Hi friends!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You may have remembered some time ago I mentioned that we were making some new changes to our site. It has been a lot of work, but I think we are nearing the end.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
There is still some organizing to do and a few kinks to figure out and then I think we will be done for a little while.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am hoping that we will have the site set up so that when you come to the blogger site it will automatically take you to the new site.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I probably won't be blogging for a little bit. I need to clean things up at the new site for you.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I hope you are all doing great and having a wonderful week!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I can't wait to have you all over to our new "place"!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Last time Brian and Katie were the only two that braved Expedition Everest. Ian was too small and I was too chicken. </div>

This time we all went. One time was enough for me. The rest of my crew went a second time and they tried to go a third, but they had to stop the ride because it started storming.</div>

Brian was the only one that went on Primeval whirl. Last time Katie and I went on it. I remember having to stop and rest for a moment not a fan of rides that spin. Katie doesn't like spinning rides now either. I'm not sure why Ian didn't go, he probably just needed a break.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We also did a few other things.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Fining Nemo Musical (this was good, but geared more towards the younger set).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Dinosaur ride. This isn't a roller coaster type of ride, but it can be a little scary. If you have little ones you might want to reconsider.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We also went on one of the trails I think it was the Discovery Island, but I could be wrong it might have been Pangani. Don't miss out on the trails lots of cool things to see.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The one bad thing that happened this day is that it started to storm and there really was no place to go. We were heading out of the park, because we were done for the day. We got soaked, and I mean soaked, everything was wet. My phone even got wet and it was in our bag (it's fine). It was a major downpour. Regardless, we had fun and we were done for the day anyway.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Animal Kingdom is a great park, it's a great mix of rides and animals. We highly recommend it.</div>

Unfortunately I don't have many photos of dinner. Ian, Brian, and I all decided on the three course meal. Lobster bisque is what Ian and I choose, it was a red base with nice pieces of lobster and absolutely delicious. Brian had the french onion soup and said it was excellent. For our main courses Ian had the Macaroni baked with cream and gruyere cheese. He really liked it, even though it was not like typical mac and cheese. Katie had the Seared Scallops and Shrimp served with mushrooms and potatoes cooked in a lemon broth with bacon, carrots, and coriander. She said it was the best thing she has ever eaten. Brian and I had Broiled Salmon with smashed potatoes with butter and chives served with a tomato and red pepper sauce. We both agreed this was the best salmon that we have ever had. Then for dessert Katie had creme brulee, Ian had chocolate mousse, Brian and I both had Puff Choux with vanilla ice cream and chocolate sauce. Yum Yum!</div>

I sent Mr. Young back to work this week with salads full of all sorts of fresh veggies, spinach, croutons, and chia seeds. My problem was I needed to come up with salad dressing that wouldn't offend his co-workers (death breath).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Honey mustard sounding like a good option, and I found Alton Brown's recipe. This recipe is really good plus it is super, duper easy! You can use this on your salads or use it as dip for chicken. If you are going to use it as a dip you may want to cut back on your vinegar, so you end up with a thicker dressing. I hope you love it friends!</div>

One of the reasons we have such a great time at Disney World is because we have a plan when we go. We really like using <a href="https://www.tourguidemike.com/">Tour Guide Mike</a>. You can get all sorts of great information and touring plans. If you ever go I really encourage you to use some sort of system like this.</div>

I didn't take as many pictures during the day, because I was having too much fun.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is what we did:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1. Soarin</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2. Sum of all thrills ( you actually create your own roller coaster) don't miss this ride, so fun!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3. Missions Space (the kids and I went on the milder ride, Brian went on the more intense one)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
4. Seas with Nemo and friends.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
5. Living Seas turtle talk with crush ( if you have young children this is really fun, our children were a little too old).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
6. Test Track </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
7. Ellen's Energy Adventure</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
8. Captain EO</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(Both of these were pretty out dated)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
9.We checked out Inoventions East and West ( It's like a great big science museum).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
10. Spaceship Earth.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
11. The Circle of Life.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
12. Journey into Imagination with Figment (again, something for the younger set).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
13. Living with the Land</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Have a great week everyone!</div>

Chicken that is about ready to be fried. It's so nice to do this outside, so the mess stays out there. I am not a big fan of fried chicken, but I tried a wing. The flavor in the breading was very good. Brian used <a href="http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/member/views/THOMAS-KELLERS-BUTTERMILK-FRIED-CHICKEN-50000340">Thomas Keller's recipe for Buttermilk Fried Chicken if you are interested.</a></div>

