[...] on the lanai. We got the day rolling with one of our favorites, Challah Bread French Toast (which I posted about last month). There were two differences today. The first was using Grand Marinier instead of Amaretto. [...]

[...] a discussion of surf and turf came up, and I recalled that we wanted to have bison rib-eyes for Day of Thrones 3, but the butcher was out. I called the manager, verified they’d have them, and we were in [...]

Comment on An Evening with Ina by David and Kathryn

S&G and N&J it was so fun to get to do this with you! For those reading this, the pictures cannot do the meal justice and they are awesome! Sheldon’s descriptions come close but you really need to try some of Ina’s recipes for your selves (you definitely need your friends there to enjoy it with you), you will think you are a classically trained French Chef! We enjoyed every single bite and didn’t leave out feeling full even with all that food (not to mention K and I didn’t eat lunch to have a little extra room). What you will ultimately need is someone like Sheldon (or N) to pair your courses with an outstanding wine. This was one of the best meals we’ve had there….heck just about anywhere and it will be remembered for as long as we live — D&K

It’s 9:40 on a Monday morning – I should NOT be sitting at my desk drooling! Now instead of going to mark five hours of oral presentations all I want to do is go home, dig out my Ina cookbooks and make all of these!

Lisa makes (non-C/R) challah french toast the same way with the exception of the orange peel. The Amaretto goes very well with it, and we generally pair it with a couple varieties of fresh fruit (mango and strawberries, last time). I think we’ll have to try the C/R version to compare.

Comment on Getting a Drink at Disney (Or Not) by Christina

I have to agree 100% with you on this. As a frequent guest of WDW my husband and I have had the same problems. We were at the pub in England @ Epcot. It was wall to wall people and only 2 bartenders. And one of them was just doing drinks for diners. Thankfully we stay at the Wilderness and can get a drink at Artist Point with out any grief. Because as you said the bartenders are spot on there. Well except that when your from WI and you ask for an Old Fashioned.

When I originally commented I clicked the -Notify me when new comments are added- checkbox and now each and every time a comment is added I get 4 emails with the same comment. Is there any way you'll be able to take away me from that service? Thanks! christian louboutin simple pumps
