have you ever had something and disney and tried to make it at home?

[fizzle75]

The only real problem I've ever had duplicating a recipe was the potatoes from Ohana. I've made scalloped potatoes many times and that is the first time they ever became grainy and clumpy. :shrug:

I do the LTT flank steak all the time and many others as well.
Fizzle, what is the problem with the fettuccine?

If memory serves me correctly(it's been quite some time since she tried to make it), it is a butter based sauce and for some reason when my wife makes it it just comes out all greasy and clumpy. :shrug:

I make the Mickey Head pancakes too and also I make the carrot soup that we had at Boma. Love that soup! I have never tried anything else though......:slurp:

I'm not a big soup eater, unless it's of the thick n' hearty variety, but man oh man...that soup is amazing!:slurp:

To heck with the bowl, just give me a pitcher and a straw and I'll drink the stuff!:lol:



edit- I STILL want to know how Jimbo knows what clogged disposal water tastes like!

I remember this recipe. It stands out in my mind because I bellieve I remember that it did not have any heavy cream in it. If you would like the advice of a New York Italian, use about a half a pint of heavy cream and about a quarter stick of butter. Pinch of salt, dash of pepper. Once that gets to boiling, reduce to a simmer for about a minute and add the pasta. This is enough sauce for about 10-12oz. of Pasta. You should get a nice thick and creamy Alfredo.:slurp:

Quesos Fundidos

Back in the 80s we used to eat every year at the San Angel Inn and we loved the Quesos Fundidos. My Dad decided to give it a try at home and he did a great job, so periodically we'd have EPCOT theme nights and enjoy some tasty Quesos Fundidos. I don't know exactly how he did it. I have been saddened to see that was no longer on the menu on my last few visits.

Yep, it is a total bummer that they no longer have the Queso Fundido.
We have a couple old WDW recipe books and fortunately the Queso Fundido recipe is in there, which we've made a couple of times, still not as good as it used to be. We also like making the Crystal Palace's puffed french toast which is also in the book.

I don't know....something about having that stuff at home takes away from having it when I get there.

That's probably weird.

It's not exactly making it... but when Ohana had the pineapple you could dip in caramel, I came home bought the pineapple, bought the caramel. Love it! Wish they'd bring it back to Ohana.

Back in the '90s my brother and I loved the puffed french toast from Crystal Palace so much, we tracked down a recipe for it in some Disney cookbook. We made it a few times and it was pretty good.

I'm not sure if they still have it on the buffet at Crystal Palace though.

I made the Pop Centrury Fried Chicken last night and I thought it came out pretty good.

Then she did not whisk the sauce until the melted cheese and butter became cream consistency. It takes a bit of muscle and time

The recipe is in our thread.

After he had the Banana Bread Pudding at the Toll House Bakery on Main Street USA, my hubby sent me on a mission to find the recipe. I located it on AllEars.net and have made it twice. It's amazing warm with vanilla ice cream.

Though not a good cook by any stretch of the imagination (or even a cook, for that matter), I did make an attempt at the Brewat Rolls from Restaurant Marrakesh--the flavor was good but I completely messed up the frying bit. Oh well, one more reason to go back! :animwink:
