Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
How thankful I feel this morning for the many, many blessings that enrich my life...it would seem we're emerging from a "challenging phase" and moving into one of the good ones...news from the home front has me celebrating (nothing important--just a new client that will allow me to pay for DS' law school (assuming that yesterday's announcement that that is is his intention--or at least it's what he's looking at right now--doesn't change)...
DS and I are having a wonderful, relaxing time...yesterday we tried the new Yak & Yeti restaurant at AK ... we really liked it. I want to say the food is better than it is...the setting is gorgeous and the CMs were outstanding...but the bottom line is that the food is good. No better than good, but no worse than good, either...just good. Interesting chinesey-type choices...DS had honey chicken which was delicious...I had stir fried beef and brocolli which was kind of bland...the seared potstickers were excellent; the lettuce cups are a fairly unuusal choice to find and are a terrific appetizer, altho the chicken mixture that goes into the lettuce cups needed lots of sauce...but they give you lots of two kinds of sauce (plus a third kind that came w/the pot stickers) and all were very good...
Then for dinner we tried the new Italian restaurant at Epcot (Tutto Italian)..my DS said it's even better than Alfredo's was...I found it not all that different...no fettucini alfredo on the menu, but it "looks" just the same and I didn't think the menu seemed all that different, either...one of our favorite items, the mozarella & tomatoes appetizer highlighted the difference between DS and me...I like my moz "hard-ish"; he likes his soft & creamy...so he was in heaven because Tutto's moz is very soft & creamy...I was less pleased, but still liked it...
I had been all psyched to see Epcot's Christmas lights after dinner last night, but alas, it was not to be...the tree is up and lit, and the archway is also up...but only white lights lit...we're guessing the beautiful colored lights "show" will start tonight or perhaps tomorrow night...we're going to the Candlelight Processional tomorrow night, so we'll see than...
Today, we have ADRs at CA Grill for our T-giving dinner...we're both eagerly looking forward to that...afterwards, we'll head to MK to see it all lit up for Christmas..."the plan" is to stay for Spectromagic and for Wishes, and then if we have any energy left, head over to the Poly to see the water parade...these are "mom plans"...DS, at 20, is content w/very little time at MK...and he'd rather go over to see Fantasmic at the Studios...I'm also up for seeing Fantasmic (one of the two best shows at Disney, we think...the other is the Nemo musical at AK, which is phenomenal!), but think I'd rather do that tomorrow or Sat...it's unlikely we'll go back to MK at night after tonight...and we'll be right there...so, we'll see how that works out...
May life's blessings fall in generous measure on all of you, and hope you all have a wonderful day!
