Funny!

Even funnier!

This could be the funniest ... you actually wanted Buzz in the bathtub?

It was meant to be funny

Happened to be on the Dis this am and found myself on Trip Reports and low and behold "The Man Report" I've been waiting for this since last March. Love your trip reports. Just returned from the World 10/5! Hope the weather is better for you this week than last week!

 

[Montana Disney Fan]

Ok, a couple of replies then a Trip Report #3!!


First, Nikki, yes. Space Ship Earth is still down. So was Big Thunder Mountain.

Wiggles, the weather is great. A little hot and humid, but what they heck. We're on vacation.

LtP has been "wolfin" down string cheese left and right. I had a carb today. Ate my entire burger, bun and all, at Rosie's in MGM. LtP ate hers without the bun. She feels so good she doesn't want to ruin it.

Ok, if I forgot to respond to someone, let me know.

Now for the trippie.

~ The Man Report ~ ~ Drug Dogs & The Fry Daddy ~



In college, I didn’t own a microwave or toaster. I had a Fry Daddy.

While all my friends were “nuking” hot dogs and Top Ramen, I was deep fat frying a slice of Domino’s pizza. Mmmmmm….

You can deep fat fry anything… especially if it’s already been cooked. Take the Reuben sandwich for instance. Hold it with tongs (and an oven mitt if you’re smart), and give it a good “dip” for about a minute or so. Be careful as the moisture in the sauerkraut could cause the oil to bubble up and foam over the side (experience ).

The next time you come home late at night from the saloon and have a sack of Taco Bell burritos, take a minute, warm up that Fry Daddy, and dip a few. You won’t regret it.

When we go to Disney World, we stay in the two-bedroom units with a kitchen. We like the extra room and all the amenities. The only problem with these units is there’s no device for frying food in oil.

I have a saying: If it’s good, it’s probably better with a Fry Daddy “Dip”.

This year I’ve decided to remedy that problem by packing our Fry Daddy down with us. I purchased the smaller one which shouldn’t take much room in the suitcase. It’s about the same size as a box of Schwan’s Bagel Dogs.

My thinking is that instead of toasting our Pop Tarts, we could fry them. Instead of a popcorn snack at night, we could fry us up some chicken. And of course everyone’s favorite, the deep fried boiled egg, goes very well with German beer.

It just makes sense people!

Vacation is all about making life easier and enjoyable. To me, enjoyment is eating a deep fried meatball after a hard day in the parks.

Now, if only Epcot would get off the dime and set up that Amish Cheese kiosk near Morocco, I could purchase my 6 pound block of cheddar and fry up a hunk each evening.

You may think I’m nuts. LtP does . But if you take some Spicy Pork Rinds and grind them up, you can use it as batter (breading) for the cheese. It comes out of the Fry Daddy as a wonderfully delicious and crunchy little low-carb snack.

A few years ago I took a Hibachi with me on vacation. There’s nothing quite like good BBQ spare ribs cooked in your own hotel room. Of course, it’s best to do it on the balcony. You just have to be careful not to let the other guests notice, as they’ll turn you in.

A good trick is to put wet towels around the railing to help disguise and conceal your BBQ. Unfortunately, you can’t do anything about the smoke. What I do is light up a Marlboro and pretend the smoke is coming from that.

It works! People really aren’t that smart.

We’ve taken a computer printer with us on vacation before. What we did was take pictures then print off our own postcards and mail them out. Now we just email everyone. However, I believe LtP packed it in her suitcase for some class project for Loud Girl this trip.

We used to pack our own stroller everywhere until we became addicted to the “Double” Disney Stroller. This engineering marvel is like crack cocaine. Once you try it, you’re hooked for life. Sure it’s ridiculously expensive. What drug isn’t? Whenever we go to Disney we rent the stroller. I’ll be stuffing my kids in there when they’re in college.

We used to take our Unofficial Guide into the parks with us until a water bottle leaked in the backpack and it swelled up to the size of a basketball.

Baggies of Dishwashing soap and Laundry detergent used to be the norm until 9-11. After that we tired of drug dogs slobbering all over the contents of our luggage as the TSA agent rifled through our belongings in response to the “white powder” alert. Live and learn.

Gone are the days of having an entire suitcase stuffed with diapers. However, we still pack life jackets. Probably ought to get around to teaching everyone how to swim. :

If you think all that is strange, we’ve even taken Granular Chlorine on vacation with us so that we could “cleanse” the hot tub in our hotel room.

Last March, the four of us went to WDW with only one suitcase. We obviously didn’t take anything unless we absolutely had to. Heck, I wore the same pair of “stretchy” shorts every single day.

This year we’re back to two. They both weighed in at 49.9 pounds. Hopefully, one hundred pounds of crap will hold us.

Yup, we’re a little out there, but what the heck. You only live once. You might as well have fun while you’re able to.


Next Up: Pickled Pigs Feet. Good & Good for You.

Although I've never tried them, our local state fair has a booth with Fried Twinkies and Fried Snicker bars. Many people say they are awesome!!!

