Hi Heather! Welcome to the party ... the more the merrier!

When you know your dates please let me know and I will add you to the growing list of foodie friendies who will be visiting the world during F&W. That way if you'd like to meet up with anyone you'll know when they will be there. If you're going to be at WDW on the 17th come to the BCV around 9:30 that night and share some birthday cake with us!

Yep, I'm taking Valtrex and I was definitely embarrassed at Walgreens when filling the prescription but then I thought ... Bah, they've undoubtedly filled worse than this and do I look like I have VD???

Sorry you weren't able to take pain meds ... they have really helped a lot this week, especially at work.

Hi all.....my name is Heather and I'm a long time lurker on what seems like's everyone here's reports. I just came across this thread while re-reading Brenda's F&W review from last year and was immediately sucked in!

DH and I will be spending a few days at the F&W fest in October (we will be celebrating our 10 year anniversary......but just a few months late). It's our first trip during F&W and I am currently spending every spare minute (and quite a few minutes when I should be doing something else) planning our trip, so I am hoping to pick up lots of info from all of you F&W veterans.

Brenda, I had shingles two years ago, and I feel your pain! I had to stick to Advil for the pain though, as the prescription pills they gave me made me so sick to my stomach. And did they give you Valtrex as well? I'll tell you, I've never been so embarrassed filling a prescription as I was that day! All I could think of was the girl in that commercial telling everyone how she takes Valtrex so her boyfriend doesn't get her herpes!

Thanks for the warm welcome....I have to say that you guys are a pretty intimidating lot....I feel like I'm chatting with DIS board royalty!

Brenda, we will be arriving the morning of 10/25 and leaving the evening of 10/29 so we will miss the meet. We wish it could be a longer trip, but I can only impose on my darling sister-in-law's gracious offer to take care of my rugrats for so long without ruining my chances of ever having free babysitting again! And we're planning a family trip for next June which will be a 10 day trip, so I guess I can't be too upset.

Too bad we won't get to meet you but we'll surely have a lot of fun planning together!

please don't be intimidated ... none of us here would want that. And for royalty ... well, I can't speak for anyone else but I belch and fart too much to be considered regal.

I'll add you to the list just so you can see who's where when. I think your dates may overlap with Nicki's. And definitely plan all you want here - there are a lot of F&W veterans here and between all of us we can probably answer just about any question you'd have.

Just caught up on your blog Sounds pretty good! I'm with ya on the oysters

If anyone wants to see some pics and read about my trip/cruise, I've got some of it up on my blog (link in signature) Warning: I am not a writer, I am not talented like Bendy ; but maybe you'll enjoy it anyways

Haven't read it all but you are very good my friend!!!!!!

 

[madameleota71]

I love it! I just made this my wallpaper!

 

[Tink rules]

See? You're just as warped as we are...

 

[teruterubouzu]

So this is what you meant by join us on the community board. I have rarely ventured into these parts. Sorry to read that you've been ill, but glad it's left your humor intact!

Sad but true!

Hey y'all.....been super busy, haven't read back to check on everyone yet. Today is DH's birthday and his requested dessert was White Chocolate Bread Pudding, super easy and good.....

Thanks for the recipe! I've never had bread pudding before and this recipe looks YUM! Hope your hubby had a great day!

Welcome Heather!

And am feeling better still today ... the rash (ick) is a lot less angry, appears to have stopped spreading, and doesn't itch / burn nearly as much as it had been. Have only taken two pain pills all day, which is also a small victory. We'll see what happens once I go back to the office tomorrow but I'm hopeful that the worst is behind us.

Glad to hear you're feeling a bit better Brenda!

stayed up to be online as soon as the Food Network Wine and Food Festival events went on sale - with taxes and handling charges they are REALLY expensive so I signed up for the three I wanted most.

Culinary Demonstration with Alton Brown 10/11
Sushi Rolling Class at Morimoto 10/10
Godiva Chocolatier Presents "Sweet" Hosted by Duff Goldman (this is like a Party for the Senses with desserts only, and they say cheeses too) 10/10

I might sign up for one more event for 10/11 later but I need to pick which one.

Where is that jealous smilie?? It sounds just wonderful! Aren't you glad you went? It's stormy here today and we can't even get to the pool!

TigerKat, thanks for posting the bread pudding recipe...I made a chocolate one a while back, but I think I would like this better. We made a whiskey sauce for the regular chocolate, but I bet the rum is devine with this white chocolate. Yummy!

Welcome to Heather!

Brenda, hope you have a pain free day today!

Chelle, I've read some of your blog and it's really good!
