Getting on Splash for the 3rd time and it looks like they got almost all the effects working now.

I'm glad you are having a great time. I love Splash, as it only has one hill.

You wouldn't be able to taste it at all. The other things will mask the flavor...just like...have you ever had carrot cake or zucchini bread? People think it sounds weird to put veggies in cake, but all it does is keep it moist because the veggies themselves don't have a very strong flavor, but they have a high water content. So it keeps the cake moist without overpowering the flavor.

my mother makes delicious carrot cake. But it still not mayo.

Happy belated birthday Betty! Cake looks yummy. Xoxo

Good to see you back online. I hope you get to enjoy your summer.

I had a friend who always used 1/3 cup of Bourbon in a chocolate cake mix, instead of using all water for the liquid component. Cake came out great and there was no "taste" of Bourbon--it just make the cake moist, similar to using mayonnaise.

I put cold coffee in my chocolate cake, for some of the liquid, it enhances the chocolate flavor.

I wonder how that happened.

I had half of one, that youngest DD couldn't finish, along with my Grey Goose Slushie back during out February trip. It was certainly tasty , but, coulda' used a bit more octane.

All Disney drinks are like that. But, I like them!

I use coffee in my chocolate cake. Very moist, but you can't taste it. I also substitute part of the oil and use applesauce. So if it calls for 1 cup of oil. I'll do 1/2 oil and 1/2 applesauce.

Thanks for sending the pictures. I love seeing DL, it looks like an awesome place. I wish we could have had a cars land.

 

[MOXOMUMD]

Me too! (Doing my best Beavis and Butthead imitation.)

That's awesome.

 

[betty rose]

I miss you guys, too! Going to try to ketchup a little, but hopefully everyone is doing well or at least on the mend.

Other than having to continue dealing with Mr Donkey's antics, life has been pretty good. Still trying to get back on track with furnishing the house and other to-do items, plus continuing to work through the emotional stuff. I'm still seeing the guy I told you about before, and it's going well, which is one of the reasons why I haven't been on here as much lately.

I'm so happy for you, that things are turning around.

In other news.. anyone can explain how to the deluxe room with Disney view in the Waldorf Astoria costs less than the Disney Swan and all other disney hotels right now ?
even cheaper than the Universal Deluxes!

seems crazy cheap!
