  1. Last Wednesday, I had one of the two "Cream Sauce" pizzas available. I'm not too sure what the Italian translation of this is, but I must say, it was really good, with an entire (what I tasted) melted mozzarella base on it. Definitely tasty, and worth getting again. "cream sauce." I should ask what this 'cream' actually is, on a future visit. Our apartment neighbours' roof is finished! Looks lovely. Loved the pancetta and zucchini on this pizza. All done, with a little slice left for David.
  2. Formule X Drievliet Family Park (The Hague, Zuid-Holland, Netherlands) TPR 2008 Europe Tour
  3. ^ Heh, definitely 1980's style hair, too.
  4. The Original "Let It Go" song. (1984) Sung by Canadian artist, Luba.
  5. R.I.P. Peter Scolari - w/Tom Hanks on tv's old "Bosom Buddies," on "Newhart," and lots of recent tv and film appearances
  6. I have to ask ..... did somebody lose their wig in there?
  7. on reflection ......... we have bought waaaaaaay too much candy for this Halloween's give out!
  8. Can't wait till Playland(PNE) finally gets it all together and bring back haunt houses and haunt zones next year. I miss them, so(il) much! This all looked great, Chuck. Was there any foodstuffs to .... enjoy? And/or spirits (the liquid kind) as well?
  9. BUMP! for more discussion on DAK, here. I still can't wait, to FINALLY get over there enjoying EPCOT (and that Epic Food & Wine Festival in the Fall), Animal Kingdom (for all of it, lol), and "maybe" the Studios and The Kingdom for a day .... each. Yum.
  10. I actually think it was brilliant of Disney to take the same ride system AND 'track route' and overlay it with an entirely different story, theme, etc. etc. They did it with Tower of Terror in DCA. They're doing it with Rock'n'Roller Coaster in Disney Paris' Walt Disney Studios. Now whether the ch-ch-change is good. I'll have to eventually ride Dinosaur myself, as I haven't had the epic opportunity ....yet. But I have ridden the Tokyo DisneySea version a number of times. The entry queue is changed. There are no (Um... Spoiler Alert?) three doors to "choose one" and ride through, etc. And they put in a Smoke Ring effect, I'll just mention here. And the exit is pretty quick, too. And by the way... isn't there a thread somewhere in here, for Animal Kingdom, etc? Just asking. EDIT: Found it, and BUMPed it. And Bert? ^^ I have Blue Sky hopes & dreams, for that actual wooden coaster (called "The Excavator," I remember?) they originally planned for that "Land." To take the place(s) of Primeval Whirl(s). Here's the artwork I remember seeing - Boneyard w/"The Excavator" coaster in the back.
  11. R.I.P. Colin Powell
  12. So, could you describe what depth of water you were in, etc? I am curious, like others are, probably. And how big the pool?
  13. letting out a big slow sigh ... while listening to some astounding piano playing, classical, but FIERCE! that's it. thanks for the space.
  14. "Last of The White List"... Last Wednesday, I had the last "white based" pizza on the list at https://viateverepizzeria.com/ And I found it to be just as good as the first pizza of this kind, on the same list. The Tricolore pizza was just that. The three colours (if you include white) of the Italian flag. And the walnut pesto on it was soooooooooooooooo good! So good in fact, that I considered choosing 3 pizzas from this list to enjoy again, in the future. What's on it. And no, I am not planning to "Make it vegan?" any time soon. Everything set and ready for it. And here it is! Doesn't this look great? Had to do a close up on this one. With all that tomato and pesto on it. Mmmmm. New roof being installed on the apartment bldg. behind us. Done, with a small slice to go back to David.
  15. This new parade lineup looks great! Ohhhhh, to be able to get back there. In my dreams, for now.
  16. Wow, this is old, heh heh. Anyway, found this "Fave Candy By State" posting. Basically, it's a Main Fight between M&M's and Skittles. Interesting that they also left out Hawaii and Alaska. Hmmm.....
  17. So, for my information, is Six Flags:Mexico included here, as well? Just asking.
  18. It seems to me, that they accidently released cover art for Adele's upcoming album .... Adele 30. What's extra interesting to me, is that for this notebook, her name has dropped the second "e" = Adel. On both sides of the notebook. Hmmm.... Anyway, it's coming out soon YAAAAAAAAAAAA! Front of it.... ...and the back of it. I think it says "Queen Of/On Paper" underneath ADEL.
  19. Happy National Coming Out Day, everybody! ...and Happy Thanksgiving Canada, and Happy Columbus Day USA!
  20. I was there around Easter time in 1963 (ten years old), with my mom. After visiting Disneyland and Knott's Berry Farm, plans were to hit P.O.P. (which also stood for Pay-One-Price, one of the first parks to do that.) But - the times as they were - the park was closed on the day we visited, with an uncle we stayed with in N.Hollywood. I was so crushed, standing at the fence looking at that waterfall entrance. I cried and cried in the car, until Uncle Cy and my mom found a Mini Golf place for us all to do. It worked. I stopped crying, lol. There is a book out about the park. called "Pacific Ocean Park - The Rise and Fall of Los Angeles' Space-Age Nautical Pleasure Pier." I have a copy. And at the time, the Entrance Fee for all the rides and shows? 99 cents. Times have certainly changed since then, heh. EDIT TO ADD: By the way, "back then," Disney and Knott's actually closed for two days each week (I believe it was Monday-Tuesday for Disney and Wed-Thurs for Knott's) as a good will courtesy to the other park, etc. Truth! That's how we planned visiting both parks, with ease. The front of the hard cover book. ...And the back of it.
  21. ^ And Pets' moving "cardboard box" vehicles (omni-mover?) are nicely farther part from each other, than what we ride at (most) Disney parks. I always wondered, what it'd be like, if every other "Doombuggy" was removed from the omni-mover chain in Haunted Mansion...
  22. Been winning some ongoing $$$ these past few weeks, through my Scratch&Win tickets. Winning enough back, to usually pay for the next set of tickets. It feels good and nice, though small the winnings are.
  23. More awesomeness! Broadway.com just posted a video of the "SIX" Ex-Queens performing "No Way." It's GREAT!. https://www.broadway.com/buzz/201389/squad-up-watch-adrianna-hicks-sixs-royals-belt-out-no-way/ Enjoy. Catherine of Aragon, I believe? You go, girl!
