It is a DIS meet with Kim. We are going to the movie and then lunch at Five Guys.

Hmmmm ....he wants to go to the Apple Store on Saturday...there's a movie theatre in the same mall....Five Guys is across the street...he wants to try Five Guys....hmmmmmm

 

[Launchpad11B]

I don't hand make my pasta, though. I do make Lobster Fra Diavlo, cold fish salad, hot calamari, fried flounder, shrimp scampi, ect.

Can I help???

which segway tour? EPCOT
walk through Fort Wilderness to see decorations? I've always heard good things about these decorations. Sounds like a great idea.
make sure I see World Showcase in daylight. Definately

Thanks for the help!

I was thinking the Fort Wilderness segway tour would get me a chance to see the holiday decorations without walking.

I seem to only see World Showcase at night during my past two visits. Daylight would be nice!

I thought all video of that meal had been erased!

Happy Hump Day folks!

Check the grocery - Heinz makes a low-sugar ketchup. I've been using it for quite awhile - it's very good.

DH says fries are just a vehicle to get ketchup to my mouth - so this is good to know; I'll look for it

I know Todd just said that he doesn't have a problem, but wondering how many people this date was a struggle for?

We started going away on our own for Christmas a few years ago. First time we felt bad but it is such fun to be away and see others celebrating Christmas, and relaxing too...no big fancy meal for me to cook! My folks will be spending the holidays away again this year so no self-imposed guilt this year. We have large families, spread all over, and it's fabulous hectic madness when most of "the kids" head back to my folk's place and we celebrate with different functions over many days...but it's probably the kind of memories that are special if you only get them every few years We still send out gifts/card-letter - just plan a bit ahead since we know we will be gone. Last year we left on Dec 4th and it was a bit of a rush getting everything done...this year should be easier

She's probably a bit jealous. You have a wonderful family.

Andrea - at least she can see what class looks like from your reaction. Fab that you've just decided relieve yourself of the stress of such a massive function. And good for Vinny for stepping up too

The difference between

"There are two basic forms of pasta -- macaroni and noodles. Macaroni products are made from semolina and water. Noodles are made from Durum flour (a more finely ground form of semolina), water and, by Federal regulation, egg solids. So, without the egg solids, a pasta product can't be identified as a noodle."

Have you used durum before? I just started making my own pasta in March (yes, I lugged a pasta maker all the way from the Vancouver Olympics - don't ask me why!! ). I first tried unbleached flour and wasn't thrilled with the results so started using 50/50 with semolina, and the results are pretty good. Would durum/semolina/unbleached mix be better? I make it in fettucine-shaped; it is egg-free.

cheers,

I haven't read the books, but I'd be happy to join you at Five Guys! Yum!

 

[mainegal]

For a lunch healthier than Five Guys - the one I have today!

I found it in the freezer. It is my recipe with sweet potato, chicken, edamame, tomato, carrot,spinach and rice. Can't remember the exact spices, but they smell very much like Boma!
YUM!!!

A lean cuisine with sweet and sour chicken. (And a mini burger mom brought back from lunch.)

 

[mainegal]

Just finished mine.
It was (found the recipe!) African Peanut Stew.

last recipe on this link
http://www.relishmag.com/article/24957.html

This is the recipe I started with, but I know I made changes.
For my preferences, I left out the bell pepper. Added chunks of chicken. In addition to the ginger and curry powder, I may have added some other spices, but don't remember what!

 

[kimisabella]

I would gladly make Christmas Eve dinner for your family if you came down!

Wow, Karen, I am impressed with your pasta skills! I wouldn't dare try it when I can buy the box for .99 cents at the supermarket

As for lunch, I am having cheese, crackers and apple slices

 

[Renysmom]

Go by yourself!! You can't wait that long to see it...I'm going tomorrow at some point with DH. I still can't believe he volunteered to take me...I know he's going to use it against me at some point...

Don't worry.. we will use it against him at some time

Hmmmm ....he wants to go to the Apple Store on Saturday...there's a movie theatre in the same mall....Five Guys is across the street...he wants to try Five Guys....hmmmmmm

Sounds like a perfect Saturday date!!

We walked to Quiznos.. I had the Honey Bourbon Chicken on wheat (small) w/baked lays and unsweetened Ice Tea.

 

[Tonya2426]

I am a bad TwiGuy. I probably won't see it until it comes out on DVD/BluRay. DP won't go see a 'chick flick' in the theatre.

You have to go see it!!!! It was soooo good!!! And lots of Jasper My theory on seeing a movie by yourself is that you aren't going to be talking during the movie so why not go by yourself - once the movie starts you won't notice you are alone.

Go by yourself!! You can't wait that long to see it...I'm going tomorrow at some point with DH. I still can't believe he volunteered to take me...I know he's going to use it against me at some point...

I think he may actually like it - there is enough action that might keep him happy.

My bet is more of Tonya's special recipe chicken!

Actually it is Brandie's Special Chicken recipe (aka Kraft's Oven-Fried Crunchy Parmesan Chicken) It is how she got to go to DAP last year.

 

[georgemoe]

Wow 6 pages behind. Hi peeps. Work is cutting into my DIS time.

Thanks for the laugh Todd, she is Irish and doesn't understand Italian (not that I understand too much either) but I could nonchalantly call her that and she wouldn't even know

Technically I don't know if I do "7" fishes, I just do the fish dishes that got passed down to me. I don't hand make my pasta, though. I do make Lobster Fra Diavlo, cold fish salad, hot calamari, fried flounder, shrimp scampi, ect.

Noodle??? Does your Nana makes macaroni or noodle pasta with her 7 fishes?

I just love it when you two talk like this.

Just one of the few thinngs that is just very wrong with the world!

Please tell me about the special chicken recipe that will make a man give in to my every whim?

I would be happy to make DH Brandie's Chicken for a weekend of him doing as I please!

Not sure how y'all handle things in Texas, but it isn't necessarily food that will wrap him around your pinky....
