deep fried oreos...that's nothing...State Fair of Texas...we deep fry everything!!! lol...pretty much every candy bar, guacamole, deep friend lattes, sundaes, deep fried bacon will be new this year...lol...
but hey, what can you say...corny dogs were invented at our state fair...in Texas: "If you can dip it in batter, you can deep fry it!" lol :rotfl2:

I do have to say though that the deep fried guacamole and deep fried latte are both divine!!! ok, now I can't wait for the state fair to start this month!!

Can you please explain to me how you deep fry a latte? I know you said if you can dip it in batter you can fry it, but a latte is a drink.:confused3 I love corn dogs, if the Texas fair invented them then they must have started the first State Fairs, isn't the corn dog like the official food of State Fairs?
 
We have been married for two years. I have always wanted to have kids in the past, and I really didn't know anyone married that did not have kids. But now, we are not sure if we want to have kids. I would hate to have a kid, take him or her to Disney and he or she not like it. We would then be the most horrible parents in the world going to disney and leaving the kids at home.:rotfl:

Welcome!!!:banana:

I've been dealing with a bad foot, it's pronated (fallen arch), which puts pressure on my ankle. I've gained some weight in last year and that's starting to affect the ankle more. The doc took an x-ray and found out I have a broken bone in my ankle, it's an old injury that was never taken care of and is now agitated by the weight gain. Now I'm doing a crash Atkin's diet to try to drop some weight so I do not become a part of the scooter brigade at Disney. And I will also be going in to have new orthotics made for my shoes to lift the arch and take the pressure of the ankle bone. Wish me luck, please!

On a lighter topic, did anyone see the news about David Duchovny (x-files, CALIFORNICATION), is being treated for a sex addiction? He's actually gone into treatment for it. I think his Showtime series has become more reality than just acting. Just thought that was interesting.

Have a great day everyone!

:lmao: I was reading your post this morning while listening to Howard- and OMG- at that exact time- he was talking about David Duchovny! Ironic! Do we really care David needs sex all the time?:confused3

So sorry to hear about your ankle! Load up on Advil every few hours while walking around the parks. One year, before our Disney trip, I hurt my knee really bad. I was so upset b/c all I could think of was- how DARE my knee get in the way of my trip!!! Oh- and just drink a lot ;) People won't be able to tell if you are staggering from drinking or just injured:rotfl2:

We are going to be at the Dolphin - neither DH nor I have ever stayed there & since we are focusing on Epcot it seemed as good a time as any other to try it out! I wanted to be close, so after park close we could just stumble back w/out having to worry about driving or a bus.

I walked over to the Dolphin and the Swan from the Boardwalk one morning- it was SO peaceful! My SIL and niece were sleeping in and I was a little bored- so I went down to the Bakery, got my coffee and strolled on the path to the Beach and Yacht Club and then over to the Swan and Dolphin- It is SO great to be able to walk to Epcot and The Studios too! Be sure to take the path to The Studios, at night it will be a nice stroll for you and DH! Any time I can avoid the bus- It is a plus!!!:thumbsup2 I told my niece we will get shirts made up- "WE HATE THE BUS" She said, "I can't wear that for the SCHOOL bus!" I had to explain to her we will only wear them in Disney!

Welcome back Madd!!:yay:
Cute pic of the 3 of you Madd, your niece is such a cutie patootie! Glad to hear you had a nice time with them but I'm totally understanding the WDW time with your DH only. And how sweet of the prince to come and check on you, too bad the are so clean cut. I say make 'em grow their hair long and put blue sunglasses on them. Yeah, that's it, they should all look like JD!:cool2:

I have to say I am not looking forward to the loudness of a value resort, but this trip is a budget trip that my best friend and I planned with our DH's just to get together for the F&W fest. We definitely will not be at the resort that much and since we got our room for $54 a night we'll deal with it. DH wants to stay at the Poly or Boardwalk next time.

DH and I do the values most of the time! The prices are great when you can get a code. I stayed at the Poly in the past- and honestly- I liked the Boardwalk much better. BUT, that is just me.

