Wedge salads are very popular at high end steakhouses where everything is A la carte but they are not served with ranch dressing.

IKEA in their cafeteria sells a decent Wedge Salad. $1.75 and it has blue cheese dressing, crumbled blue cheese and crunched up fresh bacon. Tasty! :hungry:

You lost me at the blue cheese dressing part. It's not bad enough that you are talking about consuming a hand full of leaves, but, now you are including moldy cheese, that has an odor similar to a used baby diaper, to go with it. :depressed: Thanks, I'll pass. Just hand me the bacon! :)

I'm so glad we didn't book the Plaza. The chicken strawberry salad and turkey sandwich are both gone:(:(:(:(:( Last time I got a wonderful salad sans animal products with assorted greens, tomato and enough berries for a meal:) my dh loved the turkey sandwich not heavy but filling. The nice "fancy" salad has been replaced with a wedge salad with ranch dressing:grumpy::grumpy::grumpy::grumpy::grumpy:

I believe that Plaza is only accepting a few reservations and is mostly walk-ups now.

Their corn is from Twin Acres Farm and is picked and packed there the day before. It is about an hour due North of WoodField Mall.

Not everyone loves sweet corn. I don't like all types of corn either, some of it is just to starchy and not all that sweet.

And they have been at my local farmer's market since it started first week of June, with Mirai corn.o_O In the green mesh bags, so you can't really feel them. Now, personally, my favorite corn stand was along 67 in Wisconsin, through the Kettle Moraines. No one manned it, just a sign marked college fund, and it was on the honor system. Best. Corn. Ever.:hungry:

I love peaches, yellow and white. I have found over the years the freshest ones and very reasonable prices to come from Sam's Club.
Go figure. One of my BFF, I call her Mrs. GreenJeans, she taught me so much (as did my elderly neighbor a former orchard man) she buys their peaches from Sam's and makes the most wondrous Jam's and fruit salsa's. Her tomato and Zuk salsas are awesome too.
Yep I am drooling now.

I didn't realize you were not from Illinois. (you actually moved here? on purpose?) Where are you originally from?
Click to expand...
Ah, yes. I was young, and in love with the boy. Age old story. And so far, working out pretty good.

My family moved around a lot growing up, thanks to my Dad's job in sales, so I have lived in every region except South. The way DH talks, that might change in our retirement years. Started off in Jersey (hi, @figmentfan423 ), moved to California--15 minute drive to DL. Learned how to mini golf right across the street. Back to Jersey (hello, again, Figgy!). Then off to Michigan for a few (I mean 2) years, than on to Wisconsin (hi, @ajrwdwgirl. Hope you are having a great day!) And then, after college, he got a job here first, so per our agreement, I moved here. So, I have had a taste of life in a few places.

And speaking of taste--the peaches I get from R and B Farms at the market are just juice down your chin good! The only ones I have bought from an actual store that I like are the fancy packed ones at Trader Joe's. And you have to get those right away, because they sell out fast.

I wish that we could have done more character meals on our vacation, but the prices are just through the roof. So except for two character/special/birthday meals, we are just winging it the rest of the time. Gives me/us a chance to eat at some Quick Service places that I have not done before. Also, maybe I will finally get over to AOA, and eat in their food court. This will be my 4th time staying at Pop. The 1st time AOA wasn't there, but the last two times, I visited AOA, but I did not eat there. I want to do that on this trip. Our trip is not overplayed, so we should have a lot of opportunities to do that.

I don't want to think about our food bill for this trip. 11 ADRS, 3 of which are character:eek::eek::eek::eek: The only good thing is Disney may lose money at those with my boys hitting the buffets:D

My dad and I plan the trip together now. Back when I was a kid, he did all of the planning, but he now shares the responsibility with me. He basically lets me do all of the FP+ reservations after he found out at the end of one of our trips that I went in the system and changed everything around. And when during one of our trips, he and my mom were fighting with the MDE app to change a FP, I quickly changed them around on my computer to what they wanted...while they were still fighting with it. My dad just tells me where our dining reservation is and lets me change it. He also asks for our input when planning, which is nice.

A few years ago I took my long-time friend with me to WDW. She let me handle the planning and just went along with it. Now I'm taking the same friend to Disneyland, and she's basically just letting me plan it and going along with it. I guess she figured it worked out the last time, so she'll let me do the same thing this time.

That's great, we only plan one ride, or two a day. With the less popular rides. Seems to work , with all of our breaks, and meals!

I hate ranch dressing, only because it has buttermilk in it.:hungover:

Why, what's the connection to kidney stones? They never told me to cut back and they knew that I was an Iced Tea freak. Puzzled!! :bookworm::confused:o_O Don't kidney stones require some kind of calcium to form? I don't know of anything in tea except the 99.5% water that seems like it should be beneficial to keep stones away.
Click to expand...
It causes oxilates to form, think of little crystals, that will build up and make a stone. The substance is caused by calcium oxillate, I have to avoid, berries, oats, and dark greens. I get calcium oxilate stones. Different from just calcium stones. The oxalate's are sticky and scratch when they come out. They are irritating. Where you don't want it!:eek::in pain:;)

I am back from the doctor. Thankfully, I did not receive any earth shattering news. I wasn't happy when I asked the doctor if he had looked at my X-ray, and he said, "What Xray?" He then left the examining room, and had my X-ray on a laptop computer. He showed me my bone spur, and said that that is not causing my pain. He actually could not pinpoint the reason for the pain that I was having. Basically, I injured my foot by overdoing, and I need to rest it, and ice it, as much as I can. He did not say anything about pain medication, but I haven't been taking anything stronger than maybe one advil gelcap a day anyway. Bottom line, I got a better pair of insoles, for my shoes, from the doctor, and I have to see him again in three weeks.

It is good to know that I don't need any kind of surgery, and a cortisone shot would not help me at all he said. Did I waste my time going to the doctor. No. It's good to know what I don't have, and don't need. Now some good old common sense will help me along the way, and see how I feel in three weeks.

I'm glad to hear it wasn't anything too serious.
