I've been soaked on Kali many a time (once I had to buy new pants because I was soaked through!) so I know how good it would be get some yummy food afterwards. It is a challenge, especially in the parks, because they have to serve over 25 million people a year. Crazy! A table for 7, especially at the main meal time is hard to come by. The best thing is to make reservations through WDW-DINE. It helps to get you seated faster. We used to make reservations at a few places so we had some options. They don't love that idea, it is nice to call back to cancel the ones you don't use, but you can "work" the system. Luv Poochie Mr. Henry,

If you ever go to Tunis you absolutely must try Le Grand Bleu. Unbelievable cuisine. But, there's nothing like a home cooked tangine...and I make a mean one!

I would go back at any time, please send ticket. Locally, we have a largeish north African population, but more Tunisians than Moroccans, and every Saturday at the halal butcher I can buy homemade breads that one of the Tunisian women makes. My favorite is thin and floppy, comes apart in layers and is sort of egg yolk colored. I asked the name but couldn't say it even that very moment. I just go in and say I want the yellow bread.

From her writing style she seems like a lot of fun, loose and spontaneous. Look her up! Mr. Henry might do the same one day. And tell Mr. 'T' that squab is delicious. It's the poor man's pheasant – intensely flavorful dark meat. The eggs are cooked in the reduced chicken (or squab) broth so they have a slightly toothy texture and carry the full rich flavor of the stew itself. Don't explain, just serve it up. No man has ever refused it. Click on her name or on her picture and you’ll find her website, dear Twistie. From her writing style she seems like a lot of fun, loose and spontaneous. Look her up!

Well before the hour was up, I was in serious need of a drool bucket watching those women make basteela and other delecacies. Alas! I can live in California all I like, but nothing is going to make Mr. Twistie brave enough to try squab or curdled eggs. Perhaps I can find out where Ms. Wolfert lives and 'happen' into her and then cadge an invitation to dinner...except I'm more likely to find myself 'mistaken' for a stalker in that situation.
