Hi everybody!
I'd like to say welcome back to those of you who may be old friends jumping on board for our final food report of the year (or next year for that matter) and I'd like to offer a warm hiya to anyone who's brave enough to take this ride with me for the first time. Jay and I are harmless ... we just like to eat and drink and laugh ... a lot.
We've just returned home from 10 days at Walt Disney World where we ate and drank, but sadly, not to excess. I had planned a trip that would render both the hubby and me fat with food, but fate was against us (I blame Norway).
Who are we?
There's me - Oybolshoi (Brenda) - turned 38 on this trip and am, believe it or not, still something of a picky eater. I have all kinds of interesting chronic health issues - Crohns Disease, Endometriosis, Arthritis - that make daily life and travel with me a real joy. My philosophy is "just take the pain pill with an alcoholic beverage and you'll feel better that much sooner." I plan all the vacations because it's what gets me through the daily grind of real life working for the Soulless Dominions of Finance. I'm a frustrated wanna-be writer with a goofy sense of humor and a penchant for blowing every vacation budget the hubby has ever given me.
And there's the DH - Jason - the most patiently impatient person I've ever met ... laid back to the point of coma and possessed of a wicked sense of humor which includes a real gift for mimicry. His philosophy is "life is too short to eat bad food or drink bad booze" followed closely by "if the wife's happy ... everyone's happy." I'm not sure why he puts up with me but I'm lucky to have him.
Here's us ... because it's always nice to put a face with a name.

Sadly, due to illness on the part of the hubby, we didn't eat or drink as much as we planned at the festival booths, although we made a pretty fair attempt. We also canceled ADRS at Raglan Road, Flying Fish, California Grill, and Rose and Crown as well as a Food and Wine Pairing at Coral Reef ... you can only imagine how much it twisted my guts to cancel these ressies after months of salivating over menus at my desk during endless lunches of chicken noodle soup and raw carrot sticks, but there was no point in going if the man wasn't going to be able to enjoy himself.
Poor hubba ... he was such a good sport even though he didn't feel well, while I seem to have developed a tapeworm because I couldn't stop eating.
Stay tuned for Day 1, which will include Beaches and Cream, Kimonos, and the first of many visits to the Food & Wine Festival!!!
