watched better half start his tomato plants yesterday (indoors) & woke up to 3 inches of snow this am, guess winter's not done yet here.

Welcome everyone who I haven't said hi to! (I can't keep my kids straight, let alone the peeps from this thread! ). No more progress on the trip report since I'm waiting for Stephen to do the one day's worth he's supposed to be working on (and of course isn't!). I just threw him out of bed at 11:30 here because I know he has a zillion things he needs to get done today and bet that's low on the list!

We went skiing yesterday to a new place we hadn’t been to before and had a good time. VERY cold out although we’ve been skiing in temps at least 30 degrees colder but the 20 and wind chill of 7 just felt SO cold. Skied in the morning and realized it was both Royce and my first time skiing this season – we’ve boarded every other time. And by about 15 minutes into it were regretting not boarding! We wanted to try out a new place on skis instead just because we feel more comfortable doing so. But we took an early break and switched out to our boards. A bit nicer in the afternoon. Great deal for the place – normally $40 for a lift ticket and they had a special for March (end of season) - $99 to get a FAMILY season pass for the rest of the season! So of course we did that – if only we had more days we could go back and not a zillion conflicts! I would have gotten Matt on the pass too but it was parents and children 18 and under – and Matt has now been 19 for a whole 3 days! (off to change my signature next!). Bummer! But we’ll just pay for him if he wants to go. I may take Eric & his GF back next weekend while Royce and Stephen are in Madison for Mock Trial State.

marci - time to start working on the next WDW trip plans

DS @ the Studios called, he made the AI audition & getting ready to get makeup done (where he gets the nerve i'll never know lol)

would u believe the TS FPs were gone for the day when they hit the park around 10ish amhe sez the park is slammed.

he's going to Universal tomorrow and was planing on getting the 1 day 2 park tix. Parks are only open from 9 am to 7 pm (who knows what time he'll snag taxi to get there) starting to think I should tell him to buy the express passany thoughts?

I've only had to buy the express pass once (when I arrived at 11:30 on a Sunday) because we usually stay one night on property- I'm so spoiled I know, but I LOVE the FOTL perk. Even the time I had to buy it though... SO worth it. So I vote "yes."

On a side note- do I have to change the description under my avatar to "proud redhead" too now? I'm generally a non-conformist, but if you all are doing it as a method of not conforming, then I'm IN!

Speaking of talking about nothing...
As I sit here watching Dino Dan with Cameran, I am currently trying to bleach my hand with highlighting paste, to counteract the maroon hair color that weezled (spelled that wrong intentionally to prove I can let my hair down!) it's way into my plastic glove and ruined my life.

i have the answer.
good thing you came to the right place for advise.


put the maroon coloring on the other hand and that way they will match.
since they match, no one will notice.


ok, what do i win for the fantastic help...

Im not a newbie but am I welcome ??

you are a homie.
once a homie, always a homie.


we just considered youse were on a long nap ......figured that is why youse haven't been around.

how youse and the 'pool boy' doing?
once we hit 250 pages, i have to go make a new place for us.
and, we will be needing a pool and helper when that time comes....


hey, how's your boy doing?

it's ok to misspell on here.
the new teach can't use a red marker pen on the computer screen.

man.......i wish i was there.
i do love me that american idol show at the studios.

i would sit by myself so i could vote on my chair and the two other chairs beside me.
yea, i would cheat for your kiddo...
4 votes for the price of 1.

tell your offspring to get his butt out of bed very early and take a taxi to the darkside at 7:30 tomorrow morning.
he can avoid buying the epp then.
he and female friend could do the parry hotter thing without lines, hit some of IOA without lines then switch to the studio side before 11:00.
they will have some lines over there though.

the next day he could buy the epp once there and if the lines are over 20 minutes.

some of us here used to whine and complain about being the red headed step children of the dis.
ok ok , i whined a lot.

one night the tag fairy came and dubbed us Red Head.
it's a take off of what we were talking about.

quite a few of the regulars received the tag.
there are a few that received the tag as they came to post over here.
could have been the first time for them in the darkside....?

anyhoot, try as you may, only the tooth fairy can give the tag.

patster had a plea in his siggie for becoming a red head as he was absent that night and the second night the TG came to town here.
his plea was read by the TG and now he has the same red head tag also.
do what he did and put it in yourself and maybe it will be colorized by the TG.

 

[donaldduck352]

I remember,it took patster almost a year to get his tag.But he don't post much on this thread.I remember begging with '''s'' for a few months till I awoke one morning to 2 tags from the tag fairy.

 

[Mad Hattered]

Welcome to the newbies. I don't have a red tag from the fairy but I do bring food....(sorry, Minnie )

Saturday afternoon we took a short drive to check out a new Tapas bar named One 19 North for dinner. It was great!! On with the show...

Crispy Artichoke Hearts topped with shaved Manchego cheese served with a Spanish Romesco sauce

Grilled Asparagus with Romesco sauce and Manchego cheese

Greek Cucumber Salad with roasted red peppers, fresh basil and red onions, tossed in extra virgin olive oil topped with feta cheese

Pan Seared Jumbo Scallops topped with chorizo sauce

Grilled Tuna Filet served with a ponzu sauce and avocado slices

It seems we ate a lot of food but we split everything so we left there feeling very satisfied yet not overly stuffed and miserable. Oh yeah....we also had Pan seared Pork Carnitas with an Argentine chimichurri sauce, seared chunks of Mojo marinated pork shoulder. I was in food bliss and forgot to take a pic. It was the best thing we'd eaten that night. Here's proof....

 

[macraven]

damn those pictures of food look so good...............



i'm stuck tonight with a grilled cheese sandwich and beans.

 

[Mad Hattered]

Soooooooooo.....today we decided to venture out and go for a drive. We crossed the Mississippi river and headed north in Illinois. The sun was out so that made it appear warmer than the low 40's. I'll take that temp compared to what we've had!

I'd read about a little pizza place that's getting good reviews around here. It's called Peel Wood Fired Pizzas, and off we went. Got there around 3ish and had a 20 minute wait.

No problem, we ordered a couple of drinks. I had the Magic Hat #9 while Dana had the Stella Artois. We got a refill at the bar and were seated.

We split an order of Wood Fired "Fire Wings". They were made with crushed red pepper, parmesan, grey salt, basil, roasted garlic olive oil. They cook them in the 800 degree oven that they imported from Italy. They were pretty good. They were super crispy and hot and juicy in the middle. The heat slowly built and got hotter the more you ate.

We chose today's pizza special for our main course. It consisted of Romesco sauce, prosciutto, smoked gouda cheese, mozzarella cheese and fresh basil. It was awesome!!

Delicious!! The place stayed packed during our entire hour and half visit. And then I had Dana try to take of pic of downtown St Louis on the way home. Not too bad IMO since I was driving over 70
