Ahh, I see a big difference now!! Yummy to the second one, but still is Tuna really all that exciting??

That casserole sounds really good!! Is that your recipe?

Disneyland's Blue Bayou Au Gratin Potatoes

3 lbs. potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
1 onion, thinly sliced
1 tbsp. Butter (for dish)
2 Cups heavy cream
1 1/4 tbsp. salt
1/8 tbsp. fresh ground black pepper
1/4 tbsp. fresh thyme leaves
2 tbsp. granulated garlic
1 tbsp. jalapeno pepper, finely diced
4 oz. parmesan cheese, grated

Mix potatoes, onions and jalapeno; place in buttered baking dish. Mix cream, garlic, salt, black pepper and thyme leaves. Pour mixture over potatoes and onions; cover.
Put in preheated 400 degree oven; bake for 1 1/2 hours or until pototoes are tender. Remove potatoes from oven; sprinkle with parmesan cheese. Return dish to oven uncovered and bake 10 more minutes or until brown.

OK good, I'm glad you could see the picture. And yes, tuna is VERY exciting. Vince says so!!!

No, the casserole recipe isn't my own. Actually, it's a pretty popular recipe. I first saw this recipe in a Taste of Home magazine. The recipe in the magazine is actually made with asparagus, but I decided to use broccoli instead. I later found out that most people make this dish with broccoli.

Oooh, thanks for posting that recipe. I've been looking for a good au gratin potatoes recipe. Can't wait to try it one day!

 

[wdwnut4life]

thanks tigger!! glad some others here like svh!

 

[tiggerfan1]

thanks tigger!! glad some others here like svh!

You're welcome! Oh, that's what you meant!! I was wondering what you were talking about. Yup, we love our Sweet Valley here. I've never read any of the SVH books, but I was a BIG fan of the Sweet Valley Twins books. Some of the other Unicorns are also big Baby-sitter's Club fans. Feel free to stay and chat with us. Who was your favorite SVH character?

Here's another good recipe. This chili is pretty spicy if you make it as written. My family and I can't take things too hot, so I omit the jalapenos. I know, that's some sort of sin, right?


Cha Cha's White Chicken Chili (from allrecipes.com)


1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, crushed
1 (4 ounce) can diced jalapeno peppers
1 (4 ounce) can chopped green chile peppers
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
2 (14.5 ounce) cans chicken broth
3 cups chopped cooked chicken breast
3 (15 ounce) cans white beans
1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese



-Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium-low heat. Slowly cook and stir the onion until tender. Mix in the garlic, jalapeno, green chile peppers, cumin, oregano and cayenne. Continue to cook and stir the mixture until tender, about 3 minutes. Mix in the chicken broth, chicken and white beans. Simmer 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

-Remove the mixture from heat. Slowly stir in the cheese until melted. Serve warm.

I am here, but my kids are in school!! They have to make up a day, so today was it!! I hope everyone is having a wonderful day!! Omg, I died laughing this morning when I saw the Slap Chop commercial!! It is so funny because now when I see it, I see it in this whole other light! LMAO!!

Okay, my work is done here!! LOL

You did good work with those!!!!

Hey, Soarin. I totally forgot to quote your post! Sorry about that. I hope you had fun at DHS.

About all those check-ins........ And even more are coming??? I hope you get a break from all the craziness. Hang in there.

Nice siggie addition, by the way.

That's ok- I forget to quote certain posts at times. We did have fun at DHS (it was me and two suitemates). We ate at Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater. I don't know why I've read so many bad reviews of that place, because it was so much fun!!!!!! The atmosphere was amazing and we had the best server ever, so that added to the experience. I had the Italian Grilled Chicken Sandwich and fries- the sandwich had bruschetta on it in place of a sauce. Perfection on a ciabatta bun!!!! And my cherry Coke was phenomenal..... so yeah. We did Voyage of the Little Mermaid (first time in 12 years since I'd seen it so it had changed), then my suitemates went to Fantasmic while I did Rock 'N Roller Coaster. It was worth the 45 minute single-rider line wait (the stand-by was 80 minutes!), as always.

What HOTTIES!!!
Ahh.. I love this thread. Hot men, parties, fabulous Unicorns..

What more could a girl wish for?!

I know, right?? It's fabulous!!

OK, here is all the Unicorn news that's fit to print.

-We STRONGLY suspect that Jenny's work crush has a crush on her!!!

-Creepy Elvis guy has been leaving Jenny alone. In fact, he seems to be avoiding her. Thank goodness!!

-Jenny informed us of the new Earthquake attraction at Universal Studios featuring The Rock. (I HAVE to see that!!)

-Jacoby 46 (aka Mrs. Ellsbury here on the UC thread) got pretty sick the other day. Her daughter has been sick, too. Please keep them in your prayers.

-Jacoby 46 (Mrs. Ellsbury) made a new Jacoby button siggie like Soarin's.

-We started posting silly signs and funny videos (starting on page 102). I posted some clips from Perfect Strangers. Remember that show? You gotta see the Balki music video!!!

