News From the Ship's Galley

I can't lie, it is a lot of work to prepare all this food for my pretend cruise on the Queen Mary 2!  I had put together some activities aboard my pretend ship such as a puzzle, books and a list of movies. I have decided that next week I will lounge and take the time to enjoy the cruise while eating frozen dinners or something. At this point it is becoming a marathon and, by gosh, I am not giving up! 

I prepared a full English Breakfast buffet for my school bus riders and their parents who drop them off. The kids favorite part was the selection of juices. 

I enjoyed the meal quite a lot, but I am not sure I want to get up an extra hour early every day to do all this cooking! 

I had to do a menu switcheroo which resulted in two nights in a row of chicken dishes. I actually multiplied this recipe to make enough for my daughter and her family, too. We are traveling up there in the morning.  

We began with our Mushroom Tart appetizers. 

Here is my version of Chicken Marsala with Whipped Potatoes and Asparagus. 

We finished with Crustless Apple Pie. 

Well, I think I have my ducks in a row for the appetizer and mains tomorrow but I just realized I better check on the dessert before bed. Whew. Those chefs have my admiration!
