Shaken, Not Stirred, With a Twist of Pixie Dust! A Food and Wine Trip!NEW! Pgs.75,76

[SwansLoveDisney]

It sounds like you got some good souvenirs! Can't wait to see pics!

The Greek food looks SO good!

 

[tiggrbaby]

Hooray, another update! You know, your description of the dragonberry colada inspired me to get one when we went!

 

[Happydog]

Oh this was a fun post, and the spanokopita was really good, very flaky and flavorful -- some can be bleh. BUT of course what caught my eye was the "coming up next" message at the end of the post.... LOBSTER ROLLS

 

[2xcited2sleep]

I bet I was giggling the loudest. He has that effect on you... trust me. Those dimples! And his momma was hysterical.

I take a pic everytime I pass SSE too. I finally said to myself this trip, how many pictures do you really need of that?

Food and Wine... how I love thee. I'm about to head to the grocery store... maybe I'll get the ingredients to make something from the cookbook. Have you tried any recipes yet?

 

[wigdoutdismom]

I wish those pictures were edible! I think Charles must truly be a fall traveler, was it much cooler then?

I'm not sure one can ever have enough pictures of SE!

 

[Disneymoon09]

Did I shock you, Shocker???

Are you trying to tell me that you actually manage to teach new material instead of doing Turkey Word Finds and Pilgrim coloring pages?

Haha! Even my senior year of high school I have to admit that I loved the day before holiday break, I knew we were going to do word finds/crossword puzzles. Oh how I loved beating all my classmates when they were timed games! I loved those relaxing days!

Great update! I would love to go for food and wine sometime...perhpas someday....

 

[DisneyJo]

Can't wait to see photos of your purchases and strawberry cheesecake ice-cream is my favourite too

 

[ladybugmom]

YUM!! You have my mouth watering with all of the food pics!!

 

[MeMom]

Are you trying to tell me that you actually manage to teach new material instead of doing Turkey Word Finds and Pilgrim coloring pages?

My word find and coloring pages are all ready for the next two days.

No Jamie Deen pictures?

How has your cozy inside with soup and blankies day been?

 

[wigdoutdismom]

Actually we are doing a mystery picture graphing page for math and "Cranberry Thanksgiving" for language arts....
Oh yes, we'll be eating cranberry bread....
We are also going to start working on Christmas gifts for parents, oh yes and then "A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving".

 

[Charleston Princess]

Oh, all the food sounds so lovely!

Way too funny about the Jamie Deen lunch.

When I heard all the fun that was being had, it made me wish I had gone.

It sounds like you got some good souvenirs! Can't wait to see pics!

The Greek food looks SO good!

You know I love Greek food -- the chicken souvlaki was sooooo tasty!!!

Hooray, another update! You know, your description of the dragonberry colada inspired me to get one when we went!

Did you love the Dragonberry???

Oh this was a fun post, and the spanokopita was really good, very flaky and flavorful -- some can be bleh. BUT of course what caught my eye was the "coming up next" message at the end of the post.... LOBSTER ROLLS

Thanks! I really liked the spanokopita as well.

I even have pictures of the lobster rolls!!!

I bet I was giggling the loudest. He has that effect on you... trust me. Those dimples! And his momma was hysterical.

Oh, I would have been giggling, too, had I been there -- I have no doubt.

I take a pic everytime I pass SSE too. I finally said to myself this trip, how many pictures do you really need of that?

There's just something about it that always makes me pull out the camera.

Food and Wine... how I love thee. I'm about to head to the grocery store... maybe I'll get the ingredients to make something from the cookbook. Have you tried any recipes yet?

I haven't tried anything yet. Did you get the ingredients for anything?

I wish those pictures were edible! I think Charles must truly be a fall traveler, was it much cooler then?

I'm not sure one can ever have enough pictures of SE!

It was cooler when we went and not nearly as humid. It was so much more bearable than June. Makes me wonder if I should alter vacation times...

Haha! Even my senior year of high school I have to admit that I loved the day before holiday break, I knew we were going to do word finds/crossword puzzles. Oh how I loved beating all my classmates when they were timed games! I loved those relaxing days!

Great update! I would love to go for food and wine sometime...perhpas someday....

Thanks! Yes, I always loved "lazy" days at school, too, when I was younger.

Can't wait to see photos of your purchases and strawberry cheesecake ice-cream is my favourite too

I could eat buckets of the stuff, Jo!

YUM!! You have my mouth watering with all of the food pics!!

Thanks, Becky! My mouth was watering while I posted the pictures.

My word find and coloring pages are all ready for the next two days.

I was "kind of" sad that I didn't get to pull mine out this year (but I will sacrifice them for the week off).

No Jamie Deen pictures?

Sadly, no, but Christine (2xcited2sleep) has lots on her TR. Sometimes I have to stroll over there for a peek.

How has your cozy inside with soup and blankies day been?

Quite nice -- it rained all day long so I had a good excuse for being non-productive.

Actually we are doing a mystery picture graphing page for math and "Cranberry Thanksgiving" for language arts....
Oh yes, we'll be eating cranberry bread....
We are also going to start working on Christmas gifts for parents, oh yes and then "A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving".

All those sound like fun! When I used to teach sixth grade social studies, we would go out to the parking lot every year and chalk out the dimensions of the Mayflower. The kids were always amazed at how small it really was.

 

[xoktenox]

I just ate dinner and still hearing about that Maple Glazed Salmon and the Fisherman's pie is making my mouth water!!

 

[Mndisneygirl]

Me too - I try only to read this after I eat, but to no avail. My dinner never compares, and then I want something from F&W. Too bad for me.

 

[wigdoutdismom]

Oh I think that chalking out the Mayflower is an awesome idea!
If we have decent weather, you just just gave me another activity!
I love the DIS!

 

[Native NYer]

Even when you want to sleep in, it's just impossible at Disney.

Can't wait to see your souvenir pics.

The chicken souvlaki and spanokopita look delish! I wish Disney would open a Greek pavilion.

 

[MEK]

I love that Charles want to drive so he could get back quicker for his afternoon nap. See Mr "I Wont Rent a Car", I KNEW there was a logical reason why I like to drive to the parks!

Food looks yummy as usual. From reading everyone's TR I am learning the F&W menu. I know exactly what I want next year! YUM!

 

[wsushocker]

When I used to teach sixth grade social studies, we would go out to the parking lot every year and chalk out the dimensions of the Mayflower.

Was that before you did the word finds, coloring pages, and construction paper projects?

 

[RinkyTinkyTinky]

The Fisherman's Pie sounds great. I really wanted to try it but we never made it to the F&W festival. My DD was so ready to ride something that I didn't have the heart to drag her through the countries on the first day of our trip. Then it was over the next day so we missed it. But that's ok. Maybe next time. But I'm enjoying watching the two of you eat anyway!

To respond to your question.............. I would love to do a TR. I really enjoy chatting with other Disney lovers. I don't have anyone in "real life" that I can do that with b/c they would think I was weird. No one esle gets my love for WDW. I'm just really unsure about posting pictures of my DD online and worried about unknowingly sharing too much info with the wrong person. So I'm still thinking on it. I've been dising for several years now and I just recently got up the nerve to add my location (just my state) to my profile. Maybe I'm just a little paranoid, but I can't help it!

 

[jenjolt]

Loved this update!!!!! How much fun you guys had!!!! I love the Food and Wine Pictures!! Loved that Charles wanted to drive that day so you could head back to take a nap!!!

I hope you have a great Thanksgiving break!! Enjoy your week off!!!!

 

[LOVEMY3KIDDOS]

Hmmmm I love feta and spinach!!! Great Greek food!
