Captain’s Mai Tai
I'm not going until September 23rd, 67 days I believe. But, I'll be more than willing to get as many recipes as I can. The only places I know I'm eating at for sure is ASMu (that's where we're staying so we'll eat at the food court some), I always eat at least once at San Angles (is that the right name? i'm having memory loss!), the French pastry shop and the Poly. But, I've been several times so this year is really more of a chance to experience food, drinks and other things so I'll be trying plenty of food! Also, I'm going during the Food & Wine festival. Don't know if they give out the recipes for food from that but if so I'll ask!
*Any requests?*
I'm envious of you because I'd love to go to the Food and Wine Festival one of these years. The problem is, I can never get off work during that time - unless I take an unpaid leave of absence. Not something I can really afford to do. The least I order the cookbook and try out the recipes. I'm out of town from August 8 till September 27 but plan to buy a laptop - so will have computer access. I'll send a message before you leave with some recipe requests.