Wow- speaking of JD- I just remembered! We did not even do the Pirate Tutorial! I am not into the Capt Jacks just b/c they are SUPPOSED to be JD. Some of the women act like they are at a male revue when they see those guys!:lmao: I accept no imitations!:snooty:

Welcome back Madd!!! I love the picture, even though I always had the mental image that you were a borderline goth girl like me! :lmao: Sounds like you had an awesome time, which I knew you would. I would have been checking the Prince for piercings and tattoos before giving him my seal of approval. :rotfl2:

Zima - I'm psyched about the F&W fest myself! So much booze and so little time! Oh yeah...there's food too huh? LOL I think I'll make a little sign that says "Please return to Coronado springs" on it and paste it to my shirt just in case I'm not speaking to clearly at the end of the day.:rotfl:

HA!:lmao: Did my pic surprise you!!!!? A few Disers said the same thing! Let me tell ya- looks are deceiving! I hide behind the "almost normal" facade:lmao: - but behind that- is the real me! The Queen of Death Metal Darkness and cynical as can be! :rotfl2:

You can't see my eyebrow or all of my ear piercings in the pic. I would love to be goth- however, I think I mentioned this before- I don't do pale and dark hair very well! I am a Leo- I need to be bright- I do "tan" a little better:dance3: I do kind of stick out at the concerts- I toss on my Harley girlie hat and try and cover the hair.

I love the sign idea for you! I would PEE if I saw someone wearing that- and remember- try and avoid the F&W on the weekends! And if you have the meal plan, use your snack credits for the little food carts outside of each country!!

Another suggestion- If anyone wants a good (quiet) breakfast- we did Spoodles a few times and used our TS credit. We always got right in, no ressies, and there was only a handful of people in there- we would go between 10 and 11am.

The woman asks her, "but won't you get bored?" And she was totally serious! What is this woman going to do when the kids have grown and gotten a life of their own?

Dear GOD! BORED!!???? Being in Disney this past week has confirmed by beliefs that children are probably the #1 cause of adults having mental issues :lmao: And that is if you are a parent of said child, .....or NOT! Just being around them can cause insanity! (be sure to pack your Xanax girls! and some extras for your DH):thumbsup2
 
ooops- sorry I forgot to tell you all a quick story about my trip.

We were in the AK one day and Karlee wanted to watch the parade- it was at 4pm and we were there most of the day. (I HATE parades- but, I put a zipper on it) So SIL and I pick out a spot. It was a good spot- we had some rocks to sit on- all was all good. BUT- not for Karlee! She started freaking out that she could not see b/c of the kids in front of her, and she wanted a seat. She was acting up so much that the kids in front of her were turning aorund to see what was going on.

Well- I had it and I just yelled out "Excuse me? Princess? Would you like me to fetch you your THRONE to sit on!? And how about some pillows to rest your head on!!?" She was furious and just looked at me and screamed!:rotfl2:

At the same time- SIL and I just walked away from her- which made the situation worse! She started screaming MORE!:scared1: I saw SILs face and knew it was time for me to walk away from them so she can let Karlee have it. We ended up just leaving the park and she did not get to see the parade!:sad2:

THAT was an Ativan day!

Oh my Lord I just spit out my lemonade. That's AWESOME!

You totally made me laugh out loud! You know I will be doing that, and I also have little bottles of tequila for my little purse that I bring into the parks.:lmao:

I have heard some rumblings that Mr. Duchovny's addiction may have something to do with internet porn. :scared: :confused3

I will definitely be loading up with Advil, right now I have been eating Aleve's like candy and they do nothing for me. Time to make the switch.

We did not see this on our last visit but I was hoping to see it this next time. I have read a few trip reports that the woman writing it are so into these JD wannabes, it's weird. I have seen two different ones and only one somewhat resembles him but why would you act like that around them, bizarre!

I forgot to mention that the woman who thought the other would be bored has been open about the fact that her husband had an affair with his secretary. He took the other woman on many trips to Vegas and skiing in Colorado. Pays cash for his BMW's & Escalades, he's some type of broker. She was going to divorce him but he begged her not to and promised not to see the other woman again. She thought that because he would have to come forward about his finances they might uncover something possibly illegal going. She just said fine and they have gone on with life as usual. How could you trust someone after that?

