Sunday’s adventure

Today I ventured down to Disney Springs for brunch with Julie and then we took a walk around the shops.

After brunch we took a walk around and it was so nice to be out around people. It wasn’t busy and everyone wore a mask. It was nice.

Flower and Garden Show

I met up with Candi for the flower and garden festival at Epcot and we had a great time. The food was much better than the food they had at the food and wine festival! The next post will have all the topiaries that they had on display- they were amazing!

Tiffin Lunch

So I decided to go to Tiffin for an early birthday lunch. It gets reviews as one of the best restaurants in the parks and I have to say I would agree.

I started with a duo of appetizers (and forgot to take a photo). It consisted of charred octopus and a spiced falafel. The falafel was served with a mint-pistachio pesto and some pickled vegetables. Both were really good!

For my main I had a crispy corn cake with chermoula- infused vegetables and a corn emulsion. It was even better than the starter! I finished the meal off with a cheese plate and a nice cup of tea.

A nice birthday treat!

Animation Experience

I have been wanting to try the animation experience at Animal Kingdom for awhile now and I managed to get a fast pass for 9:40 this morning.

Unfortunately the lines were so bad getting into the park (I guess it is spring break?) I almost missed it!

While I am not an artist- not bad for an accountant!

Now just a short wait before my lunch at Tiffin. Another place that has been on my list!

Food and Wine- Day 2

I was really looking forward to the macaroni and cheese, but I was a bit disappointed. It was loaded up with pepper bacon, cheddar cheese and leeks.
Food from Wine and Dine Studio. Seared scallops, truffled celery root puree, Brussel sprouts and wild mushrooms. Then a butternut squash ravioli with a brown butter vinaigrette, parmesan cheese and pumpkin seeds.
Trio of cheeses with wine pairings. The wines were a Reata Chardonnay, Rainstorm Silver linings pinot noir rose, and a spellbound petite sirah
From Brazil a Moqueca. Brazilian seafood stew featuring scallops, shrimp, and white fish with a coconut-lime sauce and steamed rice.
