Yes I Like Pina Colavas...

Anybody else need one of these right now? Yes I do know it's only 10:30 a.m. I'm thinking about 6 will do the trick. Teleport me to the pool and let the volcano flow. Stupid Wednesdays...

Can I get that to go and can you fly it to me?

Eat Drink And Be Fatty! It's A Long Weekend!!




Must Eat Wings

 In keeping with the must stuff my face and drink much because it's a 3 day weekend theme, here's a favorite recipe of ours  from the Polynesian that will pair nicely with our Lapu Lapu recipe in Fridays post. Enjoy them together and it's almost like you're at The Poly...kinda...sort of...I tried.

 
.

Seriously , these are delicious

Wing Seasoning
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon ground paprika
1 tablespoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon turmeric
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
5 pounds chicken wings and drumettes
2 to 4 tablespoons vegetable oil

For the coriander wing sauce:


1/2 cup honey
1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/2 tablespoon chili powder
1/2 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1/2 tablespoon ground coriander
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
Cover a cookie sheet in foil and set aside.
Preheat the oven to 500 degrees.

Make wing seasoning by placing all ingredients (through cayenne pepper) in a small bowl and using a whisk to incorporate.

Put the chicken and 2 tablespoons of wing seasoning in a large bowl. Add enough oil to coat the chicken evenly and mix well.

Spread the seasoned chicken in a single layer on prepared cookie sheet. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes or until the thickest part of the chicken reaches 165 degrees.
Place all wing sauce ingredients in a large saute pan and bring them to a gentle simmer over medium-low heat. Cook and stir until thickened.

Transfer the cooked wings into the sauce, eat and eat and eat!!
Happy Memorial Day!

Tiki Fans Unite! Then Go Get Your Drink On

The Disney Parks Blog posted this week that these fantastic tiki glasses from Trader Sam's are now available for purchase. We've never been to Disneyland-yet-but I can tell you that they are right up our alley. Tropical themed and filled with a fabulous beverage, you couldn't really ask for more

Trader Sam's looks like a Polynesian paradise and whenever we travel to Disney, we always stop at The Polynesian. Davina was married there and we all stayed in an adjoining block of rooms . Needless to say when we hit up the Disneyland Hotel Trader Sam's is a must do!



Aloha!!



I'll take 5 please

 

We'll split 7 please

Above is the “bowl” for the Uh Oa! This popular drink is made with light and dark rums, orange, passion fruit, guava, and grapefruit juices, falernum, cinnamon and freshly squeezed lime juice. Sounds delicious and perfect for two best friends to share. Now we just need to get to Trader Sam's before they are gone

Deep Thoughts....With Stitch

While we plan our next girls trip to Disney we thought we'd ask for a few suggestions on some new , fun things to do. Typically we go to our girls trip guru , Stitch, for suggestions

Stitch, what you think we should drink tonight?

He typically takes some time to reflect and gather his thoughts, not wanting to disappoint with a bad idea



Stitch ponders..

After  gathering his thoughts, he advises....and all is well



You alright Stitch...you are alllllright

He is repaid with a relaxing night and we all partake and make merry, under Stitch's watchful eye



Damn girl I know what's up

Obviously Stitch suggested some fabulous Lapu Lapu's at The Polynesian this night and of course we'll be revisiting there for more on our next trip. Anyone else have some other ideas for us? Stitch won't judge you if he disagrees.
