I generally like all pizza too, except anchovies. No fish on mine, please.

Yum, I'll take your anchovies!

 

[catmom46]

I agree, no anchovies! Fish are friends not food.... I will skip the mushrooms and olives too.

And I'll take your mushrooms and olives, thank you very much!

 

[catmom46]

I agree 100%! I love rice crispy treats, but my husband calls them styrofoam cookies. He thinks they are awful.

Here are some food and wine foods for you all!
My favorite of the festival, and it really wasn't on the want to try list....South Korea, the bbq short ribs


Africa: both were good. Berbere steak (spicy) and butter chicken (mild in spicy but interesting)


A look at the construction in Norway


The cranberry bog


the nitro chocolate truffle (good, but gave me brain freeze)


From my Swan balcony (we were really diggin' the Swan and would go back in a heartbeat)


Dinner plate at the Biergarten. I love the sauerbraten, the polka band, and my Oktoberfest beer here.




France had the Eiffel tower lit up in honor of those lost in the Paris attacks.


Back at the Osborne lights

Fabulous - I love the close-up perspective of # 17.

 

[catmom46]

Fish on pizza? Nope.

Much as I like steamed crab, it does not belong in my pizza.

No crab for me, but shrimp sounds yummy!

We ended the night at the Magic Kingdom

So, my job has all these volunteer events that we are asked to attend, and I did this one last week at a girl's school in Queens. When I signed up, I didn't realize that I was basically going to have to stand up in front of kids and teach a class. I had to wake up at 6:45 in order to be there by 8:45, and I was dreading the entire thing. But it was amazing. These girls were so awesome. We had to do three hours, and it was basically go to three classrooms and tell these girls about your job. I had a sixth grade class, a ninth grade class and a seventh grade class. The sixth and seventh were amazing. The ninth was a rough audience, I'm just saying. But this was incredibly rewarding. Our job was to inspire them. I don't know if I did that, but I hope so. I used a lot of Disney jargon, actually. "You can do anything you put your mind to.....anything your heart desires will come to you....etc, etc." As a fairly cynical New Yorker, I don't know if any of that is really true, but I hope it can be for these great girls. Here is a pic of the event.

that explains the deep dish recipe..

"Yo man!, I think this Pizza lacks something.. How about we go full Texan on it and add halluva lots of sauce and filling? 'cause "everything is bigger in texas"

 

[ajrwdwgirl]

Opps, I was going to do a few more Osborne pics from the second night...Here ya go!










The peace on earth was a little extra special that night, since it was following the Paris attacks.

 

[donaldtoo]

I am like you. I like a variety of types. It's interesting though because I tend to crave heavier beers like porters and stouts or the complete other extreme like pale lagers.

I have heard of the beer you pictured. I remember the story about the monks. But I have yet to try it.

Yep, you need to try the Chimay Grand Reserve soon. To me anyway, it's some kinda' exquisite nectar of the gods...!

 

[donaldtoo]

I guess that just means that I have to finally get myself to Texas. There are lots of reasons to visit but here is one more. Texas sounds delicious.

Yep, delicious indeed...!

So anyone know what one of these lollipops will cost at the new (high end)Ganachery, Disney Springs? Me loves some chocolate.

 

[donaldtoo]

OK gang, I'm settin' like the sun...
Sweet Disney dreams to all...!
See y'alllllllllll...!!!

Hubby is the photographer in the family, he was very impressed with all of your photo's!. Me too!

tell him "thank you" from my part :>

 

[Gabe1]

I think your picture is pretty with the sunlight on the snow. By the way, I heard on the news this morning that your temps out in that area are supposed to get up to 50 later on this week, so the snow will probably melt.

Yes! 55 for Thanksgiving with rain. Today I pull a solid 5 foot 3x3 ice block out of my gutter so the downspouts stopped jamming up. I planted it upright on a snowmound.

I hate to admit it but with this being a very heavy snow it stuck beautifully in the trees and landscaping. Sadly my Mums and Palms are dead. Sadness.

It is freak'n 11:02 and Walt, my Dear Pup is dropping a tennis ball, picking it up and dropping it again at my bedroom door. He must have heard my head rest on the pillow. Usually he does this when I'm trying to prepare dinner.

 

[Gabe1]

It is similar in taste to pecan pie. It comes from our French heritage. It is basically brown sugar, butter, and cream in a single crust. Sooooo good.

Sounds lovely. I can feel my teeth hurting just drooling over it.
