Ok I am finally caught up!! your Remy dinner looks amazing!
I love the cocktail that they prepare for you at Remy dinner. It’s called a Collette. This is the recipe. Though I took pictures of our waiter Stephan during every step of the preparation, I will spare every single picture.
Collette Cocktail
1/2 oz. Grey Goose VX
1/2 oz. Grand Marnier Paris Edition
4 oz. Taittinger La Française
3 Cassis Pearls
2 Dried Pineapple Cubes
In a martini glass, place Cassis Pearls. Pour Grand Marnier, add champagne and vodka. Finish with dried pineapple cubes.
Thanks for the recipe for the colette. Although I probably will never make it myself, I did enjoy it very much.
After reading the name (which I found on a
Disney Cruise Line Blog), I became curious as to what the heck that meant. So I looked it up.
The siphon is an indispensable accessory in the kitchen for making good mousses, various pastries and Chantilly, creamy creams or tasty verrines for aperitifs or appetizers .
So evidently the fois gras is made into that creamy stuff, and then they put macadamia nuts in it. I imagine at least one of you are saying, “Blech!” But it wasn’t bad at all. I actually liked it!
I loved the foie gras siphon!! It was very rich without it being too rich since it was in mousse form. Then again I have not met a foie gras I did not like.
Fran had Sablefish, which she liked very much.
Sablefish was one of the best things I ate at Victoria and Albert's last year. Yum.
Oh wow this looks delicious. I love gnocchi but only when it's made well. These look divine.
I was served Halibut, and here’s where the chapter title comes in. This is where I regretted eating lunch. I took one bite, it was delicious, and I couldn't eat another bite, I was just too full.
Oh no I'd be so sad. I'm sad you had to skip the cheese course too. That was my favorite part!
That dessert looks super cool!!
We planned on having breakfast in Royal Court right when they opened, since i missed it yesterday.
I really enjoyed Royal court breakfast and wish we were able to go there more than once.
And a side of bacon, but you would have thought she said a side of pig with the portion they brought her. (It looked bigger in real life)
MMMMMM Bacon.
Cute tank top! I have seen those before!
I love this picture! It's super cute!
Then last Wednesday we got some very bad news. Remember I mentioned that we had an investment that was selling and we were supposedly making 25% over our initial investment? Well the buyer lowered their offer. Substantially. The original offer allowed us to buy a car, finance the remodel of our old place and beef up our savings account. The reduced offer barely covers our monthly mortgage payment. So the property managers are back to square one, seeking out new offers. Instead of receiving a nice payment next week, we get nothing. Even if an acceptable offer comes in tomorrow, escrow will take 30 days. Our “Pay in Full” date for the Panama Canal cruise is June 29. It's an expensive trip, and without that extra money in our bank account I can't justify spending money we don't have, so the Panama Canal cruise is off the schedule.
Oh no sorry you have to cancel your PC cruise.
But I'm sure you will find another time to go on it.
As soon as that is done we can plan some kind of trip. As silly as this sounds WDW may be the cheapest option. Our APs are paid for, DVC as well, we have just enough frequent flyer miles to get a free flight, so the only expense is food! But we'll have to see, first we need to finish up moving and get the place under renovation!
YAY! Hope to meet you both this fall!
I love the bread service at Palo. So yummy!
YUM
Palo dinner looks amazing! I really really want to try this souffle.
Then they served us the Limoncello digestive aid. This really works to settle your tummy and make you feel less full.
I like a nice limoncello after a rich meal
Even the hot chocolate foam patterns were Star Wars related.
That's awesome! I like how they added a few extra touches this year with the SWDAS.
I went back for another Mickey waffle and a roll so that I could make a Sopracetto sandwich for lunch.
That's a good idea! That sandwich looks yummy.
Even the bars were decked out in Star Wars gear.
Love it!
Great skirt!!! Love this picture of you both and the droids!!
I love this pic too!
That's awesome! We did not have the speeder on our cruise.
I have this cooler too!
I am not a fan of the
Disney Cruise pizza. Taste is very bland and usually quite soggy. OK in a pinch but there are much better things to eat I think.
Our next delight was a Strawberry dessert, almost like a Strawberry oreo with merengue as there were wafers and Strawberry parfait filling. On the top was a Meyer lemon zest and a citrus leaf, it smelled very herbaceous almost like basil. Then they poured a pure and strained strawberry juice reduction around it.
Ooooh that looks divine. The dessert tasting looks really yummy. I will have to try that on another cruise if we're ever on the Fantasy again.
I think was probably the coolest restaurant to be in for the SWDAS as they had all this cool stuff displayed on the screens.
We were in AP for our SWDAS as well. They just had the logo on the screen, but looks like you guys had some sort of montage? That's really cool, and I agree AP is the best restaurant for SWDAS.
It looks like some sort of collage? Did they change the pictures up?
While I was back in the room suffering, she did get a final picture of our servers.
I love how they have new uniforms for SWDAS! Our servers didn't have them last year.
I wonder if they will do that for Marvel Day at Sea!
Great updates, sorry it took me so long to catch up. Getting excited again about our cruise in October![/QUOTE]
