WOW

That's one of my fave pics of you two. Mr Disney and I share a strong love of good aged Diet coke, fine food and Chocolate, and wonderful, romantic men. You both are just awesome! I told him to come to Atlanta and I'd cook you a home style Southern dinner sure to make you happy!

SHHHHH ... don't tell ... but we OFTEN have Diet Coke and Chocolate for breakfast!

In fact, we're still working on the wonderful Bridgewater Chocolate Easter Bunny Mister Disney gave me for Easter! Would you believe he even had glasses put on the bunny in honor of my new eye glasses?

We're working on getting to Atlanta! Keep the ovens warm!

I will keep it warm! And don't you know that the Diet Coke cancels out the calories in the chocolate so you're at a net zero!

This is a very good start ...

How would you like your coffee?

The only real coffee I have ever had on property is the coffee at Victoria & Alberts. Mister Disney tried everything under the sun to arrange for real coffee in our room. All the pixie dust in Neverland couldn't pull that off.

SO, as love you have it, he pulled his own pixie dust out and secretly packed individual packets of Chock Full O'Nuts the Heavenly Coffee into our bags. Each morning, I awoke to a pot of specially brewed Chock Full O' Nuts coffee ... and Mister Disney!

​

BUT WAIT ... this is LAST YEAR'S POT ... we're still waiting for the rest of dinner and DESSERT!

Ok, I am not a coffee drinker (tea, leaves please) but dh is - is this some sort of alcoholic contraption? OR coffee torture device????

Alas, I knew there had to be others who knew of the TRUE "Breakfast of Champions."

ROFLMAO

No ... Our Lady of the Manor didn't come with us! It was ...

(Mister) Disney Magic!

 

[Mr. D's K-Man]

Macho Macho Man
I've Got ME a MACHO MAN

THE TORTURE IS OVER

Mister Disney is finally here ... he's been out chopping wood so we'll be have a full, roaring fireplace all Winter long. We like our Martinis ICE COLD and our fires blazing

 

[Mister Disney]

Here we go again.....

Can we talk about SALT for a minute?

I saw these beauties sitting on the counter and had to ask about them. Seems that the esteemed Chefs use VARIOUS salts that they grind themselves to season things. I was TOTALLY amazed at these, the black one is hawaiian volcanic salt....I thought I had it all going because I had Regular table salt, kosher salt and some sea salt....and V&A has these beauties.....

 

[Amyrlin]

Ahhh chocolate and now salt, I love this thread, there are not many poeple that appricate salt!

 

[Mr. D's K-Man]

Here we go again.....

Can we talk about SALT for a minute?

Speaking of Salt ... HE'S BACK ... The Salt of the Earth ...

Can't wait to read more. I am not a very adventurous eater, so I doubt V&A's will be on my schedule anytime soon, yet I can't stop reading your report.

 

[Mister Disney]

Minnesota Elk Tenderloin with Rainbow Marble Potatoes and Veal Sweetbreads

do I dare? do I really dare?

whats the english version of this?

Just call me Hannabel Lecter!

Meat and potatoes with a little bit of crispy brains thrown in for good measure!

 

[Mister Disney]

OK....where was I BEFORE I lost my head?

Oh yeah food review....

Minnesota Elk Tenderloin with Rainbow Marble Potatoes and Veal Sweetbreads

ABSOLUTELY marvelous!

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE,
do not tell the Chefs you want your meats well done!

I used to eat everything well done....I even had a standard statement when I would send things back... "I've seen cows recover from worse wounds than this!"

After my first experience at V&A OH so many years ago, I began eating my meat medium well, then medium and now I can and even do eat meats medium rare. The taste and texture differences will blow your mind! Give it a try!

{getting off my soap box now.....}

The Elk was perfectly medium rare and melted in your mouth. I was amazed, not at all gamey as I had expected. The sweetbreads we crispy and crunchy and perfectly seasoned with salt. The reduction sauce? Heavenly....by this point I was ready to string the K-Man up for telling our "Albert" "no more bread, no matter how much we beg!"

THANK GOD for Sauce Spoons!

 

[Mr. D's K-Man]

YO HO YO HO
A PIRATES LIFE FOR ME ​

 

[Mister Disney]

and no the Elk was not the main course! then again neither is this....

Pan Roasted Foie Gras and Fuji Apple Tart, Apple Cider Reduction

English? Liver and Apple Pie.....what a combination eh?

It was wonderful! I have only ever had Foie Gras at V&A and have no desire t try it anywhere else...Why mess with a good thing?

Foie Gras really is a "texture" thing, and NOT at all like that nasty "liver and onions" stuff my mother used to try and pass off to us as kids as "steak"!

The Foi Gras literally melted in our mouths. The Fuji Apple Tart was INCREDIBLY crispy.....I was struck by the fact that it remained crispy, even when it was just about swimming in the cider reduction sauce. On our way out at the end of the evening...I even mentioned to Chef Aimee how I was suprised at how crispy the tart remained, and she reminded me thats what they are there for....to amaze us and to create things that appear to be impossible. A++++ Keep up the great work!
