Yum! I love sprouts roasted with a little lemon juice and oil.

Yum...there's a restaurant here that does them in I think olive oil and with little pieces of bacon. Soooooo good. I love sprouts. And the American Masterchef winner....Whitney? I got a recipe from her facebook page I think...it had cream cheese with minced garlic and you cut a cross into the top half of the sprout (blanched), pipe some of the cream cheese mixture in there, and wrap it in bacon and bake them in the oven for just a few minutes. They are fantastic for something different once in a while.

Here's a link to the bacon-wrapped ones, if you're interested: http://whitneymiller.net/uncategorized/bacon-wrapped-stuffed-brussel-sprouts/

I was subjected to 3nights worth of Girl Meets World last night it seems like all of my younger ds' female friends are into that show.

I actually like that, which is good because DD is really into it, too. It's soooo much better than some of the other shows they like. There are some I can't stand!

I haven't been there for years. The boys are more interested in food, rather than characters. I'm excited for the Frozen update too. I don't have burn out, as I only saw the movie, about two years after it was released. I'm a little slow!

I love Frozen, BUT, I'm upset that they took out Maelstrom. It doesn't make sense to me. I loved Maelstrom, but aside from that, all the world showcase things are related to that particular country, not one of the movies. I thought the point of the showcase was to give people a taste of the culture of each of those countries, so a Frozen ride doesn't seem to match that intent.

I like my mashed potatoes with real potatoes and cashew milk

I never have been able to get into the almond or cashew milk. It's all my hubby drinks because he's lactose intolerant and he prefers it. Says it's delicious. I think it tastes like cloudy water.

Oh I feel your pain. I have to leave the room when that's on...and I am able to endure a lot of weird preteen stuff. I loved Boy Meets World as a child but this doesn't seem at all like the same thing.

I'm down to 273 days and 18 3/4 hours until I leave for Disney! I'm under 100 until ADRs begin The countdown started at over 400 days

Woot woot! I would be excited too!!

 

[French Quarter]

I really excited for Rivers of Light and the Frozen update in Norway. The boys are once again rethinking our ADR list. Has anybody been to CP recently for lunch or dinner? That may be on the chopping block

ADRs are tricky, aren't they? Every time I think I decide what I want, I come up with a new idea or something else sounds good. I'm always juggling until they are actually made.

My little guy is at Beavers and, lucky for me, it's in the same building as my office. Gives me a free hour to sit and relax. So that is what I'm doing!

Wednesdays are our special day together. This afternoon he chose to go to Quizno's for lunch and the board game cafe afterward for fun. We had a great time playing all kinds of things. Ended up buying a board game with a great name - Hey, that's my Fish!

I guess lamb is not supposed to smell or taste really gamey. Good to know.

Not at all. Lamb is supposed to be delicate as it is a young, farmed animal. Now, mutton on the other hand!! Tough as shoe leather and smells to the high heavens...at least in my experience.

Mark me down as one of those who is excited for Frozen too. But I don't have burnout either. None of my kids are obsessed with it. I always get excited about new attractions!

Time to go head out and look at the leaves. Later

This time of year truly is magical, isn't it, with all the coloured leaves? Other than the fact that it's getting colder, I love it!

Just steam a bunch of cauliflower chunks until soft, put in food processor, add milk or cream, butter, spices, and whirl until smooth!

That sounds amazing. I never thought I would be craving cauliflower!

What is cinnamon good for? I love cinnamon and put lots on my high protein cereal in the morning.

This has probably been answered (I'm behind) but cinnamon helps with inflammation.

I hate all of those mentioned.Would rather just talk to someones face

Me too! I'm fine with email or text but would rather in person. I find the phone awkward. I'm always accidentally talking over people or leaving big pauses because I'm not realizing it's my turn to talk. I also can never tell emotion or tone. Everyone just sounds formal to me.

 

[French Quarter]

Technically you do that with FaceTime (hence the name).

It's not the same though because I end up having to look at my own face and I find it distracting. I know...I have issues.

Oh, goodness....I guess the thunderstorms, kept me awake too long last night. My apology's . Maybe I should nap earlier today. ha,

I was up half the night because my darn migraine came back. The doc gave me a good prescription for 500 mil naproxen that is keeping the pain level down, which is great, except I'm worried that I will have to take a pain pill every 12 hours for the rest of time!

"time to go solo" Bonus points for whoever gets the reference first

Ice, Ice, Baby...of course!

(Apologies if someone already got this. I'm playing ketchup.)

theres new comic series based on them too.
But Jem the movie doesnt look anything like the comic or cartoon

For real!! I love comics too. This is my lucky week.

No, the movie seems to reinvent the story but I'm cool with that. Still think I will love it.

I like almond milk, rice is too sweet, but soy is still my favorite.
