That would have my attention too the name little fatty! Thank you for history.
The food demo looks good. Nice chicken dish but holy moly is he going to serve some chicken with that oil! Sounds like it works though! He is the masterchef!
Sounds like a great event.
Any pictures of the LE pins???
Yummy event! I'm impressed you make so many things at home. I wonder if it could be done with fish. Sounds like a tasty recipe.
No! This is so unlike you!
I had never heard of Tervis. Had to Google.
No restrictions this time?
Yeah, I can see how that would get old pretty fast.
How did it turn out at home vs what you had? (I get that you had too much oil)
Nice. Otherwise it's tough to follow.
Never heard of that.
I thought I might like it, but the rim of glass is too
Well it could only be used for food, no alcohol, so even more restricted. That's California for you!
It was still pretty good. Fran said we should have it again. And that's a pretty good compliment as I already have a few good Asian chicken recipes.
Yeah, they've been doing this for a while, Disney knows how to do it.
Until PIO told me to buy it, I hadn't either. I use it in a lot of things now. Especially when I'm making up a sauce on the fly, it gives a nice depth.
What a fun demo! Great that you got a recipe you liked so much.
That sounds good. I have to remember it and make it when Michael is here this summer. Did you serve any veggies with it? I guess broccoli would go with it very well.
I love reading about all your little adventures! Thanks for posting about them!
I think I served it with a marinated cucumber salad and mixed veggies (zucchini, mushrooms, onions, celery, red peppers, kinda whatever I had on hand.
Actually it said half a cup! I only used one chicken breast so I used 1/4 cup. Next time I'd use a tablespoon.
The rim is too... what? What?? WHAT??????
OMG! SHE'S FALLEN AND SHE CAN'T GET UP!!!!
Looks like I'm gonna have to try it, then.
Hmm.... must look. We have a good Chinese grocery store if the local place doesn't carry it.
Oh cucumbers would be wonderful. Unfortunately cucumbers are the only vegetable Michael won't eat.
I am actually getting a bit excited about having someone to cook for again! It is just far more fun to make an effort when there is someone to appreciate it than just for me on my own.
It was neat that you were there for almost all the weekends during the F&W and those demonstrations. The DCA F&W Festival this year was way better over last years and glad that there was a better selection from the kiosks, merchandise, entertainment, etc.
Your first demonstration that you attended was interesting. I am looking forward to more of the demonstrations you attended including the Robert Irvine one that we talked about.
1 tablespoon is still a lot of sesame oil to me. It's a very strongly flavoured oil and we tend to use it sparingly, mixed in with other oils. I'll be interested to see how you go wiith a whole tablespoon.
Nice write up on the first demo- may have to give it a bit of a try. I spent some of my summers around Santa Monica- my grandparents lived in the Pacific Palisades for 10 years, although I'm sure it's very different around there from anything I remember.
I don't know sweet soy sauce, but I do buy spicy soy sauce when I'm in a big city and there is a decent Asia grocery. Looking forward to more!
“They ran out of bacon.”
What??????
Seriously? We were about 4 hours into the Festival and already they underestimated the demand for bacon?
Every one of these items were fantastic! I had more of these over the course of the festival at least once if not more.
the “sour” in the sourdough was not the right taste for a base for bread pudding
Fran asked to have her picture taken with one of her favorite characters at the park.
As I was picking up my martini, Fran came over to the booth and made this preposterous statement. “They ran out of bacon.”
Nah, I just fell asleep mid post.
The rim of the glass was too thick. Feels strange to drink wine out of a glass like that.
So....did you?
Any luck?
we stopped to check out the signs for the festival to see if we missed anything from the online ads.
The first kiosk that I wanted to hit was Bacon Twist.
I went to the Olive Us booth for a martini.
As I was picking up my martini, Fran came over to the booth and made this preposterous statement. “They ran out of bacon.”
What??????
Seriously? We were about 4 hours into the Festival and already they underestimated the demand for bacon? They were expecting to have more bacon within about 15 minutes.
So we went to the Golden Vine winery which was right there.
Every one of these items were fantastic!
I had more of these over the course of the festival at least once if not more.
Unfortunately my PP pictures from this event never hit my account so I have no record of it.
On our way back we stopped at Sweet and Sourdough.
and I got a glass of Conundrum.
I don't remember much, not because they gave us too much tequila, but because it was two month ago and I've been to like 10+ demos since then.
We were giving Francisco some cat treats and a PP photographer stopped to talk to us. Fran asked to have her picture taken with one of her favorite characters at the park.
