Bless her heart. So sad to think she could go through her whole life without experiencing the sublime pleasure of a hot KK.

I just had a box of Goobers, the kids had leftover pizza, and DH had leftover veggie calzone.

Yes I do, my 22nd birthday!
My best friend and I are meeting for coffee and then doing some shopping in the morning. Then my mom has something planned for the rest of the day. No party for me though, I'm super shy and don't really like parties that much. (unless I'm making the food for the party )/

Tonight I am making spaghetti and meatball stoup with garlic bread. Easy night for me. We ended up eating at Jason's Deli yesterday. Man I love that place!

We won!! We won!! DS's high school baseball team is going to State Championship tournament next Thurs & Fri, only four teams from the state in our district and we're one!! I'm so excited.
How Wonderful!!! Tell Kyle your Dis friends will be pulling for him.Our house this week is Fort Wilderness Cabins!
That sounds fabulous. Hope you have a great time.
Tonight our dinner is Lori's jambalya recipe. We have some leftover shrimp we didn't use to grill, so I am making it with chicken and shrimp.

Continuing my food report for Kathy:
Day Two:
Breakfast was the aforementioned Krispy Kreme doughnuts in the villa, with DD eating hers in the jacuzzi tub. Like her Mamma, she does like to pretend she is living the high life.
For lunch we stopped at one of our MK favorites, Columbia Harbor House. We arrived shortly after 11:00 and found the place nearly empty. The adults all got the fish baskets, DN got the combo basket with chicken strips and fish, and DD got the chicken strip basket. The fish was wonderful; crisp, hot, and flaky and not at all greasy. DN said the fish was her favorite from the combo as well. DD ate the chicken strips, but in what was to be a recurring theme for her, did not eat any of the fries. I wish I had followed the same diet plan, my hips would have been much better off for it.
Dinner that evening was Concourse Steakhouse. Our reservations were for 7:00, but the kids were starving before then, so we went early to see if they could seat us. When we arrived at 6:00, the host said he wasn't sure when we could be seated, but he gave us a pager which went off approximately 15-20 minutes later. I don't know if it was because we were dining so early in the evening, but the Chef Mickey's noise others have complained about wasn't an issue at all.
The adults all had the pan seared scallops for our appetizers. The dish was served as three medium scallops arranged around some mixed greens with a chili type dressing/sauce. I thought the sauce was a good mixture of flavors that went well with both the scallops and the greens. My only complaint about the dish is a common complaint I have when ordering scallops in restaurants - the scallops had not been properly dried before cooking. This resulted in the scallops having a watery taste which diminished the overall flavor.
The adults also all ordered the Filet Mignon with broccolini and we all substituted the bread salad that was to come with it for mashed potatoes. My filet was cooked perfectly and the gorgonzola butter that topped it was divine, the flavors combining in a way that makes my mouth water at the memory. The mashed potatoes were, well, mashed potatoes. The broccolini was good, if a tad overcooked, but it certainly didn't stop me from eating all of it.
For dessert, DH ordered the creme brulee which he pronounced the "best he has ever had at WDW". This is certainly saying something as on our last trip, I teased him by telling him he was on a creme brulee tour of WDW. SIL ordered the butterfinger cheesecake and I ordered the carrot cake, but we requested them to-go. Well, she forgot her dessert and left it on the table, so I split my carrot cake with her later that evening. The candied pecans were really good and I could have eaten an entire bowl of those. However, the cake itself held a surprise - it was made with coconut, and I really do not like coconut. SIL said she thought it was good, so I'm sure it was if you don't have a coconut aversion like me.
DN ordered the cheese pizza, garden salad, and make your own sundae. She ate one bite of the salad and said she didn't like the dressing. Not sure what it was, and I didn't think to ask. She loved the pizza and ate almost all of it. The ice cream she liked, but thought there should have been more of it. She, in her words, "loves my sweets" and felt that one scoop of ice cream wasn't nearly enough for dessert. BTW, she is tiny - must have the metabolism of a hummingbird.
DD got the cheeseburger with fries and make your own sundae. She wasn't interested in eating anything at all, and she was near the melt down point just before dessert, so I took her out before the ice cream arrived. We got a to-go box for her dinner which she ate about three bites of back at the villa.

Good morning ladies!!
Kyle got in at 2:45 this morning (bus trip from Monroe) and I've never seen him so excited!
This should be a very exciting week!!
Swimnoid - I hope you're having a wonderful time!
Gretchen -LOVING your detailed report!!!!!!! We are planning on going to Columbia Harbour House on our next trip for the first time. I'd heard really good things about it and your review confirmed that. Unfortunately we won't be able to fit Yachtsman in this trip, but it sounds soooooo good!
I'm trying something for the first time tonite - there is a famous dish that is sold here at the Jazz Festival every year called Crawfish Monica, it's very rich and definitely not something you'd want to eat frequently(very fattening) but oh so good. Our local paper had an article about it last week which prompted me to search for all the recipes for it and I found one that is super EASY. We'll have a spinach salad and cheesy bread with it.

Kathy ~ Congrats to your DS!
Jenny and MinnieM21 ~
It's DH's and my 12th anniversary today. He came home from work and left again while I was in the shower this morning so I haven't even seen him. Not sure WFD yet. I don't know if DH will be home by dinnertime so DS and I might be on our own. Maybe chili.

Hi everyone.......haven't posted in a while because we've been out of town. First our cruise, then we went to OK for some friends' wedding. Now back to reality!
Happy Birthday Minnie21 and Jenny!
Congrats to your son Kathy! HS athletics are so much fun. My boys are 15 and we follow local high school sports anyway but this year has been especially fun with them playing. Our varsity football team made the playoffs this year for the first time in 41 years. You should have seen how crazy the town went!
I haven't been cooking much since we've been on the go but I'm determined to get back in the swing of things. I'm trying to plan out our menus for the week. DH is working 7 12's right now. The $$ is nice but I'm having to chauffeur the kids around by myself and May is always a crazy month anyway. Tonight we're having Glynis' pot roast.

HI, ladies! Glad to see that everyone seems to be doing better today! I am making grilled chicken again. It's been marinating since Friday! Yesterday, we went to a Communion party and there was tons of food there - chicken cordon bleu, roasted potatoes, cotletti (Polish meatballs), roast beef, golambki (Polish stuffed cabbage) and my two favorites - mushroom pierogies and shrimp cocktail. Lots of great food. That is why today is grilled chicken and a big salad!
Happy Birthday Minnie and Jenny!!