 

[Linnie The Pooh]

Goof, you're welcome. Getting Buzz out of the tub wasn't easy, but I did for the sake of everyone on here.

ILMickey- That's funny - I do have a subscription to Taste of Home. Moan Boy sits and looks through them at home. He calls them his "food books." I actually brought some in his backpack for this trip!! Great minds think alike!!

Blue-I bought more stuff today!!! Used Buzz's credit card while he was with Trey!!! Shhhh....

PIttypat-there are no ducks here but there are these annoying bugs!!! I don't know what kind they are, but some of them are stuck to each other by their back ends. Very odd. I killed about 500 of them at the pool today. Oh well, gave me something to do. Yesterday I took my book to the pool, but it got a little wet... Don't know how that happened...

 

[OhMari]

I think my arties just clogged reading the first half of your latest post.

Plus, don't DVC members get free life-preservers for the pool-along with your free pool hopping privledges?

Well I learn news things daily. I am enjoying your trip report. Can't wait to learn more though the man report.

 

[UtahMama]

Ok, if I forgot to respond to someone, let me know.

*cough, cough*... (sorry something in my throat).

You deep fry pop tarts? Really? I own a fry daddy. I just have only actually used it once or twice. Deep fried Domino's pizza? Is that even a food group?

I AM impressed your DW is managing to not eat carbs whilst on "holiday"...No funnel cake? no Dole Whip? no zebra domes? I feel "ill"!

Those are some smokin' hot black shorts! HoooWeeee, Baybee!


Well, keep it comin'. Yer goOoOd!

 

[Montana Disney Fan]

OhMari, you haven't lived until you've fried up some bologna slices. Then, spread cream cheese on them, roll em, and put a toothpick and olive through the middle. Mmmmm.... gooood.


Utah, yes LtP is doing even better than I am. We both weighed in right before we left so we'll weigh in when we get home and survey the damage. I'll bet I don't gain a pound and LtP will probably lose weight. This no carb thing really works. Oh, and deep fried pop tarts are the best but we can't eat them right now.


jnykly, deep fried Snickers bars are very good. However, my personal favorite is the deep fried Peanut Butter Cup.

Yes, but we stay off-site the first 5 nights and Cypress Pointe does NOT have life jackets.

Loud Girl jumping in the Cypress pool with her fancy Pink life jacket. The boy with her is her new boyfriend.

 

[AmyBWV99]

No carbs? Are you crazy? Man cannot live on protein alone! Besides, the best things in the world have lots of carbs:

Beer
Pizza
Beer
Pasta
Beer

The list goes on.

DH and I lost weight, too (35 for him, 25 for me) by running. When you run, you can eat almost anything you want and still drop pounds. It's just a matter of how much you run...

 

[Goofster57]

here but there are these annoying bugs!!! I don't know what kind they are, but some of them are stuck to each other by their back ends. Very odd. I killed about 500 of them at the pool today. Oh well, gave me something to do. Yesterday I took my book to the pool, but it got a little wet... Don't know how that happened...

Do they look like this LtP

If so it's Love Bug time

 

[FauntleroyFAN07]

Deep fried hotdogs are awesome too, just make sure you dont try and bit into them as soon as you get done cooking it, might burn your mouth. Learned that the hard way.


Also tried a snickers bar, but the chocolate melted right off down to the nugget filling and peanuts what is the secret to not melting the chocolate.

 

[dismom9761]

I just read your update to my DH and he agrees with you and says it all sounds delicious!

The pool looks like fun.We may need to keep Cypress Point in mind for our next family trip. With six of us its getting harder to stay in Disney resorts.

 

[Goofster57]

Buzz,
What color polish is that you are wearing?

Have you never run into Lovebugs before? Yup ... that's what they are! They be doin' the nasty~

Also tried a snickers bar, but the chocolate melted right off down to the nugget filling and peanuts what is the secret to not melting the chocolate.

Here is a recipe for Twinkies that is supposed to work for Snickers or Milky Way

For batter:
* 1 cup milk
* 2 tablespoons vinegar
* 1 tablespoon oil
* 1 cup flour
* 1 teaspoon baking powder
* 1/2 teaspoon salt

Chill or freeze Twinkies for several hours or overnight.

Heat 4 cups vegetable oil in deep fryer to about 375 degrees.

To make batter: Mix together milk, vinegar and oil. In another bowl, blend flour, baking powder and salt. Whisk wet ingredients into dry and continue mixing until smooth. Refrigerate while oil heats.

Those bugs creep me out!


I think her toes are black. I think that's the "IN" color for toes in Montana after Labor Day.


dismom, I highly recommend Cypress. The rooms are fresh inside but the outside is a little "worn". The pool is great! Winn Dixie and ABC Liqour are both close... PLUS, there is a Giardano's in walking distance.

It took us 12 minutes to get to MGM today. That's from parking spot to parking spot.


Faunt, I think the State Fair fried Snickers have some sort of breading on them prior to frying them.


Amy, we're on "low" carbs, not "no" carbs. Huge difference. I need my beer! However, I have to drink that low carb stuff.

We both used to run also but now we're old and feeble and unable to run anywhere except maybe to the toilet.
