This has absolutely nothing to do with food or your report, but I just have to announce that I just hung up from booking our next trip --- IN ONE MONTH!!! We've never booked a trip this late, so I'm not sure about getting all this planning together, but woohoo anyway!
Hooray for Cassie, she's going to WDW!!! I hope you have a great time and that you get all the ADRs you want!
All that food looks amazing. I've been reluctant to attend a Party for the Senses because they are so expensive. I may just have to attend this year.
Mike
Hi Mike - thanks for taking a read! I agree about PFTS being expensive ... but I really think it was worth it. A great experience with wonderful food - even the things I didn't like were still good ... if that makes any sense.
What a beautiful picture! Thank you for sharing!
Yes, what Suzi said! Thanks again for posting it Sheryl.
RE: Rooooooom service - one of my fav 3rd. Rock episodes when they discover room service at a Sci Fi convention. And then stick "Sulu" w/the bill.
RE: - The seared scallops were by a Chef from Traverse City, MI. My sis lives near there. See, there is some culture in MI. LOL
It's a truly beautiful place to visit.
No way John is EVER doing a party like this, so I like to look at your pics and play "Would I try that or not?" I'm intrigued by the cranberry ravioli.
Keep up the good work. I need to get working on my reports. Sigh.
I never said Michigan doesn't have culture ... it's got frosted flakes, doesn't it?
And now its got seared scallops ... and they were fantastic!
Thanks for reading and yeah ... would you please update your report when you get a spare day?
Next time I go to a 5-star restaurant (which is so often, let me tell you), I may have to see if I can have my duck de-sticked.
I know how much Campbell seemed to enjoy the duckstick comment I made earlier, so I thought this presented a good opportunity to mock the duck one more time.
I can't believe you all ate that much and stayed so thin!!!
Next time you want to do a Dis meet... pick someplace fun with alcohol to meet several hours before the event... eat something in between just so you don't get smackered and then take over the event like all good DISERS do!!!
Hey Michelle! I've said it before and I'll say it again ... if there is a single positive to having Crohns disease it is that you don't always uh ... how shall I say this delicately ... process everything you eat.
DIS-meet on the Disney Magic 10/24/09 ...
Yum, Yumm, Yummy, Yummo, Yumolicshous, Yumskilliumpscous. Doesn't get any tackier than that.

Alright now Mother Goose ... that was uncalled for. Besides, you forgot Yumptious, Yumtopia, and Yumgasmic.
I'm with Cass. Soup in a glass? Did they run out of bowls or something?
Next we'll see you drinking soup out of your hands.
Bendy, did you really eat that onion after that
YUMMY looking dessert?
Tsk, tsk....kids nowadays.
You have my attention though. Bring on more desserts plz.
I like the soup shooter - I think it's cool! Don't you remember my Chef's Table review where we were served soup in a little cream pitcher and Chef Hunnel told us to drink the soup right from the pitcher? It's a playful presentation ... and in this case I like that we can see all the color. Maybe I've been watching too much Iron Chef?
And Nancy ... I don't eat onion if at all possible. I just posted the pictures ... I have no idea in what order things were eaten. I think we just ate them as we found them.
No more dessert ... this was it (at least for this function).
Brenda!
What a party! It looks wonderful. Sorry we missed you due to gastronomical and cell phonotical abnormalities, but at least you may find peace in the fact that we were both stuffed and not sober at the same time, in the same vicinity. That should count for something.
Erica! You said it so perfectly that all I can do is say: thank you for verbalizing ... uh, postalizing ... that perfect summation of the comedy of misfortunes that prevented our meeting and drinking together. We will set things right the next time!
i love dessert
yuuuum!!! when you go in do they ID you and give everyone 21 and up a bracelet or something or do they ID you when you actually get the drinks???
The CMs check each guest's name off of their list of attendees before allowing them to enter the venue. At that time they check ID and give everyone a wristband - I assume that there is a different colored wristband for the guests who are not of drinking age.
This picture had me
... we were not able to get a table with chairs that night and had one of those tall tables you stand at. (My feet were killing me at the end of the night!!) I didn't think anyone liked the Pisco Sours at all, because every time someone walked past our little table, they put a partially consumed one down and walked away! We counted 12 of those darned things once before they came to clear our table!
I loved the Pisco Sours ... I may have been the only person who did. No wonder those guys kept trying to give me more!
Hey Brenda, totally off topic (I still haven't had time to catch up). Brian and I just made reservations for 3 nights at the Beau Rivage in March - celebrating Brian's birthday, anniversary and my graduation...a little early. Beau Rivage is a casino resort on the gulf coast. We have not stayed down there since before the hurricane. Anyway we made reservations at the recently opened Emeril's. Being the foodie extraordinaire that you are, have you eaten at an Emeril's before? Did you like it?
Good for you - everyone needs a little break, especially in your case. I sent you a PM about this, but the short answer is we've eaten at three different Emeril restaurants and thought all three were excellent!
I thought of you today. We went to lunch at one of our nice seafood restaurants and they had a cheese plate on the menu. On the cheese plate: Cheddar, pepper jack, sausage, garlic cheese spread, some other cheese spread with crackers and Boursain (I think that is what it was called). Didn't sound anything like the cheese plates you describe. More like a Pepperidge Farm Christmas gift set. Well, guess that is a south Mississippi cheese plate.
Any cheese plate is good as along as it has cheese that you like! And I'd have eaten most of that cheese plate (well, not the pepper jack) and been well-satisfied. After all, we can't have artisan cheese all the time .... as much as I'd like to!
Hi Brenda,
You don't know how anxious I've been waiting for the PFTS report!
You've certainly done it justice. I was worried when I scrolled through Part Un until I realized there was a Part Duex. I though you had only tried the initial picture offering
That a girl, you ate your money's worth.
Are you sure you aren't going back next year for F&W? Dreaming of PFTS is what gets me through these gray winter months.
Deb
Hi there Deb! You needn't have worried ... remorseless eating machines - that was us that night! If there was any way we could get back this fall I'd do it in a heartbeat, but it just doesn't look like it's in the cards. But 2009 ... PFTS is actually on my birthday and we're going to be there! Can't think of a better way to celebrate the big 4-0 than by eating and drinking myself silly!
Yours looks more like a dessert than my lobster bisque shooter did. I like having a shot of soup. I don't know why I found it fun, but I did.
I was able to go back to work today even though I felt very...avoided...although I had a wretched fever when I got home...it's gone now...but that's the way it is with influenza I've been told...
I hope he feels better soon.
, that food looked absolutely amazing. I can't believe you had any senses left after that evening of sensory overload
I hope they gave you a loooooong spoon