This is the Grand Floridian Resort in Disney World. We did not stay here (wish we did)! It is a gorgeous hotel. This is Disney's description of the resort, "<span style="background-color: white; color: #253b56; font-family: Avenir, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; line-height: 25px;"><i>Victorian elegance meets modern sophistication at this lavish bayside Resort hotel. Relax in the sumptuous lobby as the live orchestra plays ragtime, jazz and popular Disney tunes. Bask on the white-sand beach, indulge in a luxurious massage and watch the fireworks light up the sky over Cinderella Castle. Just one stop to Magic Kingdom park on the complimentary Resort Monorail, this timeless Victorian-style marvel evokes Palm Beach’s golden era.</i>"</span></div>

Even though we did not stay at the Grand Floridian we did dine here on two separate occasions. On the evening that we arrived we had dinner at Citricos. Here is Disney's description</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>"</i><span style="background-color: white; color: #253b56; font-family: Avenir, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;"><i>Savor vibrant</i> <i>Mediterranean-style dishes in this lively, inviting restaurant.</i></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #253b56; font-family: Avenir, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; padding: 0px; text-align: center; vertical-align: bottom;">
<i>Wrought-iron railings resemble vineyard grapevines, while Old World furnishings and mosaic-tiled floors contribute to the warm décor. Some tables look out onto the manicured courtyard of Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa, while others let you peek into the bustling onstage kitchen.</i><i>Fresh, seasonal ingredients influence the oft-changing menu. Begin your meal with crispy risotto, sautéed shrimp and a sharply dressed charcuterie plate. Then, delight in mouthwatering specialties like braised veal shank, pan-roasted chicken and oak-grilled filet of beef.</i><i>For a sweet ending, indulge in such decadent desserts as warm chocolate-banana torte, cheesecake and tropical fruit crème brûlée." </i></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; padding: 0px; text-align: center; vertical-align: bottom;">
Citricos is considered a signature dining experience, this basically means that it is fancy and you need to be a little dressed up (business casual). I love how they personalized the menus for us, such a special little touch.</div>

We had a great table front and center to watch all the action in the kitchen. There were always a number of chefs back there. I think the Chef in the front on the left was the head honcho. He said hello to me and welcomed me to the restaurant. Later he gave Katie a little wink. The Chef on the right also seemed in charge. He came over to our table and asked if he could take our family photo. How sweet is that! We didn't ask or anything. That is the kind of service Disney gives. These two were making sure everything was perfect that was coming out of the kitchen before it arrived at the tables.</div>

Ian and I both had the Oak-grilled Swordfish with roasted fennel and vermouth risotto with a black garlic aioli and fennel pollen. This was out of this world delicious. The swordfish was cooked perfectly and the risotto was so creamy and had such a wonderful flavor. Ian also really enjoyed this meal and said that this was one of his favorite restaurants.</div>

Katie and Brian both had the Pan-Seared Florida Black Grouper with fresh tomato and Egg fettuccini in a tomato water, blistered heirloom tomato and basil. Katie said this was the best food ever! Brian also loved the fish, but he wasn't as crazy about the pasta. I had a bite of the fish and oh my goodness, melt in your mouth! (Photo taken by Katie with her phone).</div>

There are a lot of really good restaurants at Disney World. I am happy to say that Citricos is one of our new favorites. We all loved the atmosphere and our dinner. The service was also wonderful. If you like fine dining, I would recommend you try Citricos you won't be disappointed.</div>

For our 20th Anniversary celebration we decided to take the children on a trip with us. It was very tempting to go somewhere just the two of us, and I mean VERY. Since the children are getting older and Katie only has a few more years of high school, we don't know how many family vacations the future holds.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was really hoping for a nice beach vacation, but Brian, Katie and Ian all wanted to go to Disney World. We did go in 2007, but they all wanted to go back. I was fine with that, because we had a great time when we went previously.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We initially thought we would drive to save money, but decided to fly. We took Air tran on the way there. I found the airline to be pretty mediocre. We had a 7:15 am flight and arrived at 5:45. They had three agents checking people in and the line was really long. We barely had time to get through security, get to our gate and use the restroom before boarding.</div>

We are arrived on time around 11:15. We really like Disney's Magical express service and choose to use that again. They take care of getting our luggage and delivering it to our hotel room. We did pack a small carry on with a change of clothing for dinner just in case, because it can take a few hours to have your luggage delivered. Then we hopped on the air conditioned coach bus and arrived at the resort about 45 minutes later.</div>

<span style="color: #330033; font-family: Courier New; font-size: 130%;">To say that my children love berries would be an understatement. I rarely get the opportunity to actually make anything with any type of berry, because my 2 berry monsters devour them before I get a chance. Well, last week I intentionally bought two packages of blueberries so I could make these muffins.</span><br />
<br />
<br />

They had a beautiful golden brown color and were studded with gorgeous purple berries and were crusted with white sugar. The recipe came from the Penzey's 2003 summer catalog. If you were wondering...yes, I held onto this recipe that long and finally made it. I'm sure glad I did, because it will become a permanent part of my recipe collection</span> .</span></span><br />

