What are we all doing for fun outside of work?

[deleted547339]

Headed back home today. All 'Disneyed-Out'.

Food and wine highlights/lowlights:

1. Lamb meatball from New Zealand stand was great.
2. Italian hot sausage/peppers was passable (good, but I've had better... the wifey makes better).
3. Grass-fed beef slider with hot pickles (from the homegrown-Florida stand) was freaking bomb-diggity.
4. Pierogies and sausage medallions from Poland were also passable (decent, also had better).
5. Margaritas from "inside the Mexican pyramid" were also first-class (not available on walkway of nations, gotta go inside the pyramid).
6. Tacos from Mexico were also marginal; skip those.
7. The leek and beef waffles mentioned in another post above smelled outstanding, and the line for them stretched forever. Didn't get any myself.
8. The middle eastern food I skipped, but it seems like it follows my rule of Middle-Eastern food: 1/3rd of time I say: "Wow, this lamb and spices are amazing!" 1/3rd of the time, I say: "I have no idea what I've just eaten?", and the final 1/3rd of the time I say: "You people eat sawdust balls that have been fried in urine and motor oil."
9. There was a chicken curry just off the start that smelled fantastic, but I didn't get any.
10. Listening to a Canadian bagpiper do his rendition of "Tom Sawyer" by RUSH was great, but also painfully stereotypical.

Everything was overpriced, but you've got to expect that.

RF - I'm waiting in a 30 minute line for this margarita because you said it was worth it. I'm counting on you to come through for me.....

Its totally worth it, especially if you started the walkway of nations in a counter-clockwise direction (Canada first, then thru the UK/Ireland, etc), and you're dying for something refreshing and adult.

You were right. Got the blood orange. Now waiting on a flight of beer while the wife is in line for cheese.

Hawaiian pork sliders, Brazilian pork belly and Canadian beer cheese soup have all been stellar.

Niiice.

The wife is a big foodie; but I'm only learning to talk the language. Its kind of like when she was learning to watch hockey with me, and could only name "Crosby, Malkin, and Ovechkin" as the stars of the NHL. I know me some good alcohol from being a bartender for years, though.

Speaking of; I'm off until tomorrow night, so I'm going to go hit some range balls (playing tomorrow at 2pm), eat a bomb-diggity club sandwich (you can tell the bacon is freshly cooked, onions sliced just-then), then come home an watch hockey from say.... 7-10pm. Life outside of work is awesome.
