Oh my what an imaginative titleO is for: Overindulgent Oinkification of Ordered Offerings
It was more tasteless than SNL on any given weekend.
Think I might of planted myself right down next to him.Anyway, because of this selfish oaf, I stood in the very, very, very hot sun and ate my delicious brat and nudeln.
Oh yum
So love that party. Need to go again some year.
Well, considering I was talking about you... then totally agree.
Yeah... permanently.
They're there to interact, so... interact!
oh pffttt… New lens helps. But you have to know the settings and have an eye for where to point it.
I think you're far overshadowing me in the photo department. Admittedly, I mostly took snaps and not "photos" on my road trip... although... I did take the big camera out a couple of times and... hoping they turned out. We'll see.
And... I may not. I so love my float!
So being constipated is a good thing here.
No. I highly doubt that. I guess you never know, but... very unlikely.
I believe we are the mixed nuts.
Oh my!
I completely endorse this. Sauntering, I mean. Sashaying takes far more skill and finesse than a full belly would allow. One could equate sashaying with an exaggerated waddle.
Nope. Doesn't sound appetizing at all. That whole "squash" part needs to be replaced with, say... beef and cheese. And cover the whole thing in a nice marinara.
You sound just like my DW.
How often does carrot cake show up in your lounge?
Mind you, I haven't seen SNL in many years.
Kinda like that.
Well... poop! I loved the slider.
Hmmm.... Now that I don't remember. Bun wasn't soggy that I can recall. I wonder if you got one that had been sitting for a while.
I like the sound of the cake, but not the salad. I typically like my noodles hot.
Heard of that. Not sure if I want to try one since I'm not a beer fan at all... but... I also keep hearing that it doesn't taste like beer, so...
Now that looks delicious!!
Oh yes! Very subtle.
And yet, if you'd gone over and just sat down, he would've been forced to move those arms.
Wow! That looks... amazing!
Hmmm... Maybe I wouldn't care for it then. Not a fan of Grand Marnier or rum... and I think the "whipped cream vodka" might be too much?
MORE?!???!?
oooh! Can't wait to hear your thoughts on this place. Want to see it!
Actually... that's not all that bad. You had quite a bit and it's over two days...
I'm sure you'll find an opportunity at some point.
I have opinions on this, but perhaps best offscreen.
Looking forward to seeing those!
I discovered/tried a new one....
I first read that as "compensated".
A lot can happen in a year!
So that's what you look like when you equate sashaying with an exaggerated waddle? Accurate! That's exactly what I looked like, so maybe I CAN sashay after Food and Wine!
I like where that's going. Except I tried something like that in Italy last year and it was ho-hum.
Er, the servers weren't, but...
Only once so far...
this week.
I know you did. You had several? with Katie et al not long ago.
I've had cold noodle salad before and it's pretty good, but it was seasoned much better.
It's a gift.
Maybe, but I'm usually too shy or polite.
He’s lucky I was satiated and lazy, or my snarky, confrontational side might have gotten the better of me. Yes, I do have an occasional urge to sidle on up to blatant rudeness and nudge a realization with a well-timed remark or two. “Hey Dung Beetle, think there might be room for a few more people on this one and only bench in the shade on this very, very, very hot day?”
I think I'd do rum next time.
I think you'll like what I have to say!
Anyone else thinking: Thank God it’s Friday?!?!
Replies this weekend....
What’s y’all doin’?
The bun looks like a garden variety dinner roll from the supermarket. I'd expect something a bit more Food and Wine ish......Kalua Pork Slider with Sweet and Sour DOLE® Pineapple Chutney and Spicy Mayonnaise – $5.00
Cheesy pasta is life!No, not a unique to F&W offering, but a tasty old standby nonetheless. It was cold, refreshing and didn’t taste a lot like beer. Which by definition made it pretty good. A cup of courage safely stowed in my veins, I rallied and left in search of something that was (I hoped) a sure bet. I mean how can you go wrong with a hot dog and cheesy pasta. Seriously, if this disappointed me, I’d have contemplated heading to the nearest Urgent Care Center to have my vital signs checked.
I would be incredibly irritated.....but dessert has a way of making things better.And I was full. (And irritated.)
But not too full (or irritated) for dessert.
Because there is no such thing.
