At the end of all meals the option for dessert comes into question. Well, I have now come up with a dessert that is much like the Onion Blossom. No, it is not an onion, it is an Apple Blossom. The recipe is now in its final stages. It will be added to the other great recipes that all will soon be able to enjoy. I am sure you all want to know what it is...
Well, here you go: take an apple and bread it, then coat with brown sugar and caramelized nuts, cook it and then serve with vanilla ice cream and a homemade carmel glaze. It has been in the test kitchen for a couple of weeks and by the end of the week it should be finalized. Hope that you all will enjoy!!!!

Disneyland Cont....
Lets get right to it.... Next to the two parks there is an area called Down Town Disney. After getting through the bag check stands and heading down main street you come across restaurant row. There is a great little Italian place to eat. This is the inspiration for this round of entertainment. The food served was well put toghter. From the plate presentation to the subtle flavors that brought all of the food together. My family and I had ordered a pizza that was cooked to perfectionf and of course pasta, how could you go to an Italian place and not order pasta. The pizza was topped off with beautiful fresh made bree cheese and sun dried tomatoes. None of the ingredients were over cooked and the pizza sauce had been made with the right blend of sweetness and tanginess. Now for the mouth watering pasta. The pasta was cooked just right. The pasta sauce was the same blend as the pizza sauce with oregano and fresh basil that set it apart. Be sure to take time out of your day to stop by and eat. Try to go during the off times to eat. They, I am sure, are busy during normal lunch and dinner hours. Just to let you know, Down Town Disney is open to anyone. That means people that are not going to the parks can go and enjoy great food.

So, I Am A Food Snob.....
I love to eat.
I went on vacation to Disneyland and California Adventures recently. I was looking forward to eating at some new places....
At Disneyland there are not very many places to eat or get great food. There is one place that stood out and had great food. We will get to that in the next blog.
During my time at Disneyland I had the chance to eat at the Tomorrow land terrace and a quaint Mexican food restaurant near Frontier land. I feel the latter is a good place to start. With the volume of people that the park goes through each day one would think that the food served would be hot and fresh because the turnover of food is so quick. The park could do a much better job at making this happen by not over loading their service shelves with food. As far as flavors go, I understand that because the park is serving a wide variety of people, including kids, they need to be some what mild. Especially with the spiciness of the dish. But, there should be a salsa bar or at least cilantro and limes that the eater could put on the food to make the final touches and change the degree of spiciness. Not being impressed by the taste of the food, I should have waited to eat outside the park instead of paying an outlandish price for about 1 oz. of beans, 1 oz. of rice, and a small grilled chicken. Keep in mind one can get a whole grilled chicken from El Pollo Loco for about 1.99 plus tax and for five dollars you can get this same meal I had at the Park. But, the park eater will be putting out a staggering $10.00 for this meal. If at all possible bring in your own food. Or, take time out of your day to find a local place to eat. California has many places with great food but not always the best health department standards. Just be careful and if you can not see the rating of the store, be sure to ask.
