Carnival Cruise Day 1 at Sea-Saturday, November 20, 2010

11-20-10 On board the Carnival Triumph with our Sign & Sail Cards

Hey Young Chefs!

During the Thanksgiving holiday week I went on a Carnival Cruise to Belize, Honduras, and Mexico! It was exciting. I ate a lot of tasty food, had some thrilling adventures, and had the time of my life. (Sing Fergie!) LOL

We were on the Carnival Triumph. It was my first time on a cruise ship. Boy, was it BIG. On the Lido Deck (Floor 9), there was a humongous screen for an outdoor theater; 4 swimming pools and 5 Jacuzzi tubs; a basketball court; and a putt putt golf course.

The view from the top deck was amazing. Here is a picture of the city of New Orleans. Pretty!

After the ship set sail, we had dinner and then we went to a family dance party at the Hollywood Dance Club. We even learned a new dance called “The Wobble.” It’s so much fun!

It was a fun ending to a great first day on the Carnival Triumph. More to come!

Hey Young Chefs!

Today, I made Parmesan Serrano Potato Quiche Muffins. They turned out so yum yum! In case you don’t know what Serrano is, it’s a type of ham from Spain. This quiche is super simple and bakes quickly.

Here’s a tip: use a large ice cream scoop to put the quiche mixture into the muffin tin. It gives you the perfect amount every time.
