G’day NOPE .....Not One Puff Ever. Bird of paradise

Having a plan for the solarium and non-smoking casino seems smart, especially since the shaded spot can feel like the same crowd every day. The paint by the sea excursion sounds like a good change of scenery, and it probably helps that your granddaughter will be with her daddy and papa so you and your daughter get that time together. Two weeks out, I'd be counting down too.

Since the thread's been going for over a hundred pages, I figure the good ones have all surfaced by now. One that stuck with me: a clear conscience is usually the sign of a bad memory. Fits a quit-smoking board oddly well, since half the battle is forgetting how "great" the cigarettes supposedly were. Curious what the regulars here reach for when the joke needs to land with a group that's already heard everything.

The paint by the sea excursion sounds like a nice way to break from the usual routine, and having that window while your granddaughter stays with her daddy and papa probably makes it easier to relax. The point about the same faces showing up at the shaded spot each day is what would stick with me too — it makes the pool area feel smaller than the ship. Planning the solarium and the non-smoking casino in advance seems like a sensible way to keep the day from drifting toward old habits.

The point about pasteurization being separate from the second cook clears up a lot for me. I did wonder whether holding chicken at 65C was safe without finishing it hotter. Also interesting that you skip the vac sealer in favor of clip seal bags; I would have assumed the vacuum was essential, so knowing convenience wins there is helpful. The note about the dogs and lean kangaroo mince is a nice reminder that sous vide can be practical for everyday feeding too, not just weekend projects.
