Tried the plant-based bulgogi fried rice from #ParadiseGardenGrill , and I really liked it. The pieces look remarkably like beef. After I ate a couple pieces, I could tell that it wasn't beef because the consistency was a little different.
And then I realized that what it reminded me of was the canned braised gluten that I ate as a kid, picture included. I do still like it, but I almost never buy it anymore because I'm pretty sure it's incredibly unhealthy for you. But the consistency is right, and seitan would make sense for a plant-based food. I wonder if that's what they used.
Found #Chopper in jail today. (After having seen Kylo Ren and stormtroopers, and Ahsoka (separately), and Boba Fett (separately) in the prior 10 minutes. (And then Mando with Grogu showed up while I was writing this.) It was a busy day in #BlackSpireOutpost .) When Chopper came over my way, I asked him why he was in jail, and he turned to the CM to ask him. I didn't quite hear his response but Chopper seemed insistent that he shouldn't be confined. #Batuu#Disneyland#GalaxysEdge#StarWars 1/2
As the CM was walking away, expecting #Chopper to follow him, Chopper hung back, and the CM said Chopper wanted to stay with me and didn't want to go, but he was responsible for him. I said that he was responsible for everything Chopper does, and the CM said, wait, what, wait a minute, while Chopper chuckled. They then both left. That was fun. Just a regular Saturday on #Batuu . #BlackSpireOutpost#Disneyland#GalaxysEdge#StarWarsGalaxysEdge#StarWars 2/2
Was at Disneyland for the last couple days for the Pixar Place Hotel opening (will share photos soon) but the cutest/best part of my trip was when my son went with me on Indiana Jones and when the ride ended, he burst into applause. 😍 #Disneyland
This was the first time I've been on Rise of the Resistance and Runaway Railway and they were both so cool! The choreography of the trackless ride vehicles is so clever. #Disneyland#Imagineering
And the cast members in Rise playing their parts so well 🤩 Felt like a show combined with a ride. Never got to go to the Star Wars Hotel but it made me feel sad it didn't work out.
Saw #WorldOfColorOne last night, and I was so happy to see that all the fire effects are back, including the giant fireball during the Moana segment. #DisneyCaliforniaAdventure 1/2

There seem to be quite a number of new items for the #LunarNewYear festival at #DisneyCaliforniaAdventure this year. These are the ones particularly getting my attention, and two of the items are plant-based. 1/2

It was a really brutal race for me. I had a lot of new experiences today, but thankfully, getting swept at a race and taking a DNF (did not finish) was not one of them. I'll do a more complete write-up later this week, but for now, I did finish the half marathon and so earned both a #HalfMarathon and #DumboDoubleDare medal. 1/2
And it wasn't just a 19.3 weekend like the medal, bib and shirts say. Since we did the 5k as well, it was a 22.4 weekend for each of us. #runDisney#Disneyland 2/2
Lunch today was from #BoardwalkPizzaAndPasta . Apparently, I haven't eaten here in a while because they've changed the menu. Instead of the wonderful chicken sun-dried tomato pesto pasta, they now have a four-cheese roasted garlic chicken pasta. Given how descriptive it is, you'd think it would be flavorful. You'd be wrong. It was pretty bland, not garlicky at all, and the sauce was very grainy. #DisneyCaliforniaAdventure 1/3
Putting red pepper flakes on it helped but that shouldn't be the saving grace of a dish. Also, it's hard to visually differentiate between the rigatoni and the chicken pieces because they look exactly the same. #BoardwalkPizzaAndPasta#DisneyCaliforniaAdventure 2/3
I also discovered that the wonderful boardwalk field greens salad is also gone. There's a new wedge salad that's basically one-quarter of a whole head of romaine with toppings. And there's now a Caesar as a side salad only.
@isophetry It's much colder than normal, even for January. I normally wear a baseball hat, but I wore the beanie yesterday and today for more warmth. Both yesterday and today, I had on a T-shirt, race shirt, and a jacket. I also wore leggings under my skort. Tomorrow is expected to be a little less cold, and I'll be out longer since it's a half, so I'm going to forego the beanie for my regular hat and leave off the T-shirt.
It's not too bad once you start. Waiting is very cold.
We got back from #Disneyland a few days ago. Such a great trip! 🎉
No infections 👍 despite the constant chorus of coughing people around us, thanks to some basic precautions including good masks, Betadine & Enovid, good hygiene, and a toddler stroller PAPR.
