Bendy & Her Friendies V2 ... This Bar Never Closes! New Thread Started!

[Shenanigoat]

It only works if you say "verrrrrry interrrrresting" when you poke your head through.

Time for the Final Accounting of the Festival Demos:

Sept 25 Barcelona Tapas & Wine
Sept 25 Caymus Vineyards
Oct 3 Suvir Saran
Oct 16 Todd English
Oct 17 Greg Richie
Oct 19 La Crema Winery
Oct 30 Andrew Zimmern

November 1 is going to be World Showcase Domination day since I don't have anything else scheduled. I plan to start with the Axis powers and then move to the Allies and save the neutrals for last.

It was brought to my attention yesterday that there's only a month left before some of us can start running through the streets of WS and shouting "FESTIVAL" like that Star Trek episode.

I'm going to the Sept 25 Barcelona Tapas & Wine demo too!

ChelleinNC,
Thanks for posting the recipe! I had no clue what to make tonight, but after reading here I decided Camorones Mexicanos (Shrimp Mexican style) would be delicious.
I've made my list, and I'm off to shop.

I'm going to the Sept 25 Barcelona Tapas & Wine demo too!

Let's hear it for tapas and wine.

My mother wanted another wine demo but they moved the one she picked to October 19. So I picked out tapas and wine as a substitute. Getting the demos done on the 25th means we won't have too much wine before the Tutto Italia pairing on the 26th. She doesn't know I booked tapas yet but she will trust me with the food

So the big question I have now is...should I book the Wishes dessert buffet? I looked into booking it on my birthday but it apparently isn't available Sundays while the dinner buffet is held in that area. But I have a Tuesday and Wednesday free. It's freaking expensive. I'm thinking just get my own dessert and watch fireworks from the hub. I could buy three desserts for what they're charging now.

I apologize if I have missed anyone or anything here but I've been extremely busy as we're finally selling my parents' house after being on the market a VERY long time. Also getting DS settled at school has kept us busy!

Chelle - The Mexican meal you fixed looked fabulous!

Bendy - The raspberry brie tarts on the other hand.... looks like what I end up with when I try my hand at baking.

I've only booked one demo, 10/19 culinary demo - The Wave. I may book a few more events but our schedule is jam packed already!

I'm going to try and keep up with you chatty ladies!

oh, and you do know you can get the Lapu Lapu without the pineapple for a much-reduced price (it's about $14 with the pineapple and $8 without)

: hmmmm... I wonder if you get the pineapple at the beginning of your vacation and bring it back every time if they will refill it for a discount...

 

[PNO4TE]

FYI Wishes Dessert Party has been extended through October!!!

I guess the price increased a bit, too. Happy booking!

I have a DIS friend who texted this info to me when she saw it. I was in meetings and didn't get it until about 2:00. When I had the chance to call I was told there was no availability at all for any night throughout our entire trip! I found that hard to believe so I called back again. And this time I got the very same answer. Wow. Word traveled fast for certain!

If they offered this as an alternative "refillable mug option" I would be all over it.

I booked today for the party on 10/3. It was $23.42 per person (tax included). And I was told by my CM on the phone that there is a one day prior to your party date cancelation policy.

when or where you are going to meet a friendie.

I'm in the bank we use for work speaking with Diane the teller. We knew each other was a Diser but I found out she's also a friendie AA's Grammy is the teller I was telling her about my upcoming trip and she asked if it was for the F&W and I said no, thats Octobers trip and I'm going for a friends birthday. After a bit more chatting she asked about the thread and said the "Bendy" one. After a laugh I said yes. So, you never know when or where you are going to meet up with a friendie

I just happened to do some illegal surfing this evening before leaving work and suddenly saw a blip about the dessert party being extended. Called from the office and managed to get two spots for October 14th!

Bye-bye Coral Reef, hello endless sugar high!

turn it so the words dont' show and they'd never know the difference at Tambu

Congrats to all those who got the seminars and the dessert party....but Elin, I am so sorry you didn't get in....I know you were really hoping to be able to do it.

The food porn looks great....with the exception of those tarts, of course! Brenda, I feel your pain when it comes to broiling.....things always seen to end badly when I turn the broiler on!

 

[oybolshoi]

I once accidentally broiled a birthday cake I was making for Jay ... but believe it or not it turned out OK.

 

[whogirl'smom]

I have a question that's going nowhere on the codes and rates board so I'll ask it here:

Got our room and friends booked on my 40% discount; if they want to make it a package, do we risk losing the discount, or will CRO just check if that discount is still available at CS? My email originally said to ask about packages available, too, so I'm assuming that it would just take 40% off the room part. Also, who calls, me who has the pin number or them since CRO put the reservation under their name when I called for their room and gave them a separate confirmation number?

The reason I'm asking is that I've priced out food for them and we think that the DDP would be a better deal with the two 17 y/o to feed.

You know that the refillable pineapples are only good for the stay that you purchased them

Awesome!

