Day 1 Vancouver to Alaska Cruise on the Norwegian Sun

Image
I am starting to write this post the evening of the first sea day on the Norwegian Sun on June 20 2025. We left Vancouver yesterday at 5pm and have been sailing all day today.  I only have 150 minutes of free wifi so I am being careful on how much I am using. I don’t want to upgrade the    cost is reasonable but I am enjoying being forced not to scroll on my phone. YouTube videos will be posted in the future when I have data. Sorry for the lack of editing on this post, I am posting from the ship after a full day and trying to conserve wifi and the sea has been rough today.  The days have already been full. I had a full day in Vancouver before the cruise. My friend from Edmonton flew on the next day. We both dont think it was enough time. If I do another cruise I would add 2 or 3 days in the port. We had the latest check in time we could get between 1:30 and 2:00 this worked out really well for us because we didn’t have to wait in lines. We were planning to take skytr...

November 6, 2016 Health Show, Homesmade Ceasar Salad with Garlic Croutons

Ceasar salad recipe below

Yesterday I went to the Vancouver Health Show. It is an exhibition of health related programs. I listened to a couple of speakers one on hormones and another on minerals and the effect on the body. I had a few samples, liquid iron, juice, granola bars, spaghetti made from kojnac, and for me the highlight was sitting in chair that had a massager on it for about 10 minutes. It was relatively easy to obtain a 2 for 1 coupon for the event so the admission was $6 each for my friend and I did get a bag that had some hemp protein shake samples, a polysporin blister bandaid, and a magnet. I also entered some contests at the event received some free cloth bags, a pill container, and a frisbee. I don't know if I am a prize winner yet. It was worth the price of admission.

This is the week of being tired with a lack of energy I am pretty sure my thyroid medication needs to be adjusted again. I did miss a couple days of 3 week yoga retreat but I will be back on track soon as my advent calendar is calling me. Last night was time change so I am thinking about utilizing that extra hour to get up earlier and maybe work out in the morning.

I wanted garlic bread but I wasn't near a store that sold it and I just wanted a piece not a whole loaf. The store i was near had these great fresh buns that said they were from a Greek Bakery. I also got a romaine lettuce and local elephant garlic from the produce store. I couldn't find butter but I knew I had ghee at home which is clarified butter. 

roast garlic at 375 for 10 mins then add the bread and cook another 10 minutes
 Once the bread is toasted rub the garlic on it. I added ghee on side so it was like garlic butter and on the other side cheese so it was garlic cheese bread.
Yes I almost burned the cheese side and I was hungry I ate some to check it wasn't burnt     
Most restaurant ceasar salad will have anchovies in them so they are not vegetarian I decided to try and make my own since I had the garlic crouton part ready. Romaine lettuce is dirty and needs to be washed. I peel the outside leaves and keep those for something else like stirfry or sandwiches. The salad is good with the inside part. I also love my wolfgang puck bowls because I can make the whole salad in it and then store it in my fridge. These bowls are also oven and dishwasher safe. I bought a whole set when they were on sale on the shopping channel some of them I gave away as gifts and some I kept for myself. 


lettuce washed with outside leaves pulled off. Make vertical lines with the knife and then cut horizontal and the lettuce is pefectly chopped.
