Wouldn't miss a Dis_Yoda dining report! Nothing like fried chicken and moonshine for comfort! I'm glad it was just the right fuel for a rough day! I'm sorry to hear your mom is struggling. Next month will be four years since my father passed and my mom still struggles. Your mom is lucky to have you!
Yay! You're first! Fried Chicken and Moonshine totally made the day better!
I think part of the struggles is that she's never not had someone at home. I was there until college - then she had the cat and then she had Steve. Hopefully she'll get a pet soon enough so she has something to exert energy towards. A cat would do her some good!
Following. Sorry to hear it was such a difficult trip
My report title probably makes the trip sound more difficult than it was. I figured it was the right Star Wars quote (I am Dis_Yoda after all) for this plus the Dark Side Challenge where I'm going into that trip undertrained with major ankle problems that are getting surgery 3 weeks post run - that suffering is totally my fault!
I'm in! Sounds like a bit of a rough start, but understandably so. Sorry your mom is struggling. Good for you, though, for going off on your own and finding some comforting and enjoyable grub! Is there anything that fried food can't fix?!
Looking forward to the rest!
Fried Food does make most things better as does Moonshine. I am a Whiskey girl so Moonshine isn't too far off! Driving after a bad day of work just makes the drive seem worse!
Following...I have reservations at Homecomin' in June, and I cannot wait to try it!!!
I hope you have a great meal there! Good southern food is amazing and that is something Art Smith is known well for! I'm just sad I found about a wine dinner 1500 South is having on Thursday - thus I didn't budget for it and can't go!
So sorry to hear that your mom's husband passed. I remember you saying he was not doing well. I hope you two enjoyed your trip and that it could brighten both of your spirits! I was wondering if you'd be doing Princess half but it looks like you were there the week before.
Ugh, swoon. I am dying to eat here, this trip, hopefully. All of that sounds amazing. I love being so close to DS at SSR. We're staying at BLT in a few weeks and I'm almost wishing it was SSR again so I can walk to Disney Springs. Looks like a delicious meal, and I'm sure the moonshine didn't hurt after a crazy day.
Thank you
. He passed away at the very beginning of December while my husband and I were in the process of driving up there for the end. BLT is amazing though and so easy to go to Trader Sam's so that makes it worth it for me! Walking to Disney Springs does make SSR awesome! We don't understand the un-love it gets as we've never had a bad stay there! (Although my mother did make a comment to me about how it wasn't the Ritz, I mean really?)
We're doing the Princess races next year! Are you planning on returning for more Disney races after your Princess 10K? You know you want to do the challenge next year
.
Joining in! Very sorry to hear about your mom and the difficulties she's having.
Wow I can't believe the line was that long
But sounds like you made out good in that situation. I can't wait to try Homecomin' and I like the looks of the Moonshine Flight!
Thank you!
I could not believe that line! I mean, I love pizza but I'm not waiting over 30 minutes for fast casual pizza. Homecomin' was such a treat! I love how the Moonshine Flight came with spiced pecans. It just felt southern! There was also pickle juice but um, I'm not a pickle fan, unless its the marinade for my chick-fil-a chicken!
I really enjoyed the Fried Chicken when I was there last Fall. They subbed their mac & cheese for the potatoes and that stuff was heavenly!
Looking forward to your reviews.
Oh, good to know! I totally forgot about asking about subbing out the sides as my brain just wasn't working anymore! I need to remember that for next time! The lady next to me ordered it and it looked awesome!
So sorry to hear about your mom and her husband. I can't imagine how difficult that must be.
I'm glad to hear you had a nice meal at Homecoming. I enjoy eating at the bar there too. Fried chicken and a moonshine flight sounds awesome! I love Blaze, but that's better than pizza anytime.
Well - I think most people end up going through something similar at some point. Hopefully for you its much later! I'm glad my husband was a good sounding board through everything!
Moonshine is better than pizza anytime.
I'm excited to follow along. I'm sorry there were some hard parts, but glad you were able to spend time there with your mom!
Thank you for joining in! I'm glad to spend some fun time together since the last few visits together haven't been in good circumstances!
