THE LIST

tony and i are back from the cruise....ten days aboard the Norwegian Spirit. we left from new york and visited st. thomas, st. maarten, barbados, antigua and tortola. there will be pictures and descriptions of all of that forthcoming, but first let's talk about the food. after our trip last year, i posted an incomplete list of some of the foods we had eaten. this year, i vowed to keep a better record. despite running out of paper (twice), i think i captured everything we ate on the entire trip. in addition to three seated meals a day in the main dining room (known as Windows), where we were served by the ever gracious dorothy and joenylyn, we also made multiple trips upstairs to the raffles buffet, along with stops in the blue lagoon restaurant, cagney's steakhouse, le bistro, the bier garten, and the garden room. oh, and there were a couple of poolside barbecues. and a cocktail party with hors d'oeuvres. well...you get the idea. in attempt to make it more digestible, as it were, i have grouped things by category. one caveat (if you can believe it)--while everything is included, i have left out the part where we ate items more than once. for instance, one of us had a caesar salad almost every day. and of course we ate bread with every single meal. so the sum total of what we ate is actually significantly greater than what you see here.

bon appetit!