Still don't know when we're going for F&W Jon called MS this morning, but could only get Mon - Thurs, and we want/need Sun - Thurs. --need because we have 40 points in holding to use and at 11 pts a night for a studio, 3 nights means we'll lose points-- We'll have to keep calling and checking and maybe someone will cancel a Sunday night.

Congrats on selling your parents house and getting DS settled

Thanks Chelle.

Thanks for the welcome home everyone! It really was a great trip and I'm sad to be back, but October will be here before we know it

I think a few people we asking about Paradiso 37. I did eat there the first night of my trip. It was just me since my friends had not yet arrived. I did not need a ressie although I had one (good DISer that I am). I really just had some appetizers since that's what sounded good I had some salsa and guacamole which both tasted homemade and were very good as were the chips. And I had the "El Salvadoran Pupusas" (just looked this up on allears) which were just like little mini tacos. They were good too and it was just enough food. Of course I had a yummy drink too. Sadly the drink menu is not on allears. But I think I had a "Mangled Margarita" which was layers of frozen sangria and frozen margarita. It was good but very sweet, I could not finish it. I'd probably try a regular frozen margarita next time. I'd go back again, it was a nice atmosphere and a great place for apps and a drink

Congrats to everyone who got their wine tastings booked. I'm still debating if I want to do any -- again problem is the ones I would do are not when I am going to be there. There are a couple that do interest me so I'm going to see if I can tweak my schedule to make it work. If not I'll just booze it up at the booths!

I caught it just in time. But I feel very bad about wasting an entire round of brie.



We will enjoy ourselves, but I just feel like I'm doing something wrong.

I want to steal Catherine's idea and don a pith helmet while poking my head through palmhenge to explore.

Also ... we've decided that we're dumping X&Y on their arrival day lunch. We're supposed to go to Sci Fi with them but Jay and I think we're not going to have enough time to go, get back to the hotel, clean up nice and pretty, and then get over to V&A for a 5:15 reservation with some friendies. So we're going to give them the option of going alone or canceling. Our first meal of the trip with them will be the following morning at Kona.

I think they'll be happier that way and even if they aren't ... PFFFFFT!!! This is what will work best for us. It takes me more than an hour to get ready for dinner at V&A ... I actually have to try to look good and that requires serious effort and make-up.

Sorry about the brie! So sad. I love brie in a pastry puff too and I'm sure they would have been great had they not gotten overly toasted.

I think you deserve some time to relax and get ready for your dinner at V&A. Hopefully you'll have a nice balance of doing things by yourself and doing things with X and Y. If there's one thing I learned after this trip, it's always nice to have some alone time, and you can't please everyone all the time

Those poor raspberries Everything else looked great! The drink sounds interesting. I'm one that doesn't love ginger so that sample bottle is a good idea



Sort of a recipe, but mostly on my own.

Yellow saffron rice, follow directions. Before serving I threw a couple handfuls of mexican style shredded cheese on it and stirred it in to melt.

For the shrimp, I peeled them even though the restaurant I get this dish at leaves the shell on. I don't like peeling my food while I'm eating it. Just me

1lb shrimp, thawed (peeled if you're like me)
1 onion chopped roughly
2-3 cloves garlic, chopped
1 green pepper, large chop
1 avocado, sliced
1 large or 2 small tomatoes, sliced
1/2 can of enchilada sauce
olive for pan
salt & pepper to taste

Saute onion, garlic & green pepper in oil until cooked. Add shrimp, cook for about 5 minutes. Add tomatoes, enchilada sauce, cook till heated through. Add avocado slices before serving.

Serve over cheesy rice.

As I said, not really a recipe. Make sure your shrimp is cooked, but not over cooked. The rice takes about 25-30 minutes, the rest is about 10 minutes.

Sounds like something that's right up my alley. I'll have to try that! Thanks for the recipe.

If they offered this as an alternative "refillable mug option" I would be all over it.

Oh, that does sounds like a good idea!

I booked today for the party on 10/3. It was $23.42 per person (tax included). And I was told by my CM on the phone that there is a one day prior to your party date cancelation policy.

I just did the party last week, you're really going to enjoy it! Just a note on the cancellation policy, my friend's son got sick that night and I was able to cancel for 2 members of our party about an hour or so before and they refunded our money. So just in case something happens, they were really nice about cancelling.

Yay for the dessert party! Did the time conflict for your dinner or did you just think it was too much food? I know, how can there be too much food? We actually did Crystal Palace for dinner before the party, but had about an hour and a half from dinner to the dessert party. I still managed to stuff my face. Oink oink! I would love to do it again but with the MNSSHP going on it really limits the nights while I am there so I think I'm going to have to pass. I'd have to extend my trip to do all the things I want to do. Sad part is I would consider that if I didn't already have my plane ticket

Just recalled that I am doing a dessert party in New York City on October 10 that might just put the MK one to shame, so not gonna book another one.
