some Disneyland food porn:
Not food, but the undertaker band at the Haunted Mansion event - they were cute.
The food at the event was awful - Swedish meatball, mushroom caps stuffed with sausage (Jimmy Dean I think), bacon-wrapped sausage (more Jimmy Dean), deviled eggs and some sort of really awful mystery meat canape. The mini-desserts weren't bad though and the drinks were great - all the glow-martinis you could drink (same recipe without the glow), mixed to order.
All the food is from the Grand Californian, which had a disaster with their brick pizza oven the day I arrived, just like California Grill did awhile back. So no pizzas in the photos.
Cheese selection from the Hearthstone Lounge
Types of cheese are mysterious. There was some soft goat, some bleu cheese, a little brie and sage darby. Plus toast, preserves and dried fruit with nuts. but do not ask who produced the cheese. I just don't know.
Chicken quesadilla with guac from the lounge
Napa Rose Restaurant
Ahi tuna sashimi, pineapple salsa and habanero sauce
Squash blossoms stuffed with goat cheese
Tempura lobster and Asian beef salad
Fancy mac & cheese in copper pot
My friend's pheasant stew
Warm chocolate cake with raspberry and orange sauces, cinnamon ice cream and pulled sugar "fuse" (get some port with this!)
Smores turnover with handmade marshmallows and chocolate sauce
and I got a refill on my McMurray pinot noir by accident - the server ran out while pouring it and she said she would go get another bottle and wouldn't bat an eye if the stuff already in the glass was gone when she got back - (I left some in the glass but not much)

...she has had a great life, and i kind of knew something was wrong with her, she got so darn skinny so fast..but its still hard. ..i am hoping to get over there after work today to say goodbye..unless a miracle happens of course..ughhh...i think i will be having a bit of scotch tonight..or maybe some wine...sigh..the ups and downs of owning a pet. 
They brought a tote bag in with them and dumped food into it all night long. I mean DUMPED... there was no rhyme or reason to the dump, just turn that plate over and see where it falls. It was the oddest thing. The girls and I were talking about it for hours. How in the heck could you eat it the next day?? There were cheese, olives, meats, desserts... 
That is gross!
