I was also surprised to learn that we were almost finished loading and would be gone well before lunch. The day before was American Thanksgiving, and I wasn’t sure if they would start loading us late in the evening. I decided to make something I had never made before, in the theme of the American Thanksgiving. I have never made it before, but I know it is often found on menus when I am eating out at breakfast diners... Biscuits and gravy. I looked up three recipes for Biscuits and gravy and took something from each recipe to create my own. I will share this recipe in the future. I also tried a new biscuit recipe that I was very happy with, and it’s shareworthy. On the bottom is one of the many photos of the calm water that I took. The calm after the storm, and I hoped it would last until we crossed Lake Superior on our way to Quebec City.
Just as I was going to bed the night before, I heard the engines start. I knew the “Galley gossip” I’d heard in the supper line was true: we were making our way into Superior, WI, to load around 21h00. I had a lovely surprise when I went out to get my morning coffee. The 4-8 Wheelsman was there and asked if I had received my package. What a lovely surprise to find a large red gift bag filled with local goodies and a Christmas card from Marilyn from Port Transportation Services. It was such a lovely gesture. She mentioned that she was available to pick up groceries or take me ashore. It’s nice to know that I can call if I am running low on an important staple or need some shopping therapy. I do enjoy looking through a grocery store.
