It's nice that the tropical storm isn't directly here but it sure is gray and the waves are kicking up.
I did this layout the last time I was down here- it's a good reminder of whats coming up.
I need to get though turkey day first which is a holiday I really enjoy, family time and wonderful food. I have no idea on the numbers we will have this year but the more the better.
Here's a preview of part of the groupo from two years ago.
I had my blog all typed up this morning and it wouldn't post so I just flipped out and left it. LOL No I didn't I had errand's to run and go see my cute chiropractor. Wash the car, take back a return and all the fun things that are always involved with departing.
I had a wonderful time with the girls and I haven't laughed like that in a long time. They even called and sang me a good-night Chinese song last night - long story.
Here's one from Disney with us with our Godsmacked Goddess Gathering shirts on - thanks Jules. One from Jules house and I have to say Gene's cooking was superb once again he even topped off the evening with homemade pralines.
We had a wonderful time and are worn out. Today we spent the day at Epcot and they were having an International Wine and Food festival. It was really interesting and we sampled and drank the most fun things, we finished off the evening at the German Restaurant for dinner
This picture is from our first night when my brother joined us for dinner.
It was a fast and fun filled day, we walked, rode, saw characters, some were Disney ones and some were tourists. It was a perfect weather day and actually at the end of the afternoon it was getting a little bit to hot.
So Jules and Clare took this picture of my license plate so if they got lost they could tell the police what car to look for, I actually thought that maybe it ould have been a little easier just to call my cell phone!
And where I can usually be found. Stay tuned for day two.
Looking back on the blog post below I noticed my rice picture is missing. I'm so sure that it will make a difference to anyone.
We just got back from a long walk and having breakfast at the Pier.
A little Sangria added in for the day also.
I just loved this store spices, mixes, salt, sugars ands teas. It's a heavenly mix of colors and scents - pure delight.
Then the opposite on the scents but what eye candy and heavenly smells.
The results of the day!
I did fix a good dinner :
Endive, baby spinach, feta cheese and balsamic dressing.
This is brown rice, shallots, cinnamon, ginger, fresh pomegranate seeds and roasted pistachio nuts, it was really good and we had grouper that Bob caught this spring on one of his fishing days.
We're taking good car of ourselves and getting ready tomorrow to head to Orlando.
We're all enjoying Clare so much and of course between the four of us there never is to many quiet moments.
Jeff keeps asking me to get some pictures around the house and I always forget so I went out tonight and took some.
The baking and cooking - my Key Lime Pie is done, roasted sweet potatoes are mashed and my rolls are in the bowl for the first rising. I need to get my stuffing started and get the chicken dressed. Not like Kitty dresses her chickens and Wendy I think this ones a girl but I would need you to identify that. LOL
So Halloween is over and the next holiday coming up is Thanksgiving so I'm getting ready. I figure that if it's an American holiday that Clare doesn't celebrate it in New Zealand so she needs to get a chance to here. I didn't buy a turkey though, it's pretty hard to use one up with just four of us so I bought a large roasting chicken instead.
Although there is only four of us I had to make the traditional desserts so I just took both of these out of the oven. I told my brother when he meets us for dinner Tuesday night to bring his cooler I'm going to be loading it with leftovers.
I spent over and hour and a half getting groceries today with all the recipes I have lined up for the next two days. Now I just need someone to be cleaning up behind me and I would be fine.
Be back tomorrow with more pictures!
