My wife and I are booked for cruise from Quebec City to Miami on the Zuiderdam departing October 17. This is a question about our port of call in Halifax. We arrive in Halifax at 8am. We then depart the next day at noon. Why not 2 full days? My theory is that we will be refueling and that that is the reason for the extended stay. Thoughts?
Ingredients
1 small or 1/2 a medium eggplant
1/2 cup grated parmesan
2 tablespoon butter
1/3 cup Italian panko breadcrumbs
pizza dough for one 10-12 inch pizza
1/2 cup pizza sauce
2 cups whole milk mozzarella, shredded
1 Roma tomato, thinly sliced fresh basil leaves, torn
Directions
Prepare your Toppings:
Preheat your oven to 400°F
Remove the ends of the eggplant, then cut into 1/8" slices. You'll want about 8-10 slices. Place the eggplant in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle a thin layer of grated Parmigiano cheese evenly over the top, season with salt and pepper. Bake until the eggplant has wilted slightly and the parmesan is very lightly browned about 10-15 minutes.
While the eggplant is roasting, prepare the bread crumbs. Melt butter in a small skillet over medium heat.
Add Italian panko breadcrumbs and toast until golden brown and fragrant. Keep your eye on them and stir frequently to make sure they don't burn. Set aside.
Assemble your Pizza:
Prepare your pizza dough. You want roughly a 10-12 inch circle and I like to use a greased 12-inch pizza pan.
Scoop your pizza sauce onto the center of the pizza dough. Spread the sauce to the edges of the dough, leaving a bit around the edges for a crust.
Sprinkle on about 2/3 of the mozzarella, then top with the tomatoes, eggplant, and breadcrumbs, evenly distributed.
Finish with the rest of the mozzarella and a sprinkle of any leftover parmesan.
Bake for 15-18 minutes until crust is golden brown.
I am originally from Florida. I moved to Northern Illinois 45 years ago. I was only 28 years old when I left Florida but I don’t remember social clubs being a thing. But here in Illinois it is very common with many clubs in town.
I was wondering if social clubs are mainly a midwestern thing.
One of my favorite restaurants near downtown Raleigh. They cater to all diets and lifestyles with extensive vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free choices alongside chicken, seafood dishes and innovative plant-based specials like vegan tikka masala.
I was so impressed with their style that I purchased this book. If you are vegetarian, you’ll love this book.

My wife and I are booked on a cruise in December. I was looking at the Canaletto Cellar Master Dinner. Does anyone have any experience or opinions about this option. It is for her birthday.
I apologize in advance if I’m asking dumb questions. We are sailing next month I I tend to overthink things.
My wife and I are booked on HAL. We have never sailed on HAL before. We purchased the Signature drink package. So my questions are regarding this. From what I understand is that the package covers 15 drinks per day per card for drinks $12 or less.
I wouldn’t expect to exceed the drink limit on my own but if I am using my card to purchase drinks for myself AND my wife I can see possibly exceeding that limit.
Does HAL assume that our cards are shared and that our limit is actually 30?
Will the server tell you that your limit is exceeded or do I find out by checking my charges daily?
Will I be told that the brand of alcohol is outside my limit?
On other cruise lines that we’ve been on, before you are charged, you have to sign for it. Is that the case with HAL?
I ate at her restaurant in Chapel Hill NC. It has recently been closed.

I took advantage of their clearance. This is so nice that I wish I would have picked up two.
I have been using CPAP for over 25 years. I am seeking a smaller CPAP that I can use to travel. The problem with the micro machines is that Medicare doesn’t pay for them. Would anyone recommend a smaller/lighter CPAP machine? Right now I use a Remed Airsense 11 but that is bulkier than I would like for travel.
My wife and I booked two cruises on HAL this fall, both 14 days and I have question. We will be on the nieuw statendam and the zuiderdam.
The problem is I am a bit of an insomniac and I rise between 3 to 4 in the morning. I generally leave the room so I don’t disturb my wife who sleeps to 8 or so.
On other cruise lines I can find someplace to get a cup of coffee and read a book. Some cruise lines have cafes to get a snack.
What I am finding out there is nothing after 11:30 except for room service. The problem is that I won’t be in the room. Is there somewhere I can have room service delivered to other than my room? Where would I find just coffee?
My wife and I just returned from taking our 9 yr old grandson on a 5 day cruise. My wife and I have been sailing for over 20 yrs on various cruise lines. We have last sailed on RCL almost 10 yrs ago so this posting is to compare this cruise to others we’ve cruised.
The basic coffee (Lavazza) is excellent. I am bit of an insomniac. I am up 3 to 4 o’clock in the morning. No other cruise lines have something for us (they say they do, but don’t ). The Promenade Cafe is much appreciated. I was a regular.
The Windjammer is tops. Far better than other cruise lines in how they manage the guests.
My wife and I are leaving on a trip tomorrow and leaving him with a sitter. We are missing him already.
A guess it’s out of print. Nice beginner guide with plenty of recipes.
While visiting friends in Britain we were gifted this book. It has absolutely gorgeous illustrations and it is a joy to thumb through. It also has a great variety of recipes from around the world.