Hopefully that was the only "little" meltdown during the trip, I think your SIL did the right thing by leaving the park with her.

Doesn't security see it in your purse- actually, some of them do not even check hard enough to see anything! Why even bother checking at all!?:confused3

I have heard some rumblings that Mr. Duchovny's addiction may have something to do with internet porn. :scared: :confused3

Yes- that is what they said on Howard- he did not cheat on Tea- it was about the internet porn, for crying out loud what country do we live in? People really need to pull the sticks out of their butts and mind their own stinking business!

I would be VERY interested in hearing some of the propositions those guys get!:scared1: I can only imagine! I am sure one is, "no- please, keep the costume, hair and make-up ON....Capt!":rotfl2: :lmao: :rotfl2:

I think they should interview people before they are allowed to become parents!:laughing: "Sorry- rejected"

Hopefully that was the only "little" meltdown during the trip, I think your SIL did the right thing by leaving the park with her.

That was the only meltdown. I do not like when people make excuses for their child's behavior- but it was so HOT and we were there all day, that is not an excuse, but I think right about that time, I was ready to have a meltdown-:scared:

A few times I left my SIL and Karlee and went back to the room to calm myself and take a shower b/c it was so hot! It really helps to decompress in the afternoon.

actually- *I* had a few issues with her manners! My SIL told me she does not have a problem with me correcting Karlee, which I did a lot, but you can only go so far before you cross the line. So I did bite my tongue many times.

OH! You will all love this too!

You know how most people with kids.....like kids......:confused: we had dinner one night at Wolfgang Puck Cafe- upstairs. It is much more snooty than downstairs and they do not take the dining plan (ugh- after we ordered we found this out) but they made the best chocolate martinis- so of course, we could not leave!:rolleyes: anywho- No one up there had kids with them while we were eating (a family with children did come in as we were leaving)

Karlee was very well behaved when we were there- however, at one point, she wanted to look out the window that was near another table. As she was looking out the window- she was belting out a song. I just said for her to sit down b/c maybe the people eating did not want to hear her sing.

My SIL was very surprised that I said that. I said, look- I am going to give you a lesson on childfree people and how they think! I went on to tell her when DH and I (and other childfree people) are out- this is how WE think- it is fine the kids are there and talking with their families- but we like them to stay at THEIR table and do not wish to hear them singing- having a tantrum etc. (and I am sure people WITH children feel the same way, but I would think they are more understanding in that situation! They are all in that "been there before" club :rolleyes: It is like a secret handshake of the parents- I am sure you all have seen it in Disney)

She said really? I never even noticed kids in a restaurant even before I had kids- I said, Well- that is what makes us different!

I wonder if she went away with some knowledge:worship:
 
Can you please explain to me how you deep fry a latte? I know you said if you can dip it in batter you can fry it, but a latte is a drink.:confused3 I love corn dogs, if the Texas fair invented them then they must have started the first State Fairs, isn't the corn dog like the official food of State Fairs?

have you ever had fried ice cream? It's kinda like that. like a deep friend pastry type situation with coffee ice cream and liqour and whip cream.
 
OMG all these stories are just killing me this morning! :rotfl2: X-files have now become XXX-files, Capt Jack is stripping and taking extra business on the side, secretaries and bosses sneaking off for vaca...and Madd's niece providing entertainment for the folks at Wolfgang's :lmao: I have nothing to add whatsoever except for the "No snorking the lemonade please" comment did me in:rotfl:

Oh that sounds really good! I do like fried ice cream, and then they add the coffee flavor, liquor & whip cream, that's even better!:worship: Talk about a carb overload....

Thanks Tiffany, if I ever make it to Texas I will be sure there is a State Fair going on while I'm visiting.
 
BTW- I have also tried a fried Oreo af ew years ago- I was not crazy about it- however, I believe you should always try something TWICE just to be sure it is or is not for you:thumbsup2

I have to go and try another one!:cool1:
 
I think if we could only figure out the enigma that is "fried jello shooters", we'd have a profitable and tasty market niche cornered!
