SweetPea Posted September 29, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2023 Leticia and i have a running joke that the Bloody Mary, bacon, shrimp, and olives she sends is my "breakfast salad." Today our regular room service attendant asked if that's what i eat for breakfast every day. I had to ask, do you mean, do i eat this every day at home too? Oh sweet lord, no! I'd be dead! Although, you could argue that this is low carb, so at least there's that. He's been on the ship for 8 months and is fixing to go home Sunday too. Our towel animal menagerie is growing. Our room service kiddo loves them too. We were trying to figure out the middle one. Swan? And oh, the current sitch isn't great, but I'm thinking Batman and i open that bottle of Vueve and power through in the hot tub anyway. The weather seems to be clearing and the pool music is back.

Ampurp85 Posted September 29, 2023 Report Share Posted September 29, 2023 Re: Popcorn, it is low calories and technically a veg plus has fiber so that's the nutritional part. I like @asquared17 will eat popcorn for dinner. You can eat a boatload and it is not unhealthy unless you cover it in so much butter the bottom of the bag reforms it into a stick. My brother is a chopstick master and brought me a silver set when he was in Kyoto. I practiced and can pick up rice but because I work so much with my hands, it's difficult to muster through in Izumi's ......I be like fork me please!

asquared17 Posted September 29, 2023 Report Share Posted September 29, 2023 the trick is — veuve + popcorn with truffle butter and truffle salt. legit. we would have a wine + cheese party (pre covid) and do a room of reds, a bar of whites, and a round table of sparkling/champagnes. and each wine “destination” was paired with the appropriate snacks. truffle popcorn was always paired with champagne. @SweetPea ask leticia to have them whip up the black truffle butter sauce in CK and drizzle it over the popcorn!!!!

Now I'm certain we're related. However, FTLOG, i transitioned from walking to waddling 2 days ago, and i need to cut back somewhere! We're feeling so uncomfortable we are booking an appointment with a nutritionist who does a 30-day jumpstart when we get home. This is urgent because there's been a development which I'll report later when i sum things up. It's nothing really exciting for this board but let's just say ... #Team1701 cannot cruise this fat again. 1 hour ago, Lovetocruise2002 said: One day when we sail together, I will show you an easy "cheating way" without needing to tie it together I this so much!

If you feel comfortable enough, DM me your address. I promise to use a return address label and send them properly through the post office so you don't think you're getting Anthraxed or worse. They certainly bring you more joy than me and i have no further use for our extras. I tried it once, and now I'm happy to pay it forward! But i understand if buying your own also brings you joy I checked our FB roll call. No one on our roll call has found them, or at least not posted about it.

Thank you for the kind offer! I lived in Carteret and Perth Amboy NJ as a teenager, it's Pork Roll! In Carteret there was a fast food joint I thinks called Carol's. It was pork roll and cheese on huge seeded rolls, and big fat fries. Woe, my brain hurts now. It was a thing we ate them morning, noon and night!

I think I qualify? Maybe? We went to it a couple times on Indy in the Star Lounge (I think that's the lounge name with the big chairs). It's a music based game show. On Indy, it involved maniacs who knew the answer running up to the front of the room to grab the microphone. It was pure chaos. You'll enjoy it, lol. We sat in the back with a drink and just watched people almost run over each other. I'm not sure it will be quite as chaotic in Music Hall but it's something to do for 30 mins.

OCSC Mike Posted September 30, 2023 Report Share Posted September 30, 2023 Please let me know if you go to Rock the Room and if it's crazy. I made sure to mention the venue thing b/c without the chaos, it would have just been a standard game show. The entertainment for us came from the sprinting and jostling down the aisles. One guy even knocked over one of those large cushioned chairs that are very heavy and hard to move. He really wanted to get to the mic!

Ladies & Gents, one of your favorite idiots is nearly embarrassed to say that I'm the only one in the very crowded Music Hall who knew Crush by David Archuleta.

WAAAYTOOO Posted September 30, 2023 Report Share Posted September 30, 2023 Was this prestigious event held in the Music Hall ? Did your Genie reserve seats for you ? I know there has been controversy in the past with reserving SC seats in certain venues -the Music Hall being one of those (and the now-extinct Jazz Club being another).

This was fairly last minute so we didn't bother her, but would have if we needed her to. I can't state how much i love her. Let me ask Lety tmw if there are any specific venues she cannot/will not reserve and get back to you. If you want to know anything specifically, I'm happy to ask her on tip day! Just lmk.
