Hope you are having a great long weekend, Glenn. Happy Labor Day to you too.
Yep, it's been nice!
Goodness, I missed 3 updates
Glad you're caught up Jessica.
Looks like you all had a fun meet in DC. Liesa your hair looks great
It was a great time!
OH NO! Poor Judy! I don't do well on Mission Space either
The pictures you got in Norway are great. Love the picture of Marlene and the nose.
Such a family of comedians
She always told me she doesn't like spinning rides, but I pushed her to test it. Ooops.
Yeah, they hammed it up pretty good with the troll.
Your Biergarten meal looks like a lot of fun, we had considered dining there, but changed our mind at the sight of the menu... it's just not our type of thing. But the atmosphere looks like so much fun.
can't wait to see what's next.
There are a lot of other tempting places around the World Showcase, so I can see being lured away if the menu doesn't seem like what you'd really like.
I confess to having seconds. And putting the berries all over the top.
Confession is good for the soul. And seconds are good for the sweet tooth.
And OOH the recipe! here is what I found about Bakers Cheese
Baker's cheese is a fresh, soft, somewhat tangy cheese, in the cream-cheese, farmer's-cheese, fromage-frais, queso-fresco family which is to say, the fresh or unripened cheeses.
Some people will tell you baker's cheese is nothing more than cottage cheese that has been drained of some of its whey. Do not listen to those people. We side with those who say it is a cheese in its own right, made from skim milk (therefore lower in fat), and softer, with a finer grain and more moisture than cottage cheese. (Clearly baker's cheese would have less moisture than cottage cheese if it were simply drained cottage cheese.)
Needless to say, baker's cheese is hard to find. It has generally been available only to foodservice buyers. Only two sources at the Savor Wisconsin Web site sells baker's cheese, and if you can't easily find something like that in Wisconsin, where are you going to turn?
There are those who swear that a cheesecake made with anything other than baker's cheese is not a real cheesecake. Given the difficulty of obtaining baker's cheese, we can't afford to listen to those people.
In Britain, lactic cheese, Colwick cheese, and Cottager's Cheese (not to be mistaken for cottage cheese) are the closest alternates.
Which does not make it an easy baking prospect! Sigh.
Interesting....but I wonder where I can get it; I've never even heard of the alternates.
I think Dan gets points just for the diagram!
I think I gave him a half-point. So competitive!
Nice Biergarten review. How were you feeling after that beer flight? You didn't even mention the beers!!! Tsk tsk Glen. You're slipping
I was feeling pretty good!
You're right -- I should have focused a lot more on the beer in my review. I'd make a lousy Canadian!
Oh, I miss Biergarten! I wasn't able to convince anyone to go back this year.
No, the food is not my favorite, but I think we were all able to find enough things we enjoyed to fill up on. I absolutely love the ambience, though. And it really brings me back to childhood. I remember our meal there so clearly from my first trip with my grandparents in 1986. Ah, good times.
That's neat that it holds good memories for you.
I didn't have to do any convincing to go back...everyone wanted to.
Cynthia, where did you find that info on Baker's cheese? That's the problem with Disney recipes. They'll give them to you if you ask, but they're written for the commercial kitchen. It can be difficult to modify.
You're right. Although I've made the carrot-ginger soup and it's pretty easy.
First I would like to wish you and your family a Happy Labor Day as well. Just read that the last two updates and so sorry that Judy got sick. I think that's what keeps me off that ride. I have never been to Biergarten but would love to one day, just afraid the kids won't have anything to eat.
Thanks Laura! Before this trip I would have steered people to the Orange side, but now I say that if you think you might have trouble, you should stay with Green!
I don't think you have to worry about kids finding enough at any Disney buffet. There's always the standard nuggets and spaghetti, plus salads and chicken and all kinds of stuff. It's just a question of whether you want to spend buffet prices and have them eat that stuff that you could have gotten more cheaply somewhere else.
Google
You're such a good researcher.

And I'm very glad Judy could enjoy the meal too
Inspirational, huh? That's a first!

That's it, next year there's going to be a lunch at Biergarten, the trip planner commands it!
That's the way to do it! Being the trip planner has its advantages.
Actually, I can't imagine any reason you wood.
