Overhead Fred Posted September 17, 2020 #28 Share Posted September 17, 2020 Our son (Niall) finally has internet at his new house! I grew up in Western Pennsylvania and my Mom made fantastic apple dumplings (and pies!) in the Fall. I think we will try our hand at them soon since it is now cool enough for extensive oven use. Planter's Punch is a great drink but there are several variations. My favorite comes from Greg Titian who does a series of You Tube videos on making cocktails. If you search "How to Drink" you should find his videos. Planter's Punch - 1/4 oz Allspice Dram 3/4 oz Demerara syrup 1 oz Lime juice 3 oz Dark rum Dash of Angostura bitters Shake with ice and "open pour" (i.e. let some ice through the strainer) into a glass (or just combine in a glass and serve on the rocks). Garnish with mint sprig and/or a lime wedge or wheel. Notes: You can use pretty much any rum, but amber or dark is preferred. Something like Appleton Estate is a great choice (several types are available). Cruzan "Aged Dark" is a good choice if you prefer amber rum. I would not recommend "Navy" style rums like Goslings Black Seal or Cruzan Black Strap for this drink since they may overpower it with their molasses flavors - Allspice Dram is a very useful thing to have around as it can be used in Tiki drinks, holiday drinks (eggnog, Tom & Jerry's) and in baking and desserts. It is made from rum, lots of ground allspice and brown sugar. You can make your own but I buy St. Elizabeth - Demerara syrup is basically simple syrup made with demerara sugar instead of white sugar. You could probably use light brown sugar instead of demerara. Cane syrup (if you can find it) or agave syrup also works. Lyle's Golden Syrup is another tasty option, but it is awfully thick and difficult to mix into a cold drink. This is what happens when you let a chemist do bartending! 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps once she clears the canal the ETA in Curacao will be updated. I wonder if they're still on the hook for a commentator and vendors even though there are no passengers. Roy Although it seems like a lot of ships are at anchorage off the Pacific Coast of Panama, traffic through the locks seems light. While Oosterdam was going through one set, the other set was empty. It seems like there is currently no wait for ships that actually want to transit. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dismomx5 Posted September 17, 2020 #38 Share Posted September 17, 2020 Thanks to all of the posters on the Daily. Cool set of Days. I have already thrown some apples in the crockpot for some applesauce, so I'll forgo the apple dumpling today. I love the quote-it is so often true. I'm not a fan of radishes, but next time I actually buy some for DH, I'll give it a go. I don't have the ingredients for the drink, so no on that one. 5 hours ago, ger_77 said: Does anyone remember when Woolworth's used to sell apple dumplings at their lunch counter? They were whole apples wrapped in pastry, baked to a golden deliciousness, served with ice cream and a drizzle of caramel sauce on top - a treat to be enjoyed sparingly! Oh, my! THIS was my treat whenever mom took me downtown. Even as a teenager, every once and a while, I would treat myself. I ❤️ these apple dumplings. And you are right....a little went a looooong way! 2 hours ago, summer slope said: Not a first world problem but our TA’s office is closing the end of the month. So sad to lose her. Another casualty of the virus. I'm so sorry that happened to you. Last time I checked my TA was still in the business. I'll soon find out, since I'll need to cancel my February Panama cruise next month. It is just too soon for me to comfortably cruise. 😢 Blessings, everyone. Be well. Stay safe. Be kind. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A great way to start the day. DD sent me this - so cute: True story. A friend lived a couple miles from a very small town. Every day he left for work the dog was sleeping on the porch, and there waiting for him when he got home. One day he was in the local bar in town and got to talking about his great dog. "Yeah, Whiskey is so good, he always sticks around, is there waiting for me when I get home.....". The bartender friend said well, actually Whiskey hangs out here most days, he leaves mid afternoon, must have a good idea when you'll get home from work. 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I won’t do my flu shot until October as it’s only good for 6 months and it’s a LONG flu season here 😞 shingles is a lost case until next year since I just got lucky enough to get shingles 😞 Caught it early so hopefully by tomorrow night the anti virals will kick in.
