31

I'm now at this weird point in trip planning where there is nothing left to do. It's too early to start packing (or so the hubby says) and there isn't anything that needs to be planned.

I'm just idly biding my time looking at photos from past trips. Like this one:

Or this one:

And this one:

I guess now I will go read some guide books and fill up on trivia to drive the hubs crazy while touring the parks :)

See Ya Real Soon!

35 Days...

We are officially 35 Days until Disney 2012! As a 35 Day treat I got DH a copy of 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea as a surprise and cooked a meal that is one of our favorites at WDW. 

I made my version of the meal at Liberty Tree Tavern! Thanks to the World Wide Web I was able to find the marinade for the steak, and I improvised for everything else. The recipe for the marinade is as follows:

4 teaspoons salt

2 teaspoons black pepper

2 tablespoons curry powder

2 teaspoons cumin

2 tablespoons rosemary, fresh, chopped

4 teaspoons paprika

2 teaspoons coriander

2 tablespoons granulated garlic

2 teaspoons oregano, dried 

You put all the spices in a bag and shake your steak until fully covered in the marinade. You can cook after storing in the fridge for an hour but you can also wait up to 24 hours and cook then. 15 min in a 350 degree oven should do it, but adjust the cooking time to how you like your steak cooked. I let the steak rest for 10 minutes and then I sliced it thinly. Yummy!

DH commented that the seasoning was a little thick on top so next time I will shake off the steaks before cooking. It isn't exactly like the Liberty Tree Tavern but it sure is close!

See Ya Real Soon!
