[Travisma 1,317]

There's a few Memes floating around out there.

 

One is When quarantine ends I'm either going to be a gourmet cook, or a drunk.

Another good one shows a before and after quarantine Thor from most of the movies lean and mean, then shows him plump and fluffy when he was pitying himself in that remote village.

Lets get some good recipes posted in here.

Either Disney, , just favorites, fun for kids ones or great camping ones in expectation  of the Forts reopening!

Three weeks ago yesterday I was eating Mickey beignets at the Port Orleans food court on the resorts visiting  day of our trip. We took the boat from Disney Springs.  Seems like a lot longer ago.  I don’t like to fry in oil but I may have to try this recipe. They were goooood.
