cabin fever

[wallyb]

So guess who had Paul all alone - in a cabin - in the Maine Woods and
:banana: Talked him into adding 2 WDW Poly concierge days
on to our DCL trip! :woohoo:

I won't elaborate on the convincing technique.
Just a little something I leaned in Amsterdam.
:rolleyes1

That was Mike's hand. I was too busy chatting up Max, the cute waiter. ;)

[starann]

Aren't you a lucky guy!!!! A cruise AND concg.level for 2 nights!!!!!

I have to convince him to return to the poly, he wants to try a different resort next trip ( gasp!!)

[wallyb]

Why thank you.
Someone with manners :flower3:

Not for a long time - February.
That should give Rob and Mike plenty of time to come up
with some excuse not to come to dinner or drinks.
We have a trip to New Orleans before that - our first.

This is true, this Spring is all black electrical tape :scared1:

[rosiep]

Your going to have to show me that technique again...I tried it on James and he took me to Walmart! :confused3

[kingLouiethe1]

Your going to have to show me that technique again...I tried it on James and he took me to Walmart! :confused3

Maybe he felt you didn't use enough cream cheese?

[rosiep]

Maybe he felt you didn't use enough cream cheese?

I used cottage cheese..it was all I had in the house...

[kingLouiethe1]

You can't "poor man" your way through this technique, no substitutions. Except for the minor in engineering, that can be replaced with a tax course from H&R Block.

[ConcKahuna]

Cant say I blame him then :crazy:

What days of the week will you be here? I've got to make sure my schedule matches ;)

[wallyb]

So I guess it would be the night of the Feb. 4th and the 5th -
the cruise starts on the 6th.

I'll confirm with Paul - I'm bad with Dates.

[OrlandoMike]

[rpmdfw]

[rpmdfw]

It's not my Grandma's recipe, but here's a recipe for date bars that looks really good!


Ingredients
For the filling:
3 cups coarsely chopped dates
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 1/2 cups water
For the crust and topping:
1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1 3/4 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) very cold butter, cut into small cubes
Directions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

In a nonreactive medium saucepan over low heat, combine dates, granulated sugar, and water. Cook, stirring constantly, until thickened, about 15 minutes. Cool completely. In a large bowl or bowl of an electric mixer, place brown sugar, flour, baking soda, salt, and oats. Mix on low speed until combined. While mixer is running, add butter, 1 piece or 2 at a time. Mix until crumb like, with some lumps of butter no larger than pea size.

Using your hands, press and flatten half of crumb mixture into a greased 9 by 13-inch pan. Spread cooled filling over crust. Cover with remaining crumb mixture, patting lightly. Bake until lightly browned, 25 to 35 minutes. Cool slightly and cut into bars while still in the pan. Gently remove cut bars from pan. Serve warm or at room temperature. Date bars, stored in an airtight container, refrigerate and freeze well.


And here's Giada de Laurentis's recipe for cheese stuffed dates with prosciutto! Wow, do these ever look yummy! And they call for goat cheese! FINALLY that durned goat is coming in handy!

Ingredients
1/4 cup (2 ounces) goat cheese, at room temperature
1/4 cup (2 ounces) mascarpone cheese, a room temperature
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh basil leaves
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
16 Medjool dates (12 ounces), pitted
8 thin slices prosciutto, halved lengthwise
Directions
Special equipment: 16 toothpicks or cocktail picks

In a small bowl, mix together the cheeses and basil and season with salt and pepper, to taste.

Gently pull the dates apart and stuff with about 1/2 teaspoon of the cheese mixture. Close the dates around the filling. Wrap a piece of prosciutto around each date and secure with a toothpick.

Arrange the stuffed dates on a platter and serve.

You're gonna buy me a drink!

Well why didn't you say so.

And if Jamie and Wally buy me drinks, too, that's THREE drinks!

Which is about what I'd need to get through it.

Sounds like a plan to me!

:thumbsup2

[rpmdfw]

Not if I give you the wrong address!

So meeting us is advantageous. :flower3:

Well, I WAS thinking that if Scott was amenable that our humble little abode might be a good meeting location.

But now that you've put it THAT way . . .

You're right. It's best that y'all stay far away.

Especially since you've already threatened to kick my dog! :scared:

So, it's now a Wally, Jamie, and Rob get together, is it? Because it seems to me that Rosie just univited herself.

I own that movie. On the DVD special features, you can put on commentary by the actress who stars in the movie. I love listening to it: she's a legend in her own mind. The whole commentary is "And here's where I did my hair in bangs for the scene where I run away so you can see my eyes," and "The pointy teeth on the tiki were my idea!" :rotfl:
