Just got back from our cruise!
I tried to take pictures of everything, but I didn't get it all. Here's a sampling.
FRIDAY, JANUARY 4, 2008
Pre-cruise
Breakfast
Scrambled eggs with tomato, whole wheat toast with blueberry preserves and pumpkin butter, candied walnuts
Afternoon snacks
Clementine, soup with napa cabbage, candy cane Joe-Joe
First bite of cruise food!
My mom and I were hungry when we got on the ship so we headed over to Sorrento's pizza and got chicken salad rolls.
Dinner
Bread and minestrone soup to start
Mom's scallops with white corn risotto (appetizer), my insalata mista with thousand island
Rosemary lamb shank with garlic roasted potatoes. Mmmm.
Dessert
All 4 of us ordered a different dessert so we could try them all!
Mom: tiramisu, me: chocolate layer cake
Grandma: raspberry panna cotta, Grandpa: warm chocolate cake
Post-dinner munchies
Then my mom and I walked upstairs to check out the buffet in the Windjammer Café ... and we realized they had a ton more desserts. So of course we had to try them too!
Random food from the teen nightclub (chicken samosa and melon), margarita pizza from Sorrento's, "midnight delights" (like mini hors d'oeuvres) that waiters brought around the bars at around 12:20 AM
SATURDAY, JANUARY 5, 2008
Breakfast
Grapefruit, pineapple, honeydew, scrambled eggs, Swiss bircher muesli with sliced banana (SO good)
Random less-healthy stuff.
Lunch
Lunch buffet!
And of course, lunch desserts. Notice my lame attempt at making my plate healthier with the cauliflower and broccoli.
Afternoon snacks
Orange, croissant and danishes we stole from the morning buffet
Dinner
Bread, oxtail broth and lobster bisque (way too salty)
Mom's escargots, lemon sorbet to cleanse the palate or whatnot
Entrees!
Me: citrus lime salmon, Mom: truffled wild mushroom linguine
Grandma: roasted duck, Grandpa: filet of beef
Dessert
Mom: Grand Marnier soufflé, me: strawberry cheesecake
Grandma: banana-coconut layer cake, Grandpa: vanilla ice cream with chocolate syrup (and a ladyfinger)
Post-dinner munchies
More buffet sampling
SUNDAY, JANUARY 6, 2008
Breakfast
Pretty much the same as Saturday. Muesli (it had raisins, sliced almonds and citrus zest) with sliced banana, fruit, pancakes, waffles, and my absolute favorite (okay, maybe tied with the muesli) -- biscuits and gravy. Yum.
Morning snacks
We watched a cooking demonstration and they made this cajun-style shrimp. It was really, really good.
They also made a dill-cured salmon and tiramisu.
Lunch
Random buffet madness.
Afternoon snacks
Really gross-looking leftovers from the four BBQ baby back ribs I had
Dinner
Basil, mozzarella and focaccia tossed salad, corrrrnbread
Appetizers!
Mom's citrus cured salmon, Grandma's wild mushroom in puff pastry
My red pepper hummus, and Mom's smoked salmon pasta (entree)
Indian vegetable curry
Post-dinner munchies
The buffet had some really good crab cakes and brownies.
Oh, and I had a ginormous slice (in the picture, there's half left) of chicken pizza from Sorrento's
MONDAY, JANUARY 7, 2008
Breakfast
I forgot my camera, but I had pretty much the same stuff. Muesli, fruit, french toast (sadly, there weren't any more biscuits), a cinnamon roll, and an apple strudel pastry.
Morning snacks
I'm still in the cruise mindset. Seriously. I can't stop eating.
Halls blueberry drop, candy cane Joe-Joe's, chocolate cookie, toffee cookie
Lunch
Back to Grandma's fantastic cooking!
Garlic-marinated pork, napa soup, green peas with pork
Baby bok choy, rice, daikon cake
Afternoon snacks
Pistachios, Fuyu persimmon, napa soup, soy-glazed walnuts
Clementine
Dinner
Chinese comfort food. White rice porridge, green peas sauteed with pork, ban doufu (silken tofu mixed with salt, spices and sesame oil), Chinese veggies
Wilted baby bok choy, soy-glazed walnuts, and pork sung (which I forgot to take a picture of)
Post-dinner munchies
Two persimmons
Clementine, baby carrots
