Vacation Photos: Food

 

Just some food photos from our Disney vacation - some from the Epcot Flower and Garden Festival

S'mores cookies from the Earl of Sandwich - no notes 10/10

Lemon Meringue Croissant - 10/10 no notes 

All Star Movies Resort

Lemon Meringue Croissant with hot chocolate

Shrimp and pasta

Mickey Cinnamon Roll - pretty good but the dough wasn't the soft pastry dough

I'm a little biased because I make pretty good cinnamon rolls

Wookie Cookie - oatmeal cream cookie

Hollywood Studios - this was pretty good. 8/10

Buffalo Chicken Grilled Cheese from Hollywood Studios. This is the perfect lunch! 

From the Epcot Flower and Garden Festival - cheese croissant.

This was yummy!

From the Epcot Flower and Garden Festival - liquid nitrogen honey cheesecake.

It was pretty good

Breakfast Bowl from the All Star Movies resort 

Pull pork mac and cheese from Animal Kingdom - delicious 10/10

Brownie and cookie dough bar from Animal Kingdom - perfection!

As you can see, we ate well.

I found many of these treats on a Disney food blog - which I'm having a hard time finding again. But I was grateful that someone else had done the work.

Vacation Photos: Florida

 

Earlier this month, we took a trip to Florida to visit family and Walt Disney World

Here are some photos:

Fireworks at the castle

Hanging out with the delightful and funny step-sisters

The wait for this ride is 13 minutes

Another castle at night photos

Minnie Mouse

From the safari ride, one of my favorites 

The lions from that ride

Nemo show, which was really neat the way they created the depth

Elsa in the new parade

Minnie, Mickey and friends at the Epcot Flower and Garden festival

One of the flower butterflies

All the flowers -these were great to see because when we left CT, there was a LOT of snow on the ground

Belle and the Beast - I wish they had yellow flowers for her dress.

Cogsworth and Lumiere 

Tea cup garden - this was fascinating to see.

The flowers and Garden Festival was something I've always wanted to see. They had a smelling sensory garden, which was super cool and lots of food vendors. More on that later! 

Review: Tiffany Girl

 

Flossie Jayne, a beautiful budding artist who is handpicked by Louis to help complete the Tiffany chapel. Though excited to be an independent New Woman at a time when most of the fair sex stayed home, she quickly finds the world is less welcoming than she anticipated. From a Casanova male to an unconventional married couple and a condescending singing master, she takes on a colorful cast of characters to transform the boarding house into a home while racing to complete the Tiffany chapel and make a name for herself in the art world. - Summary from publisher.

My Thoughts: I really loved the first half of this book; it showcases a lot of work at Tiffany. I loved those moments. The second half of the book focused more on her relationships. Not that they were bad, but that I read this book for the Tiffany parts, and I wanted more of those. Instead, the second half glossed over her work.

How it influenced me: Because of this book, I make treks to see Tiffany windows in Nantucket while there on vacation. After reading this, I appreciated the windows so much more. I mean, they are gorgeous, but reading about the section of glass heightened the experience.  

Windows of St Paul's:

Aren't they stunning?

I love it when the book world spills over into real life.

Vacation Photos: Nantucket

We spent a long weekend with family on Nantucket.

Here are some photos:

Loving the views here 

Sandy dunes - reminded me of Anne of Green Gables 

A little chilly, but perfectly fine

Always spending time at the beach

The waves were very nice

Loved this on the wall of a building

All the pretty flowers

More flowers in a courtyard

The "Nantucket" photo

So pretty with all the landscaping

Until Next Year...
