Kale and berry smoothie with flax seeds. Bet you're all super jealous!

Yes I am! It sounds delicious.

Is it wrong that when I read that all I could think of was "Fish Food"?

My sister had the No Way Jose and she left all of it. Only had two scoops. I was so mad at her for not even eating a quarter of it and then she asked me if I wanted some. But I couldn't. I had my own dessert.

This is you: "eat your ice cream sister!"
Sister: " No way Jose."

When they had the first baby I was really hoping for a girl and that they'd name her Victoria. Then we would have potentially had a Queen Victoria II.

Oh yes I forgot about Victoria. It will have to be a name with significance.

Wish I could have cheese...it's a lactose problem...I just dream about all those sundaes coming out of Ghiradelli's. Does anyone know if I can get a dairy substitute (ice cream) and where in Disney? Thanks for helping me out.

I think they have substitutes in Animal Kingdom

 

[seahawk7]

Nope they sure don't! Actually when I came back from my solo trip in March I had lost almost 5 pounds and I thought that I totally pigged out. Unfortunately those pounds have come back, maybe that means I should spend more time in WDW!

At Disneyworld most people walk an average 8 to 12 miles a day.

Please notice my new avatar, my husband did this for my 67 birthday, today....will be off until tomorrow, going to celebrate with the kids, and grandkids. Life is so good. Thanks for welcoming me into your family.

Happy Birthday!

Yes! I love That '70s Show! Kitty is my favorite.

She'd be a fun mom.

I've tried to offer the GF a variety of Disney Dining experiences - a couple of fancier meals, some romantic meals w/Ski, some fun, some characters .... How did I do?

And now I need COFFEE!!

 

[JenniferS]

Is the movie sound piped into the rooms?

Up here, the sound comes through a dedicated radio station - the signal usually extends a km or so away from the drive-in.

No.

I've been gone for a day and it looks like I have ten pages to catch up on.

Yesterday I was at a crawfish boil for my Grandmother's birthday. I'm not crazy about boiled crawfish, so I got a cheeseburger. I did eat a few crawfish but not much.

Happy birthday to your grandmother!

Oh my, I LUVS me some mudbugs...!!!
As I've posted before, my younger brother used to be a food expediter at a place down here called Pearl's Oyster Bar, years ago. They had a crawfish fettuccini dish on the menu. He would always make sure the chef put 2 helpings of crawfish tails in it for me...!

Oh yeah. That makes sense, duh. I guess I need another cup of tea to wake up more.

 

[Wrangler-Rick]

Yay, we have blooms!

 

[donaldtoo]

Do they taste like lobster? Never had crawfish, I'd be willing to help you eat some of those!

Not very far apart in taste and texture, to me anyway. Lobster just tastes a little more like the ocean.

It looks good. Have you tried the croissant berry bread pudding at Sunshine Seasons? Try it if you haven't when you go. Your selections were very thoughtful in regards to the GF.

 

[seahawk7]

That is one beautiful tree. What kind is it?

 

[donaldtoo]

You could get a Dole whip if you like pineapple. There isn't any dairy in that.

A little rum goes pretty good in them, though.

 

[MOXOMUMD]

Much like The Office didn't really work without Michael Scott, That 70's Show stunk without Eric.

So true!

 

[Wrangler-Rick]

I have no clue! It is always the first one to blossom here and it never fails, for the 8 years that we lived here, we always get a hard frost and all the buds fall off. We know it's some kind of fruit tree, but that's it. There is a cherry tree, an apple tree, and a pear tree nearby, but none of them are in bloom yet - I think they know better!
