Some pictures from Joshua Tree National Park today. And my lunch at Del Taco, it was pretty tasty.

That sign is an eye opener. One of the Harry Potter actors died in Death Valley sadly because he may not have followed those rules.

Good morning @dead you're late the beans are already cooling and a chutney is on the stove. Still looking to trade lol

I think I asked this before, but what time do you go to sleep?

He thought there were just too many people and felt like he couldn’t get away from them. Like the pool was a nightmare. He loved Castaway Cay because he felt he could breathe again. I will say he hated the dining set up on DCL. He would have preferred a buffet for each meal.

To each his own. At least you respect his preferences. Not everyone is a fan of a cruise, or even WDW. Hubs won't go to WDW--just not his scene. Lot of other vacation experiences we can share together.

Don't forget to say "sowry" a lot!

Yep and “eh”. I used to watch “You Can’t Do That on Television”,when it was on Nick. I noticed those kids said “out” differently too.

haha... well ya never know!

I haven't seen anything new about how WDW intends to handled star wars crowds yet?

I believe it's called keeping fingers crossed and prayers

 

[Figgy1]

I try for 8ish. I said try lol

The apple raisin chutney is cooling

The boys are sleeping in so I got a couple if food pics. The salsa is chopped View attachment 383631 everything is chopped for the pineapple salsaView attachment 383632

Hmmm. You are probably just 3 plus hours from me. Lunch?

 

[MinnieM123]

Thanks... back to reality! No more sitting with a bunch of people knitting, eating, and chatting all day.

Curious -- did you actually get any knitting done? (If so, what your making? Also, do you knit a few things each year for Christmas gifts, or do you knit for yourself and hubs? I realize that knitting takes a lot of time, and it's hard when you're also working, etc., to find enough time for a hobby.)

Do you eat that by itself, like a side dish? Or does that go over something? I'm not familiar with chutney.

 

[MySmallWorldof4]

OMG--compelling.

And that very last image ... wow.

Amazing wasn’t it. I am glad that that was all saved. Sometimes people want to destroy historical things because of bad memories. I say keep it and learn from it.

Oh wait! Biggest hubbub was the AP price increase last week.

 

[MySmallWorldof4]

Ok. Makes sense. I try for 9 at the latest.

No prob

It's a side dish. Today the chutneys are being served with red pepper hummus, falafel loaf, tangerine rice, naan, a couple of different marinated veggies and salad. I had better not have to cook tomorrow lol

 

[Goofyernmost]

Even though your passport will say otherwise...?!

In customs sure, but, I don't recall showing my passport to the general public. Anyone can be Canadian, eh!

 

[Goofyernmost]

OK... I give on trying to catch up.... so did I miss anything profound?

Only that I get better looking every day, but, that probably doesn't show through online!

 

[Goofyernmost]

That Yorkshire pudding looks a bit odd, did it taste okay?

Seems just a tad over cooked, but, not awful.

That is a good thought, but, most of the people that actually had bad memories of that are now gone and a couple of generations that now have a turn in making decisions like that do not have the deep experience to understand the significance of saving it. Partially why the "deniers" are so vocal these days and evil can be forgotten because it was never experienced by them before. Kind of explains how unconcerned the population seems about things that should be sending out alarms.

Good to know and I will try it, if I need to order online again. My only hesitation was that the code referenced "first time customer" only. But heck, I'll still give it a try, if I order again.

By the way, everything was really fresh (veggies, berries, dairy, etc.). I'm munching on chocolate chip mini-muffins now. Yum!

Sounds like the food delivery was a positive experience. Hopefully you can use the coupon next time.

It’s probably on par, maybe a bit more expensive, with our Two week WDW trip last year.

I would agree. We spent a whole lot more going two weeks out west than at Disney.
