Are you talking about a stain that I see? My dd11 spilled tomato sauce on a light pink dress. I had it scrubbed with detergent within an hour. I had it sit for a day. Washed it and you can still see some remnant of a stain. I have it scrubbed again and sitting again. I hate tomato stains and chocolate stains. I use ALL as well, and it usually works better than it did.
The mistake was making it in the first place as for the stain it happened after blueberry picking. Blueberries, kids hot car long drive, it never came out:(:banghead:

Just waiting for touring plans to update... it's got to be hard for them.. because there is no scale in which to compare this to. And with SW only partially opening, I have to wonder how many will wait for the entire land to open before coming.
TP did a video not too long ago saying figuring out SWL will be almost impossible for quite a while after it opens.

When I buy jarred, I like Newman's Marinara. Almost tastes like mine. So, if you buy it and use it, you can imagine yourself eating your pasta in my house. ;)
Everyone has a different taste in that kind of stuff. When I was in College, I worked part time in a place where one of the bosses was as Italian as one could get. His parents immigrated from Sicily. He gave me his family recipe for his sauce direct from his family. This came with instructions that would rival that of disarming a bomb. It had everything in it... Pork Chops, Italian Sausage, Homemade Meat Balls (recipe for that also) peppers, onions, garlic, Oregano, etc. The instructions said to use only authentic Italy grown (canned) tomatoes, and tomato past even to what local store to buy the ingredients from. It had to simmer on the stove for 8 hours so I made large batches at a time and froze a lot of it. The flavor was great, but, really not worth massive effort it took to make it.

It doesn't really matter anymore because I lost the recipe in the divorce. Not out of spite but no one really thought about it at the time. When she became unable to cook for herself, she gave the recipe box to our oldest daughter. However, apparently sometime between our split up and the recipe box acquisition, it was deported or something, as it was never found. I never really even thought about it until a couple years ago when I had plenty of time to make it again by then it was just something that used to be.

To quote Mary Poppins in Mary Poppins Returns... It's just gone to the place where the lost things go! Beautiful song, by the way.

My gravy recipe is similar to that except neck bones instead of chops and braciola is almost always in it. No where near as bad as disarming a bomb but warm pot, evoo, onions finely minced......…. adding one ingredient at a time. Yup 8 hours

They have. But, I hate what they have done with the food! We used to have it all figured out before we got there. Last trip, DD couldn't even get her preflight McDonalds. She was bummed, as it is the only time we get anything from there. Lalo's, gone. We ended up with sorta okay from some no name Italian vendor. The place that replaced Lalo's looks sketchy, and same with the sushi place. A lot of others agreed. The only place with a line was Dunkin' Donuts.

I agree with that... although we did get some good tuna tacos from some random place .. I forget which concourse we were on. And one night I walked all the way down to the middle food court thing... but nothing was really "fast" food. In the end we got a couple gyros... but I agree.... the lack of fast food choices, when people need speedy food in the airport is bad!

What crowd calendars are you guys using? Touring plans still shows completely manageable crowds for the September trip and wondering if they haven't updated it after the Star Wars news
and speaking of Touring plans updating.. they did today.. but I'm guessing that's a major guestimate!

A quote from their blog, "The crowd levels on the crowd calendars are for the non-Galaxy’s Edge areas."

Honestly, my first trip to WDW was Christmas week. So I feel... prepared. Maybe we'll get lucky and the kid will be tall enough to ride the new ride.

ETA she totally is!! Says on the Disney page that it's 38" and up, lol, and she's 42.5"!! So maybe we'll get lucky and get a FP

Seriously! I am walking around outside, still long sleeves, but my winter coat is unzipped, because I am too warm.
36 degrees F. That should say something about how this winter has been.
Close to 60 and sunny here. All the snow is gone now. Kids are out in the sun playing. I actually went outside with just a sweatshirt!

It's cooler today. Yesterday it hit 74 degrees, today didn't get higher the 65 degrees. I was wearing shorts and T-shirt. Sorry...? not sorry! That's why I moved down here from Vermont. It has been unseasonably cold down here this winter with lots of rain. Nasty, but, much better then snow and ice.
