So Tal and I went to Walt Disney World in Florida at the end of May.
We flew out of Bellingham to Orlando (connecting in Seattle), and the Disney fun started once we found the Disney Magical Express. We got a little lost in the airport but eventually found the check in and got on the bus and on our way to the Pop Century Resort.
We had 7 nights there, and it didn’t seem like nearly enough. I wish we could have stayed for at least two weeks.
I’ve discovered a new sport, CAT BOWLING! Isadore the cat is a very lazy and not very playful ragdoll. Trying to get him to be a little more playful I’ve started to bowl him down the hardwood floor. He actually doesn’t seem to mind, after I bowl him he gets up and comes over to be scratched. All I need now are some cat friendly bowling pins.
Since Tal got me a freaking amazing rotating waffle iron for Christmas I had been scouring the internet looking for the best waffle mix. Well I’m pretty sure I’ve found it.
Here’s the awesome rotating waffle iron that Tal got me:
ROTATING Waffle Iron
And thanks to Amazon.com I have 3 large containers of Golden Malted Waffle mix:
Golden Malted Waffle Flour
Now, I’ll tell you one of the reasons why I think this waffle mix creates the best waffles. One of the ingriedents is MELTED BUTTER! Melted butter is one of the best things on earth. Half the time when I order crab legs or lobster it is simply to eat something that I can dip in melted butter.
To conclude, this a picture of the waffle that I ate for dinner last night:
Ok, so I’m still stuck at home. I have 8 more days on crutches, 20 days until my lung surgery, and most importantly only 68 days until Tal and I go to Walt Disney World in Florida!
Since I have the time, lately I have been baking my own bread. With my Costco American Express rebate I bought a bread machine:
Sunbeam Bread Machine
I got the bread machine around the middle of February and have already went through I large bag of flour making bread such as this:
Bread!
It tastes so good, much better than store bought bread! I also have made Apple Walnut Bread with apple juice and apple sauce in the recipe, it was also amazing tasting.
This was my lunch today:
Strawberry Shortcake
Strawberry Shortcake from Trade Joes. Only $1.99! It’s hard to tell in the photo but it’s pretty big, big enough that you wouldn’t believe that it’s only $1.99. It tastes so good!
Let’s see what else. I also got a new bonsai tree a couple of months ago. I had one before but it died while I was staying at my Dad’s house after the car wreck. So Chantal and I found a new one at Safeway.
Bonsai!
Hopefully this one will live a while…
And what I’m looking forward to the most… Disney World!
Chantal and I will be spending 7 nights in sunny Orlando Florida at Disney’s POP Century Resort. We have been to Disneyland 3 times in the past 18 months and have had so much fun there, Disney World is like 10 times larger so we should have about 100 times more fun. We are even going to eat at Cinderella’s Royal Table inside the castle at the Magic Kingdom. I can’t wait!
I have no idea why they show a cowboy with a hat shooting moonshine jug on the packaging, I’m assuming they are trying to equate the high caffeine content of Mountain Dew to the kick moonshine.
And last, but not least:
Heritage Dr Pepper
Now, you may remember last post I was talking about ordering some Dublin Dr Pepper. Last week I received my order of Dublin Dr. Pepper and I can say that it tastes pretty damn good. But how does it taste compared to Heritage Dr Pepper? I have no clue, the Heritage is still cooling in my fridge, I’m not drinking warm soda. I’ll update this post tomorrow when I actually drink some.
UPDATE: I tried some Heritage Dr Pepper, and it tastes remarkably similar. If anything it is maybe a little too sweet compared to the Dublin Dr Pepper. Either way, they both taste good.
For closing, here’s a shot of the different cans of real sugar soft drinks that are currently inside my refrigerator:
L to R: Heritage Dr Pepper, Mountain Dew Throwback, Pepsi Throwback, and Dublin Dr Pepper
All that awesome sugar!
I also got a new deep fryer today, but that’s a post for another day…
