Palo for Brunch, yes!!!

-
I know you have wondered, do adults have fun on a Disney Cruise?  Are there kids everywhere?  Can you get away from them?  Yes!  Yes, you can.  One such opportunity is an adult only dining experience in Palo. We were encouraged to book a brunch reservation by my sweet friend Kristen, and I am so glad we took her advice.  Dining in Palo isn’t included.  It is a $30 per person charge, plus tax and gratuity.  It was completely worth it.



There is a menu, but the best part of the meal is the buffet portion.  You can help yourself to anything you want and the options are endless!  We were seated at a table near the windows and the view was amazing.  The restaurant is at the back (aft)  of the ship on the 10th deck.  There is a dress code so be aware men must wear a collared shirt and no flip flops are allowed.  I was allowed to wear my cute Mickey Mouse Croc flip flops though.  😍




Our server was Susanna and she was delightful.  She kept us laughing and made sure all of our expectations were exceeded.  She showed us everything the buffet had to offer and then let us loose to help ourselves.

Here are some photos of the spread: 









There were mussels and tuna and the possibilities were endless.  
My first time to eat Caviar, it was ok.









A full pan of sticker buns...Susanna said there were no calories, but I have a suspecian that isn’t the whole truth.  

Are you hungry yet??

I don’t miss an opportunity to get eggs Benedict.  I usually order it without the bread and add tomato slices and the chef was happy to oblige me.  The hollandaise was delicious. 



John ordered soup, he filled up from the buffet. 




We highly recommend Palo for brunch.  We might eat there twice on our next cruise.

How to make Kombucha (Kombucha 101)

-

Several years ago I found a bottle of Kombucha in Whole Foods and decided to give it a try.  I took a sip and quickly handed it to my husband to finish.  I asked for one more taste but decided it tasted too much like vinegar for my tastebuds.  A few months later I found a different brand and decided to give it a taste.  I was delighted to find that I actually liked it.  I began buying kombucha on occasion after that and found that the cost of buying kombucha would make it something that would have to be more of a treat than something I consumed daily.   A couple of years ago I learned a friend of mine had a SCOBY (symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast) for making his own kombucha.  I was intrigued.  I started researching it and asked him if he had a SCOBY to spare.  He gladly shared one with me and I purchased all of the necessary supplies and began brewing my first batch.  To make a long story short, I wasn't successful.  It was actually very disappointing.  There were a lo

Sixteen Years and Counting

September 14th, John and I will celebrate 16 years of marriage!  The years have flown by.  Especially this last one.  It doesn't seem like it has been a year since we celebrated our 15th wedding anniversary with a vow renewal ceremony. I shared some of the photos on Facebook last year and our photographer, Jason Ebeyer, shared some of them on his blog, however, I wanted to take the time to share more of the photos, our vows from the ceremony and remember the day as we celebrate this years anniversary.  We will be going on a cruise to celebrate.  Our first anniversary trip since 2009.  Oddly, we are going to Mexico, near the place we visited on the last trip. We took pictures a couple of days before the ceremony at Mrs.  Brown's farm which is not far from the house where I grew up.  Jason had a lot of fun with the sky in the background.  Looks like God was showing off! He still lights up my life! You have no idea how hot it was that morning! I

New Life on the Farm

Life on the farm can bring many emotions.  Sometimes it can be sad, and almost depressing.  But other times there is joy. My parents cows have been busy this year.  We have had a massive amount of calves born recently.  I would venture to say around 30 have been born in the last 4 months.  I have yet to actually watch the birth process of a calf, but this week I have stumbled upon a calf that was born within the last hour or so.  John stumbled upon a cow in labor and got to watch the entire birth process.  Apparently, they use gravity to help the baby out.  I am glad human babies don't have to fall on their heads at the moment of birth.  New baby John got to watch be born, still covered by part of the sack. Sunday, after church, we drove onto our road and noticed some buzzards surrounding a cow, so we drove quickly over to see what was going on.  As you probably know, buzzards usually mean something is dead.  The calf was alive and the cow was cleaning up, (eating
