We went over to the Food & Wine Festival this afternoon, no kids, no agenda, just ate, drank and wandered. What a great way to start the weekend. CHEERS!

We started in the "Napa" section, they were all pretty nice. Then wandered over to the food area and had some of the "Braised Beef Sliders" which I'm happy to report were darn good! (Sorry, I didn't take any pictures of them...lame I know) I also tried the "Beer Battered Fish" - I don't recommend it. The batter is too thick, and I'm a tarter sauce person of which they had none.

We roamed around the park "just looking" then went over to Disneyland and did the same thing...however we were NOT ABLE to pass the Corn Dog wagon without partaking in the wondrous glory of the almighty giant corn dog. (again, I was so smitten with the corn dog that I forgot to take a picture)

Also needed to try the Matterhorn Macaroon, popcorn, and cotton candy. Ugh. No need for dinner tonight!

Here's a few pictures of some things we did see and eat! Enjoy.

That about wraps up this afternoon. Have a safe and enjoyable Memorial Weekend! Support our troops, veterans & remember those that paid the ultimate price for our freedom!

I always thought they were called protein spills!

FWIW, if you hear Code Brown at Target, run, do not walk, in the opposite direction. It's worse than a V.

The Matterhorn macaroon was in the Blue Ribbon Bakery on Main Street in DL. I don't know if it was part of the Food and Wine Festival or not. You may still be able to get your hands on one. But the sliders are a goner now.