-Honu had some great ideas for Unicorn T-shirts. (page 106)

I think that's pretty much everything. I hope that I didn't leave anyting out. You already know about Honu's big news, so I think that you're all caught up.

Tig, you need to be our reporter. You sum up all the major news and happenings really well.

Chopped tuna can make a HUGE difference in a person's life!!! Why, the Slap Chop will take your tuna sandwich from this:

to THIS:

Now THAT is what I call a tuna sandwich!!!!!

Hey Mouseears!! Good to see you here and glad you could join in the fun!! I have a special pic just for you.

I second that- glad Mouseears made it on over. And that's another lovely GB picture.... *swoon*

We certainly didn't have 600 check-ins today. It was pretty dead. Thankfully. Now I have two days off!!! And it was so funny, I was texting Honu on the bus ride home, and next thing I knew, my phone was vibrating and it was her calling me since she couldn't text and drive. We talked for over two hours!!!! My ear is hot and red!! I've never been one to talk on the phone much but I loved talking to her. We talked about pretty much everything under the sun. And know I'm doing philosophy homework and waiting for it to be 9pm so I can listen to Glenn Beck on the radio. I hate philosophy. I don't think this deep.

I see your Jacoby and raise you two GB's!

Fantastic!! That sounds like an awesome way to spend the day!! My daughter used to love the Little Mermaid and I always went with her to that attraction, but now that she is 10, she doesn't want to go so much I will have to try harder to convince her! LOL I love the Sci Fi Theater and I don't understand the terrible reviews either! My family always has fun there and I love how you can watch those cheesy sci fi shorts while you eat!! So much fun! Okay, I am still jealous of you and all your Disney fun!

Isn't it great that Mouseears joined us!! More reason to have a party, two newbies have joined us today!!

I'm going back to DHS tomorrow morning so I can ride Rock 'N Roller Coaster for the 50th time. And get breakfast at Starring Roles Cafe- I love their chocolate muffins!!

 

[Soarin08]

Dang, you're leaving me?? Oh, well. I'll wait around for Honu. She said she'd be online later. She's already talked to me enough today, though. Just kidding. I could talk to Honu all day. And the same goes for the rest of you guys.

to the Unicorn Club, Mouseears4life!!


Don't worry, all the food in the pictures is fat-free, sugar-free, low-calorie, and low-carb. I promise!!!

Oooh, thanks for the Sci-Fi review. My family and I had an ADR for that place on our last WDW trip, but we had to cancel it at the last minute. We were a little hesitant about eating there after seeing some of the reviews, but we still wanted to experience that place at least once. That Italian chicken sandwich sounds great! I'm glad you had a great time at DHS.

Tig, you need to be our reporter. You sum up all the major news and happenings really well.

Awww, thanks!

I'm so glad that you got a break from all the craziness. It sounded like you really needed it. Yay for having two days off!

I dub you and Honu the "Chatty Cathys" for the day! I'm glad you guys had fun gabbing. Having trouble in philosophy? No worries! Hang out here on the UC thread when the gang is all here. Hot guys, parties, work crushes, food......... you can't get any deeper than that!!

Fantastic!! That sounds like an awesome way to spend the day!!

Awww, too bad your daughter isn't into the Little Mermaid that much anymore. Well, maybe someday she'll like it again. Tell her that there are lots of cool, adult DISers who still like the Little Mermaid. Maybe that will get her interested in it again.

Cool, another Sci-Fi fan! What do you like to eat there?


And yes, yay for the new member! We definitely need to have a party soon.

for the Glenn Beck pics!!!!!

I'm going back to DHS tomorrow morning so I can ride Rock 'N Roller Coaster for the 50th time. And get breakfast at Starring Roles Cafe- I love their chocolate muffins!!

Have fun!

Where is everyone tonight???

Here.... some bait....

Many thanks for all those pictures, my friend. I'm still drooling. *sigh*


No wonder I felt drawn to the UC thread tonight. I wasn't going to come on the DIS again till tomorrow. Big surprise. The person who took the bait also happens to be the BOY-CRAZY, needy, sexy Unicorn.





OK, let's get our chat on!! I can only stay on for about an hour or so, but we can still have lots of fun.

 

[Soarin08]

Yayyyy, Tig is here!!!! arty: I'm done with homework- whatcha want to to talk about?? I've gabbed enough today- my throat was dry by the time I reluctantly got off the phone with Honu. Sure made my bus ride home a whole lot more enjoyable....

Awww, what a welcome! I'm glad you're here, too! As for what to talk about.....hmmmmm. We can chat about any sort of fluffy topic: guys, food, guys, clothes, guys, WDW, guys, Disney stuff in general, guys......um, did I mention that we can talk about guys, too? We can also share silly signs and videos. If you'd like to discuss deeper matters (including politcs) we can chat by PM, if you'd like. Don't worry, I'm not really as ditzy as I may seem. Oh, before we decide, I need to post something that I should have posted before. Hold on for a minute.
