09/18/11 - DVCers Take Over the Dream (S.S. Member Cruise 2011) - Thread #5

It's a good movie. I liked it. It pays homage to the original yet tells the story a little differently. There are a few plot holes though. The biggest is... If you can't find a job in the USA, is packing your bags and spending $1000s of dollars on airfare to move to China to work for pay that is notorious for being pennies on the dollar per hour here a good career move?

No kidding, right? Biggest problem with this movie ... no Ralph Macchio ...

Well, there is no way I'm running this up to 400. I'm going to bed. Goodnight Karen!

I'm sure everyone will thank you in the morning! G'nite!!

In response to Karen & Junior's breakfast discussion: Generally I cook an egg every day for Laran and make an egg sandwich for myself. Here's my procedure.

Cook a half pound of lean bacon (refrigerate extra for future days)
Start eggs on low heat, breaking yolk, in bacon grease (no need to salt & pepper, think of it as recycling)
Note: I usually bring eggs to room temp before cooking and cook on low to eliminate the crunchy edges
Begin toast (preferrably a hand crafted bread such as white sourdough)
Flip eggs and add cheese
Butter toast with real butter (stored at room temperature, the way grandma did)
Assemble sandwich
Eat an extra piece of toast allowing sandwich to cool, then enjoy sandwich with your favorite breakfast beverage

The trick, like Junior said, is to get just the right quantities of each ingredient such that every flavor is tasted and none are overpowering. Bread cut slightly thick and well buttered, a mild white cheddar cut medium thick (off the end), and medium cut bacon are working quite well here.

I never tried mayo or other meats. Sounds interesting though ... might have to experiment a little.

I like mayo too. There is a time and place for each though. Deb dips her fries in mayo. I like to mix mayo and ketchup together and dip my fries.

Not a fan of Miracle Whip, Wally loves it though. I do love may and especially french fries dipped in mayo...yuuuuummm.

My must haves are

1. A Mickey Bar
2. A Dole Whip

[W@LL-E]

DOLE WHIP, DOLE WHIP, DOLE WHIP...Happy Friday Everyone

 

[TIGGERmetoo]

I go to be early 1 nite and I have 5 pages to go through in the morning. TGIF and it's not too busy at work.

Me too! Being an only child sucks! My sons would disagree with that statement though.

Sounds like me and my boys.

I love cooking breakfast! I make biscuits, gravy, sausage and eggs and mix it all together. Sometimes I make balogna, or spam, on toast with Miricle Whip, American cheese and a fried egg. That is a great sandwich. Yes! I'm a hill-billy!

I love fried egg and bologna sandwiches but I use mayo instead of Miracle Whip and sometimes add a slice of cheddar cheese. Had one of these last Tuesday for supper. Yum. DH won't touch it.

I like mayo too. There is a time and place for each though. Deb dips her fries in mayo. I like to mix mayo and ketchup together and dip my fries.

I like my fries with mayo too - also tartar sauce!

To expand upon that, DVC will let us know the Sail Date on the cruise
then we will be sent a notice after we get home of the date to call in, as a reminder you need to start calling first thing in the am... it does book quickley...

I so do hope this help......................

The only way to do that is if they offer it as an incentive to add on LOTS of points to your membership.

You're not kidding! It's like this:

1) You need to be up at the break of dawn, have someone watch the kids, have 5 pots o'coffee ready for the turmoil...

2) Start calling right o'way...Using 2 phones, my cell and the house phone, rotate to keep the battery charged...In my case, it was 4:55 am PST

3) Finally got through at 11:30 am...wait another 1 1/2 hours....

4) A voice! A voice! I had a human being TALK TO ME at 1:00 pm...

5) By 1:30 pm, I had a 4C booked. Veranda. beat. tiered. Luckily, that was my limit. The Disney spirits were good to me. I'm very happy because there are many nice people going on the cruise...Diser's...

6) Tried calling today to see what's availble since the new itineraries are out. Hawaii. sold out. Alaska and the Fantasy wide open! Maybe I'll wait intil Sept. to book our next cruise, by then, I'll be a CC and silver member! Gotta love the bucket list!

To john.
White sourdough bread!!! I love sourdough! I like making multiple cheese blend grilled cheese sandwich on real buttered thicker sliced sourdough bread. It's sooooooo good!

I also like soup in a sourdough bread bowl. The first time I had it was in San Francisco and I fell in love. Penara bread has a good sourdough and so does Disney's California Adventure.

Ok, I'm ready for dinner! Hope Deb hurries home!