That's pretty much my mantra!always say, "there's no better remedy than booze and ice cream".
Ok, I said it once in EPCOT a couple of months ago, but I should say it more.
You did well!Total Spent over 2 days: $97.50 which included 5 drinks (one a flight)
I'm sure @franandaj would approve whole-heartedly.
Heard of that. Not sure if I want to try one since I'm not a beer fan at all... but... I also keep hearing that it doesn't taste like beer, so...
When we have a DIS meet at EPCOT you can order the beer and when you don't like it you can give it to me!
Too bad the ravioli didn't meet expectations. It does sound good. Although I must confess I've never eaten squash. Isn't that one of those vegetable things people keep talking about?
Mmmm....cheese, pasta, meat...sounds like my main food groups. While I did not have the F&W version, I have had the regular nudel gratin from the QS window in Germany. I enjoyed the taste, but there was something about the texture of cheese curds that I didn't really like.
By the way, I was so disappointed that my August trip finished 3 days before Food & Wine started. I could see the booths, I even saw CMs training in the F&W costume. I would have loved to stay a bit longer, but of course the girls had school starting and my bank account was telling me 10 days was enough.
Yeah, it's sad how inconsiderate some people can be. Is it just me, or is a little annoying there are so many people sittings at tables in that picture, but none have food. If I saw a table, part of my conscience would say it's only OK to sit and take up that spot as long as there is food and/or drink involved.
I really wanted to try this one but I ended up skipping it for some reason. I think by the time we got to the Germany booth I was full and we never made it back over that way again.
I probably would have plopped half a butt cheek on the bench next to him and forced him to move over. Well maybe not for me but I would have definitely approached if I was looking for a bench for my Mom. I'm a bit protective of her and am always looking for a shaded seat for her.
Yum! Love this martini! I tried it with chocolate ice cream and the whipped cream vodka which was really good. They are definitely strong though, I was flying for about a half hour afterwards! Definitely on the list for May.
Okay, I'm finally caught up. One complaint -- your index isn't up-to-date, but I found my way through the alphabetic chapters.
Wow, that ice cream martini looks really good. I almost never get mixed drinks at Disney though, I just can't get over the price tag on them. That one looks tempting.
Gotta say, I probably would've gotten that, too. Butternut squash is yummy if it is seasoned well. Otherwise, not so much.
I agree with pkondz that it was probably sitting too long. That would definitely account for mixed reviews - how long it had been sitting and getting soggy before serving.
Once our snow started melting, we had a bit of that! I had to go and rake over the weekend, after everything melted!
It was pretty early for us - I'm not used to it snowing in early November! At least it melted fairly quickly, tho it did hang out a few days in the shady areas. (And yes, I did design the garden so it would look good from inside, even over the winter.)
I can't remember the last time I even watched SNL. I can't stay up that late anymore.
I'm not surprised at the issue, though. Squash might be the most tasteless food on planet earth.
Now this I would have expected to be better. Sad.
That's an understatement! Still pretty sure it's the only way Julie found me attractive.
It took me a little while to figure out what this meant. I can't decide if I should condemn him for being selfish or if I should give him grace and figure that he was clueless about the image he was projecting and would have happily moved if someone had asked him to.
That's like 3 t-shirts in the gift shop, so you got a lot more value for your $$.
This thought crossed my mind too. People (like... me!) can be a bit clueless. Not deliberately trying to be a jerk, and happy to share the bench if someone were to ask, or simply sit.
I'll have to make sure I don't do this in the future. (Not sure if I've done it in the past... but maybe? Unconsciously?)
Personally, I would fall into the "clueless" camp. My only thought would be, "Oh, nobody's on the bench, I guess I'll sit here." No thought whatsoever would be given to how I sat on the bench, especially if I was exhausted from walking around a theme park all day. I'd give up space right away if somebody asked me.
I'm sure I've done this in the past, too, so it's something to keep in mind for the future. I didn't even know it was a thing.
There ya go, Liesa. Your TR has prevented two unwanted occurrences (and any future occurrences from said miscreants) of man-spreading from happening.
Omg that maple bourbon cheesecake was the BEST! My favorite dessert from the festival. You did really good in two days too!
Oh my what an imaginative title
Think I might of planted myself right down next to him.
Oh yum
