THROWBACK THURSDAY! Me and Darth.........

Just hanging out with Darth Vadar, November 2019

 

Wordless Wednesday!

 

TINKERBELL TUESDAY!

 

SPACE 220 RESTAURANT AT EPCOT TO OPEN THIS FALL!

 This is something I have been looking forward to for a long time!!  Two trips I had planned on making reservations for it, and it didn't open and didn't open, and so on.  

Now the news is finally arriving that it will be opening before my next trip at the end of November.  Fingers crossed, right???

The Patina Group, which also owns Morimoto Asia, The Edison, and Maria & Enzo's, Enzo's Hideaway, and Pizza Ponto at Disney Springs, is now aiming for a Fall 2021 opening.  

the Patia Group has been hiring staff for the new location in Epcot which will be located next to Mission Space.

As of course so many delays were caused by the COVID-19 Pandemic, this was just another project to suffer from this issue.  That being said, construction delays due to glass issues were at the forefront of said delays.

Information from the statement on the My Disney Experience site states:

"A Stellar Adventure

Embark on the ultimate culinary exploration from this new expansion of the Mission: SPACE pavilion.

Step inside Space 220—a celestial panorama of a space station—for a delicious meal! As you dine, peer out and enjoy amazing daytime and nighttime views of Earth from 220 miles up.

Going Up and Dining Out

To begin your journey, board a special space elevator that will ascend to the stars! Along the way, viewports will give you an aerial view of Epcot as you travel high above the planet.

Upon your arrival, you will dine from a menu featuring modern American cuisine, more than 1,000 bottles of the world’s finest wines, and a wide selection of craft beer."

Right now, there is no posted menu on the site.  It just states, "Unique Themed Dining".  

As soon as I get information about the menu, and when they will start taking reservations, I will be posting it for you, and for myself!

Join me again next week for another FOODIE FRIDAY!

FOODIE FRIDAY! Quiche Pie Shell Recipe from Walt Disney World!

 I am a lover of quiche.  I love all kinds and have my favorites, but today, I am going to share with you a recipe from one of my many Disney cookbooks.

This recipe is from my Cooking with Mickey Around the World.  

This is the recipe for a great pie shell I use for my quiche when I make one.  

Yield - 1 9-inch or 2 4-inch pie shells

1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup shortening

1/4 cup VERY cold water (I actually put a couple ice cubes in some water as I am working and then I take the water from that).

Blend flour, salt, and shortening with a pastry blender. (I have also used a food processor with great success).  Add water and stir with a fork until the mixture forms a ball.

On a lightly floured board, roll out the dough to fit a pie plate(s).  

Make edges as high as possible.  

For unbaked pie shell(s), set aside for filling.  For baked pie shell(s), bake at 350 degrees F for 12 minutes.  Do not over brown.  Remove from oven and cool on a rack.  

I hope you find this as easy as I do!! 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DONALD and MY DEAR HUBBY PAUL!!

 

FOODIE FRIDAY! Puffed French Toast from Disney!!

 Something a bit different today!!  Here is a recipe for Puffed French Toast that was available at the Crystal Palace in Magic Kingdom.  It's very yummy, and not all that difficult to make.  

• 2 whole eggs
• 2 1/2 tablespoons sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups milk
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 1/2 tablespoons baking powder
• 8 slices Texas Toast (or other thick-sliced bread), cut in half diagonally
• oil for frying
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1 tablespoon cinnamon
• Optional toppings: powdered sugar, maple syrup, fresh fruit, fruit preserves, whipped cream

1. First, pour the 3/4 cup sugar and 1 tablespoon cinnamon into a shallow glass dish. Stir well and set aside.
2. Next, cut each slice of bread diagonally into two triangles (making a total of 16 triangles).
3. In a large bowl, mix eggs, remaining 2 1/2 tablespoons of sugar, vanilla, and milk with whisk until well blended. Slowly add the flour, salt, and baking powder and stir until lumps are gone and the batter is smooth. It will appear similar to pancake batter.
4. Heat 1-inch of cooking oil in a deep frying pan. Test the oil by dropping a tiny bit of batter into it, if it begins sizzling it is ready.
5. Now, before you begin you may want to form an assembly line to make it easier. Here is the order: the plate of bread slices and batter on one side of the stove, near the frying pan. Then on the other side of the pan (for after frying) place an empty plate with a layer of paper towels, the dish of cinnamon sugar, and another plate for serving.
6. Take a bread triangle and dip it into the batter, turning to coat both sides. Then carefully drop it into the hot oil. (Please be warned! This cooks extremely fast. Do not step away from it or it will burn.) Using kitchen tongs, flip the bread over as soon as it puffs and turns golden brown. Once the other side has cooked, remove it with your tongs and place it on the empty plate with paper towels to let it soak up any excess oil. Then quickly move it on over to the dish of cinnamon sugar and roll it or sprinkle with your hands until completely coated. Now move it to the serving dish/plate. Repeat for all slices of bread.
7. Once all bread has been fried, sprinkle with powdered sugar, serve on individual plates, and top with warm maple syrup, fresh fruit or preserves, and whipped cream.

I hope you enjoyed something a little different today for FOODIE FRIDAY!
