The day before the meet-up for cocktails in the bluezoo lounge, we went over to nail down Nick’s Boulevardier cocktail. He’s been getting it since back last spring, but there was a lot of variability (that was due to the pursuit of the perfect Boulevardier) and the taste just wasn’t what he wanted. On the continue reading Charcuterie board at bluezoo (and experimenting with Boulevardier formula) … We were bound and determined to have the Fisherman’s Pie from the Ireland Marketplace this year… we were just waiting and hoping for a cooler evening to have it (you know, somehow fisherman’s pie doesn’t sound appetizing in the blazing Florida heat)… We’ve had this numerous times over the last 12 years, sometimes we’ve been continue reading 2013 Epcot International Food & Wine Festival – Ireland Marketplace – Lobster and Seafood Fisherman’s Pie & Guiness® Draught … Well, this was supposed to be a lobster dish with Ben Sergeant… it wasn’t. It was a lobster dish with a Disney chef (we were trying to avoid the Disney chefs this year, their demos just aren’t as good – we don’t consider Kevin Dundon to be a Disney chef, he’s Ireland’s Chef!)… Pam Smith continue reading 2013 Epcot International Food & Wine Festival – Culinary Demonstration – lobster “yes”, what we expected “no” … We recently had what I think of as our “big huge group for Food & Wine weekend!” Thankfully, the weekend ended and none were worse for wear… On Monday, the six remaining (Big Al, Judy, Harry, Sandy, Nick and I) went to Raglan Road for lunch. There were a few items on the menu that continue reading Lunch at Raglan Road on a Monday Afternoon … The Osborne Family Spectacle of Dancing Lights at Disney’s Hollywood Studios is amazing to see in person. Watch all the videos and look at all the photos you want, nothing compares to seeing these lights in person. There are many things that are better in video or photos: concerts, natural wonders and others immediately come continue reading Osborne Family Spectacle of Dancing Lights at Disney’s Hollywood Studios – First 2013 visit … Part of our intent in going over to the Epcot Food & Wine Festival on a Sunday evening was to see Christopher Cross Eat to the Beat Concert – we stopped for adult beverages at Hawaii as we were walking in (most of the beer went into the trash can) and headed up toward Japan continue reading 2013 Epcot International Food & Wine Festival – Florida Local Marketplace – Florida Shrimp Cerviche & Florida Cracker Belgian-style White Ale … Last Friday evening, we met Melissa (@melissisms) and Danny (@hyperionpapers) from Hyperion Papers and Sarah (@eatingwdw) from EatingWDW for cocktails at bluezoo lounge. We’ve gotten to know each other through blogs, twitter, and personal emails. Nick and I were the first to arrive and of course, we ordered a couple of cocktails… Nick’s continue reading cocktails and more at bluezoo with new friends … November 8 – 10, Downtown Disney hosted the 38th Festival of the Masters. This was our third year to attend. Because of the overlap with Food & Wine, we were only able to make it over once and missed things that in the program sounded interesting. With all the construction and fences, there continue reading 2013 Festival of the Masters at Downtown Disney … If you are of a certain age, you will know who Christopher Cross is. Judging by all the 50’ish folks we were walking toward the Epcot entrance with (at 4:50 – just in time for the 5:30 show), I suspected that they, like us, had decided to come out and see Christopher Cross. This was continue reading Eat to the Beat Concert – Christopher Cross – 2013 Epcot International Food & Wine Festival … We hadn’t planned on having the Mongolian Beef in a Steamed Bun… It just didn’t seem very interesting to us. Frankly, we don’t eat beef very often (although, it seems like we’re eating it more frequently in 2013 than we have in the previous 10 years!)… However, Sarah & Matt at EatingWDW gave it rave continue reading 2013 Epcot International Food & Wine Festival – China Marketplace – Mongolian Beef in a Steamed Bun & Tsingtao Beer … |
