Nora continue reading Eat to the Beat Concert – The Orchestra with former members of ELO … This was our third demo of the day, our 2nd Culinary Demonstration… When we were seated, we noticed that there was no water on the tables (first time), at 4:59 they begin to bring out pitchers of “fresh” water.

Chicken (average store bought stuff) is flavorless. You can give it any flavor you like. Plus it cooks quickly, especially if the pieces are small. Greece had a great opportunity to make something memorable… Instead this was dry, continue reading Chicken Souvlaki – Epcot 2011 Food & Wine Festival … A Greek Salad is very easy to make. If you use good quality kalamata olives and feta cheese you can create a very satisfying “mouth feel”. The Greece Kiosk did a nice job with this salad and are using good quality olives and feta. The problem though – it was a tiny portion.
