The goatcheese souffle is heaven:p. We had it in february on the Spirit going thru the Panama Canal. I spoke to the chef and he gave me the recipe. I am quite an able cook and tried it at home. I hate the fact that they carry those souffles thru half the ship and they stay high and fine. Unbelievable. Mine went down as usual just getting them out the oven. So depressing:confused:

So enjoy as many wonderful souffles as you can while on the ship.

 

Bon appetite

Eet smakelijk

How did you like that GrandMa Cake? was it covered in chocolate as well?...Ohhh I hope they have it on the Sojourn in 8 days time!:D

 

Ooooh along with those lovely NS that you soooo love! LOL! ;)

 

Now sorry for drifting off this thread but who was it who mentioned smoked Nigerian Shrimp???? We had the most delicious smoked Scottish (of course!) lobster last week at the Andrew Fairlie Restaurant at Gleneagles Hotel.

 

Dr Janey have you had any of my fav shrimp yet?:)

 

ST - wishing you a wonderful voyage and great adventures - peppered with all the characters who seem to cross your path - much to our great amusement mon cher! Seriously have a great trip. :D

Is anybody still reading this?

 

Sorry about yesterday, we had trouble with the internet.

 

Yesterday we arrived in Salalah at 12:30. Some people did tours, but most everything was closed due to Good Friday.

 

We decided to take a cab to the Hilton, so we ordered box "lunches" of baguettes, cheese, salami and fruit. The bartender made us 2 large bottles of melon colada and strawberry margaritas, and a stack of cups. We haggled with the cab drivers and finally got them down to $20.00 for 4 of us. It was about 15 minutes to the Hilton-it was in the middle of barren waste land. But for $14.00, they let you use the beautiful pool (with a slide) and they provided unlimited ice for our drinks. We shared our drinks with the entertainers, Stephen Kennedy and Calhal O'Duill, part of the opera quartet.

Also with the dancers Alex and Natasha. I keep looking for Francesca, but haven't met her yet.

 

Back to the ship for cocktails and dinner.

 

Paula Zahn left the ship yesterday. I had lunch with her and then swam with her son, Austin while she showered. She is the most delightful, humble, beautiful celebrity I have ever met. (Probably the ONLY celebrity I've ever met!)

S.T., Are these called Nigerian Shrimp? We will request them!! The Grandma's cake is delicious, but we try to avoid the sweets.

 

Also, yes, we have been playing bridge, but missed today.

Haven't done the duplicate yet, but mom will probably start up soon- she came in first last cruise!!!

 

BTW, do you all want the daily activities, as I am not the best typist. But will include if you are interested.

According to several full world cruise passengers, Grilled Nigerian Shrimp are no longer available at the Patio Grill on the HOLLABOURN :eek: Quest. The substitute was to be Grilled Lobster but that, also, is no longer available.

If you request them, please confirm if true.

Lovely day at sea today. Finally met Francesca and told her hello.

 

After our fantastic prime rib dinner last night we decided to eat in the Colonade with the the ship doctor, Gary Colner and his wife, Kathryn. It was a "Brazilian Market" and we found many delicious selections.

 

This was the Dining Room menu:

 

FIRST COURSE:

 

Seared Tuna, soba noodle and seaweed salad

 

Eggplant relish and hummus

 

Pappardelle pasta with braised veal cheaks

 

Caramelized onion consomme

 

Braised and raw endives

 

Caramelized pear salad, red oak leaf lettuce

 

MAIN COURSE:

 

Cumin and coriander crusted swordfish

 

Herb seared scallops with savory fondant potatoes

 

Herb roasted chicken

 

Grilled filet mignon

 

Spinach and corn fritters

 

 

They had the most amazing displays of easter eggs and huge chocolate rabbits in seabourn square, dining room and the Colonade. I bought all the chocolate eggs that they had in the gift shop and gave them to most of the crew.

We have made it by Yemen without any threats, but the 4 armed guards are still patrolling

 

Off to see the quartet- will be our first show!!!!

 

bye for now

 

HI MISS MARTHA!!!Met some Texas on board and also saw Aileen (sp?)

I don't know how long Daniel P. will be aboard the Spirit ~he is doing an outstanding job! Hotel MG works 24 hrs ~~he was really super on our TA.

I need to correct this ~ Chef Imre Vago was Thorston's Sous chef ~Chef Thorston, as many know, has joined Viking River Cruise ~ Chef Imre will soon be a star!!!:p

 

Happy Easter

Martita
