I love carved watermelons. There was always a nice one each day on display in the Horizon Court buffet.

This is even cooler!

Alaskan Cruise - Smoked Sockeye

More great salmon!

This photographer says:

"'Smoked wild sockeye salmon with condiments and brown bread' - I can't get enough of salmon on this cruise. Delicious as always."

Neither could I, and yes - oh-so-delicious~

braided christmas bread

Photo note:

"I made a lot of bread for Christmas, for eating and for giving to people. Besides this one, there were also a couple of pretty bread wreathes with bows that somehow got eaten while I was out shopping yesterday. That's ok. This loaf grew so large in the oven that I had to scrape it off the upper rack where it had baked through the slats....

Sweet Christmas bread recipe:

1 cup warm water
4 1/2 tsp yeast (2 packets)
1/2 cup honey
3 cups warm soy milk, or whatever
lots of flour

No instructions. You should know how to make bread, damnit. Baked at 350. Sprinkled with poppy and flax seeds over a glaze of oil and honey and soy milk. The amounts given will make three normal-sized loaves or lots of smaller ones."

"My sister made a braided loaf of wheat bread. It was soft & warm & delicious with the homemade vegetable soup my mom made! Yum! A very nice lunch on a cold day."

More Alaska (Princess) Cruise Food






Glacier-watching is hungry business, so while taking a break from oohing and ahhing and shooting photos, we enjoyed several lunch buffets.



These breads were gorgeous.


Looking at these got me thinking about the breads my grandmother made around Easter time. . .
