bluezoo (for more lamb)

This dining experience took place on September 26, 2014

We continued on our quest for lamb at bluezoo. Nevie had never been, we started going to bluezoo a few years after her last visit. Again, most of the evening was spent just enjoying our dinner and the company – so no copious notes

Lunch with an Animal Specialist at Sanaa, Animal Kingdom Lodge

This experience took place on September 27, 2014

This has become a favorite of ours – typically the Animal Specialists are enthusiastic about their work at Animal Kingdom Lodge and the food is very good (a wonderful way to get a great sampling of the food at Sanaa). Since Nevie is now a

Culinary Demonstration with Emily Ellyn – Epcot International Food & Wine Festival 2014

This Epcot Food & Wine Experience took place on Wednesday, October 22, 2014

This was Walter’s first ever Culinary Demonstration. We expected beef but instead discovered that we were going to get chocolate! Again, the protein was changed but this time it morphed into sweets – wow.

Our Celebrity Chef was

UPDATE – South Korea – Epcot International Food & Wine Festival 2014

We revisited the South Korea Marketplace with Walter on October 22, 2014

We stopped in for more Kimchi Dogs with Spicy Mustard Sauce. These were even better than the ones we had a while back (here); more slaw and more mustard sauce. These are very tasty!

The Kimchi Dog is paired

Spice Road Table for more lamb!

This dining experience took place on September 26, 2014

If you remember Nevie’s lamb story (here), you’ll understand why Nick tried to think of all the places we could easily get lamb during her visit (other than the marketplace booths during Food & Wine, we hit those up early in the visit). Of

Japan – Epcot International Food & Wine Festival 2014

Thie Epcot Food & Wine Experience took place on October 22, 2014

There was one item at the Japan Marketplace that we really wanted to try. A couple of reasons: one, the early reviews of it were pretty positive and two, it sounded more interesting to us than the Spicy Hand Roll or the Teriyaki

Backstage Safari (in Nevie’s own words)

This time the trip report is all Nevie! We did this tour a few years ago with our friends, Asta and Mrs. Asta. No photos in this post because it all happens “backstage” (and no photos are allowed backstage)…

The tour began at the entrance of the park and after checking in, we entered to

Spice Road Table – Stuffed Grape Leaves v2

this experience took place on Sunday, May 4, 2014

On Latifa’s suggestion, we ordered the Stuffed Grape Leaves with extra capers and raisins…

These were so much better. The fried capers were a wonderful new taste experience (now we want fried capers on EVERYTHING). The pine nuts added a little bit of crunch
