People ask about the ports we will visit on our Around-the-World Cruise in 2017. Here is a nice image that shows it all. The adventure begins January 4, 2017.

Besides fettuccine, we made a hand cut pasta called pappardelle. This was tossed with a roasted butternut squash and pesto mixture with hazelnuts instead of pine nuts and parsely & sage instead of basil. Yum!

The sauces we made to go with the pasta were simple and tasty. Ron is stirring a lemon cream sauce with salmon. This was mixed with the fettuccine we made.

Ron and I took another cooking class together at Sur Le Table. I’ve always wanted to try making pasta from scratch. It was a pretty easy process. We are going to practice at home and invite some friends to try the result.

It has been a month since we visited Ketchikan, but I just noticed this picture. There is always a “photo op” when you leave the ship at a port. I pity the poor guy or girl in that eagle suit. How many times has it been worn? How many times has it been cleaned?? I was the school mascot (Clyde Cougar) and that furry outfit was RIPE! I like this picture. I’m wearing my favorite sweatshirt and neither of us have a dumb expression on our faces. Ketchikan was the port city where we went on our Rainforest Hike on Betton Island.
