When grocery shopping, I usually stop by the sushi counter to see what they got. This time I got a spicy tuna roll.
I get home and realize it is not avocado squeezed rather intimately with their raw tuna friends, but cucumber. I also realize that I should have read the ingredients before purchase, or looked more closely.
In any case, I happened to have an avocado and performed emergency sushi surgery. It was successful. Then I ate them all!
Don’t you just love it when that little blond kid in the Impressions de France film whispers, “patisserie” in awe to his friend? And you’re like, why is the friend picking the one with the stupid healthy fruit? Weirdo.
From Epcot’s Boulangerie Patisserie located in the France Pavilion:

*My new favorite dessert from there. Brought it home, microwaved it for 10 seconds to get the bread soft and the chocolate chips to melt. Ma chere!
Awhile back two friends mentioned seeing a pulled beef sandwich on the menu at one of the quick service restaurants at Animal Kingdom.
I love trying new food, especially Disney food. With 4 theme parks and over 20 resorts with ever changing QSRs, there’s always something new.
I was also a little inspired by the 100 Disney Foods To Eat Before You Die Challenge another friend posted on his FB wall.
So here it is: Disney’s Animal Kingdom - Africa - Tamu Tamu -#9 Slow Roasted Pulled Beef (Pita) Sandwich, $8.99
It was all right. The beef was really tender, maybe not as flavorful as I’d like. The cucumber, tomato and mint tzatziki sauce was a good complement, but I felt it overpowered the slight spiciness of the beef. Chips were just all right.
And to those guys who were getting just drinks, couldn’t you go somewhere else?
58/100
Disney likes their hotdogs. I like my hot dogs. But with so many food places to choose from, I won’t order just a dog anymore unless it comes with truffle mac n cheese and bacon.
My parents were in town for about a week and a half last month. It was nice to spend time with them and relax, but it was especially great to dine with them. My folks are foodies, and I love it. And here are just a few of my favorites.
1) Kouzzina by Cat Cora: Slow-cooked Lamb Shank served with Oven-baked Gigantes Beans and Lamb Jus
2) Manny’s Original Chophouse: 12oz Prime Rib (‘nuff said)
3) Citricos at the Grand Floridian: Warm Chocolate-Banana Torte with Vanilla IceCream and Handcrafted Belgium Couverture Chocolate Crown
4) Yellow Dog Eats: Mexican Mutt - “Southwestern chipotle wrap that holds wood smoked chicken or seasoned roast beef, fresh and sassy blackbean spread, shredded lettuce, local tomatoes, homemade chunky salsa, caramelized onions, cilantro sour cream, and a gourmet three cheese blend. Aye Chihuahua!” - YDE website
5) Seasons 52: Roasted Shrimp, Lump Crab & Spinach Stuffed Mushrooms under Parmesan-panko crust (appetizer)
Photo #1: If you look close enough, you can just make out part of an alligator in the center of the photo. If not, trust me, it’s there.
Photo #2: The sidewalk where I normally jog and the edge of woods/marsh/swamp whatever where I saw the gator (twice now). The gator is right between the two trees in the center.
Look at how close it is to the sidewalk! That’s like 10ft away! Look at the fence that is separating man and beast. Oh, wait…there is no fence. In the future, it will be me running in a zig zag trying to lose the gator after trying to get a better picture.
Took this picture this afternoon while driving home on Epcot Center Drive. A nice view of a streaky, but soft cotton-ish sky before getting stuck in traffic just 5 minutes later.
Best line of Gintama episode 243.
Even after more than ten years…awesome.
Told my friends and co-workers that Lost Girl was premiering tonight on SyFy. They asked if I was going to watch it, and said probably not, because I’ve already seen the first season and have other things to watch at that time.
But somehow I found myself automatically changing the channel at 10pm to SyFy.
Because that smile. Because that touch. Because that look. And I realized I cannot resist Zoie Palmer as Dr. Lauren.
