to the mix.
  8. @Sharon in AZ Hugs to you, friend. Feel free to call when you need an ear.
  9. We had one on Zaandam last August when we were on board and also on Koningsdam in February. As @kazu said, the menu is much improved and really quite good!
  10. Good morning, everyone! It is going to be quite a bit colder here in mid-Michigan for the next couple days. Not much we can do about it, so on with life. Bon Voyage to @Scrapnana. @irishjim and Sheila Not much on the agenda for today. I am taking today off from the gym having hit it 6 out of 7 days this week. I'll get back to it tomorrow. I debated between making corned beef and cabbage and decided we were having Beef and Guinness Stew along with homemade soda bread. The ribs last night were a huge success. We have enough left over for dinner on Monday night. My dad loved corned beef and cabbage and mom made it a few times. We kids stuck our noses up at it. On my last trip to Ireland I debated between the bacon and cabbage and the beef and Guinness. I went with the beef and Guinness to see if it was as good as I made at home. Almost! https://www.spendwithpennies.com/corned-beef-and-cabbage-slow-cooker-recipe/ This recipe has you roast the potatoes separately. There is also a horseradish sauce that I know I would love. It still has the carrots in it for @Quartzsite Cruiser Lenda and @Cruising-along Carolyn. https://thefoodcharlatan.com/corned-beef-and-cabbage-with-horseradish-sauce/ When I was in Ireland I never found corned beef and cabbage. It was always bacon and cabbage. And the bacon isn't like the stuff we get here. It comes from the back of the pig, not the belly and is much leaner. It is kind of like what we call Canadian bacon. Here is a recipe from Darina Allen, well known in Ireland. https://www.seriouseats.com/traditional-irish-bacon-cabbage-parsley-sauce-recipe Wishing you all a pot of gold!