<span style="color: #330033; font-family: courier new; font-size: 130%;">As you can tell, these are not your ordinary blueberry muffins. These muffins are not an overly sweet cupcake with a few blueberries. These muffins are more berry than muffin. The muffin is also not cake-like, but more dense. Really the purpose of the batter is to showcase the berry. The muffin is also not too sweet, the vanilla sugar is just the right touch and does not over power the blueberry flavor. </span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="color: #330033; font-family: Courier New; font-size: 130%;">I made them for Saturday morning breakfast, but they are so pretty I think your company would be totally blown away by them. If you really want to be impressive make a batch, put them in a basket and take them to your children's school. I'm sure your teacher's will appreciate them.</span></div>

<div align="center">
<em><span style="color: #330033;">As I a stated previously, these muffins are not too sweet. If you like your muffins on the sweeter side and your berries are not very sweet you might want to increase the sugar in the batter by a tablespoon.</span></em></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="color: #330033; font-size: 130%;"></span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="color: #330033; font-size: 130%;">1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="color: #330033; font-size: 130%;">1 Tbs. baking powder</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="color: #330033; font-size: 130%;">2 Tbs. sugar</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="color: #330033; font-size: 130%;">1/8 tsp. salt</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="color: #330033; font-size: 130%;">3 eggs slightly beaten</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="color: #330033; font-size: 130%;">1/4 cup milk</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="color: #330033; font-size: 130%;">5 Tbs. butter, melted and cooled</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="color: #330033; font-size: 130%;">1 tsp. pure vanilla extract</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="color: #330033; font-size: 130%;">2 cups fresh blueberries</span></div>

<span style="color: #330033; font-size: 130%;"></span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="color: #330033; font-size: 130%;">Pre-heat your oven to 425. Whisk the flour, baking powder, 2 Tbs. sugar, and salt in a bowl set aside. In another bowl mix the eggs, milk and the butter until blended. Add the liquid ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just moistened. Fold in the blueberries. Place muffin cups into a 12 cup muffin tin. Fill the cups to the top with the batter. Sprinkle generously with the vanilla sugar. Reduce your oven to 400. Bake on the middle shelf for 20-25 minutes. Cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes, serve warm.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>This recipe is from the archives (2009). It is still one of our favorites. Enjoy!</i></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Potato Salad seems to be one of those dishes that people just love or hate. I am in the love camp. I love, love potato salad, have since I was a kid. My mom makes a great potato salad, and it was my first potato salad love. She boils Idaho's in their jackets, then lets them cool. Then she cubes them and marinates them in Italian dressing. Then she adds onions, mayo, mustard, and sometimes eggs. Yum...I love it!</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Over the years I have tried many different potato salad recipes. This one is a family favorite (minus Ian, potato salad is not his love) and has been for 10 years! Not only does it taste great, it is really easy to put together. In the summer, I'm not a fan of spending a lot of time getting dinner on the table. You don't need to peel the potatoes and better yet you serve it warm!</span></div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">I have adapted the recipe to suit my family's taste, so feel free to do the same.</span></div>
<br />
<span style="color: #ff6600; font-size: 130%;"></span><br />
<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Warm Mustard Potato Salad</span></b><br />
<em><span style="color: #ff6600;"></span></em><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">1 pound small red potatoes</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">1/2 cup light mayonnaise</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">1/4 cup dijon mustard ( I sometimes use grainy or yellow)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">1/2 cup chopped red onion</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">4 garlic cloves</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">2 tablespoons fresh dill or 1 teaspoon dry</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">salt</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">pepper</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">a little bit of fresh lime juice ( optional)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Place the potatoes in a saucepan and cover with water. Cover and bring to a boil; cook until tender, about 20-25 minutes. Drain and cool slightly. Meanwhile combine the remaining ingredients. Cut potatoes into bite sized chunks; place in a bowl. Add the mustard mixture and toss to coat. Serve warm. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #38761d;">We had a great school year, but it was most certainly challenging. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #38761d;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #38761d;"> Katie started high school at a new school knowing very little people. God was good, she made some great friends and had some great teachers, and got involved in some new activities.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #38761d;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #38761d;">Ian was placed in a challenging class with none of his buddies. Everyday for the first month or two he came home saying this "Too quiet, too serious, too lonely." Poor guy. The challenge was good for him and he did end up making some new friends.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #38761d;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #38761d;">So even though everything turned out good. We need a break. Plus Brian and I will be celebrating our 20th Wedding Anniversary soon. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #38761d;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #38761d;">I've scheduled a number of blog posts for the next couple of weeks. My plan is not to be around much. I probably won't be on Facebook or Pinterest. I might take a few photos on Instagram, we'll see.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #38761d;">I'll be back to regular blogging on Sunday, June 30th.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #38761d;">Have a great couple of weeks! Take care.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #38761d;">xoxo</span></div>
