Thanks Marsha and Linda

[luvdsny]

Thanks for hosting a chat for us. It was fun. And I hope we recruited another one...I think we've got FairyGF very interested and a wee bit excited about DIS-Con. We have a way of doing that!

Thanks again.........Can't wait for the next one.

 

[amid chaos]

I'm sorry I missed it. I took one of the kids upstairs to bed and fell asleep myself. sure hope there's going to be another one. Is there a transcript anywhere?

 

[disneycub]

Thanks Linda and Marsha for hosting and answering all our questions.

 

[BelleMom]

A big HOORAY for Linda and Marsha!

It was great to learn more about DisCon and to be able to talk to our fellow commandos!

 

[Towncrier]

Let's see:

250 registered guests for DIScon
$39 to add an extra day to the convention park pass
Lots of discussion of weather and wearing pants (except for Barry)
A thread about DIScon merchandise and "shrinkage"
Discussion of which characters will be at the breakfast
Linda promising to drop by every Wednesday night from now until DIScon unless she has a PTA meeting or next week when she has a trip to Cape Cod
Linda presented the menu for the Fantasmic Dessert party

Did I miss anything?

 

[luvdsny]

Wow TC!!! I am IMPRESSED with your memory.

I was just sitting here, thinking to myself, no nothing new to tell amid.

I think you covered it all TC.

I missed the menu bit, but I think I remember her saying something about Creme Brulee.....

 

[Towncrier]

I don't think that Linda ever said Creme Brulee. Just everyone else. Of course, I could be wrong. I remember her saying that the dessert buffet is "all you can eat" and that we should eat a lot. Not a problem for me.

 

[luvdsny]

See what I mean? The ONE piece of info. that I remember, isn't even DIS-Con info.

Silly me.

 

[disneycub]

I was the one who was mouthing off about creme brulee, and Livia chimed in.

 

[BelleMom]

I just said

I LOVE CREME BRULEE!

 

[disneycub]

Livia:

Jiko at the AKL has a Pistachio Creme Brulee that is to die for!!

 

[FairyGodfriend]

Hello again! That was a great chat last night and this lady is very excited about DIS-Con! And, even though I have never been to a DIS meet, or met anyone off the internet, ever, and there are 250 DIS-Con'eers...it's going to be a blast! Oh that dessert talk....dreams of creme brulee, chocolate treats, cakes...yum

Thanks to Linda and Mackey(and everyone else) for the information and "pep" chat! Adventurer's club sounds like a must see as does the costume party at the Fantasyland meet

 

[BelleMom]

(salivating)

yummy, Steve! Have you tried the butterscotch creme brulee at California Grill???? I have somewhere in my computer a copy of a thread with all the cremes brulees available in wdw.

 

[luvdsny]

Hi FairyGF.

I'm glad you came over here. Pull up a chair and stay for awhile.

And Livia, please pardon my ignorance here.....but what IS Creme Brulee??????

As I said in chat last night, all I know is that in the movie, My Best Friend's Wedding, Julia Roberts is NOT creme brulee!

 

[disneycub]

I'll answer for Livia, and she can correct me if I'm wrong:

Creme Brulee is a dessert, the consistency of a kinda custard, that is usually flavored with butterscotch, vanilla, key lime, etc. A sugar coating is put on top of the custard, which is then flambeed, and forms a sugar crust at the top.

Think of chocolate-coated sugar bombs, and you've got the idea. Buzzzzzzzzz!

 

[BelleMom]

Tia, let me see if i can really describe it.

Creme brulee means "burned cream". It is a cream made with eggs, very smooth, usually with some vanilla (the real stuff, mind you, not the essence). Before serving, this cream is burned with -- how do you call it? -- a blow torch. The upper crust gets like a hard caramel, warm, contrasting nicely with the cooler creamy underneath. This crust is sg like thin ice over a lake. Boardwalk Bakery has a wonderful creme brulee. The only problem is that it is not done when you order it. The vanilla is the classic one, but sometimes you find it embellished with oranges, pistacchio, coffee. yummy!

 

[Patinmn]

I had a great time too, even though I was a little out of it.

thanks again Marsha and Linda

See everyone soon

 

[NurseKim]

Sorry I missed the chat! So what kinds of desserts are we talking...besides creme brulee...

 

[luvdsny]

Thanks Livia. Sounds a little too 'elegant' for me. I'm a 'Jello' person myself. Well, I don't really care for Jello, per se, but I'm not a 'creme brulee' type of person. Am I just sinking myself here?

Okay, bottom line.....I'm not a big sweets fan nor am I big dessert fan. There I said it !

Tia, Tell me it is not so! Not a desert person! {Pumbaa_ is shocked and dismayed}
