Green Bean Dessert
 (that's what you get for not finishing your veggies)

This is my all time favorite restaurant.  I have some of my best memories here!!!  I will never forget the time my cousins and brother had to sing "I'm a little tea cup" in front of everyone because they tattle tale.  Another great story is when one of the "cousins" (a kid from another table) didn't eat his green beans so the waiter feed them to him by doing the airplane.  Afterwards the kid threw up!  haha!!!
It's a great place with great food!  If ever at Disney's Hollywood Studios make sure to make a reservation there, and remember no elbows on the tables.

College Town Bagels

Decided to go down to Ithaca for the afternoon to hike Taughannock Falls with Kyle Olmstead. Afterwards went into the Commons to College Town Bagels for lunch.  It's a super cute place.  It took me longer to decided what to eat than actually getting my food and eating.  Everything sounded good, but decided to try The 5k Wrap.  It contains crunchy peanut butter, apples, granola, honey and raspberry jalapeno jam... so delicious!

1/2 cup     Lukewarm water
1 tsp.    Sugar
2 pkg.     Dry Yeast

1 cup     Scalded Milk
1/3 cup     Margarine

Beat in eggs and add flour.  Knead on a floured surface for 10 minutes.  Place in a bowl covered with a warm wet towel and let rise until double in bulk (about one hour).  Knead again for 10 minutes, cut in two sections and roll out each section 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick.  

Spread with butter, brown sugar to cover and sprinkle with cinnamon and chopped nuts.  Pecans are best but walnuts are fine too.  

Roll up tightly.
Slice in 1 inch sections (be careful not to cut all the way through) arrange.
 Let rise and bake in a 350 degree oven until golden brown.  Let cool to lukewarm and spread with a glaze made with a tsp. of butter, confectioners sugar and milk or orange juice.  Decorate with maraschino cherries.
