There are so many really good foods which you can buy pre-made at the store. Many of those foods which you can buy pre-made are so gosh-darn expensive though – especially when you compare it to the cost (and ease) of making the same thing

While Celebrating my birthday in WALT DISNEY WORLD we made reservations for Restaurant Marrakesh in the Moroccan Pavilian for a late lunch (and snacked our way Around the World for the rest of the day). We decided on Marrakesh for lunch after hours of research and conversations – the meal was delicious and there was even some entertainment as well! (If we had more time, I also would have loved to dine France & meet Ratatouille, we’ll do that next time). When we got to Marrakesh, the lunch specials looked fantastic (there was a $19.99 one which was an appetizer, lunch & baklava and also a $27.99 Moroccan Special which included an appetizer, wide variety of lunch dishes and baklava). None of us were starving, so we combined those two special with two appetizers & just shared it all (sharing is a common occurrence in my family – thank goodness Rich was ok with that when we started dating, or this upcoming marriage thing would not be happening).

Disney Tokyo, Reading Rainbow, The Disney Channel, Microsoft Word, Chicken McNuggets, Hooters, Plinko, the Sony Camcorder,  & ME all have something in common… we all got our start in this world 30 years ago! Also of note; Weird Al’s first album got published AND the Advanced Research Projects Agency Network (ARPANET) switched its networking technology to TCP/IP which basically was when the “modern Internet” came into being, and A Christmas Story was released.

Yup – 1983 was a big year 🙂
