Carnival Triumph

We have been on vacation (cruisin' the Caribbean) so R.D. has not been able to cook. We did however take a tour of the galley on the Carnival Triumph. The galley was VERY clean and all stainless steel, it is truly amazing all they do in that kitchen. I would say the food was OK on the boat... we have had better on other ships. R.D. did make himself known to our server, by ordering duck... our servers response, "In my 9 years on this boat, I have never had a child order duck". Now at every meal, our waiter would say something like, "Chef what's for dinner?"

Banana Bread

R.D. Made a quick banana bread, recipe from Food Network of course. In my house... banana hardly ever go bad.... so R.D. jumped at the chance to make the bread. It was a pretty easy recipe, but it was great to be in the kitchen together. I didn't taste this creation because I don't like bananas... but I hear it was good.

Smoothie or Infomercial?

R.D. spent a half hour watching of Jack LaLannne's infomercial on his amazing power juicer so of course he made juice. After squeezing a few oranges and not really getting that feeling of accomplishment, R.D. decided to make a smoothie. With some frozen fruit, orange and cranberry juices, R.D. went crazy on the blender. The smoothie came out OK, but to many seeds from the strawberries and raspberries, so he decide to strain the concoction. R.D. and Dad enjoyed the Smoothie, and I wonder if they feel younger.
