Ash:

I was just gonna say, I would never waste my hard earned dollars to go to Disney and eat lettuce.

JP:

I had a

nat_1_05-13-2025_185510:

right.

JP:

when we went last weekend

nat_1_05-13-2025_185510:

It's always a struggle. It's like that's that's because you're behaving when I like, and it's

JP:

I'm

nat_1_05-13-2025_185510:

even like, like that's, that's the time that I had my salad. I was at Epco and I debated hard between like the burger and the, and the salad and I was just like, I ordered the salad. It was good. It was good. I did a good job. It wasn't miraculous. It wasn't like life changing. And even in this list of on D 23 of Sides and Salad, it's, it, they literally have that. I can like quickly see the word salad in like three. And it, it consists, and again, these are like recipes you can make at home. There's Epcot watermelon salad, JP P's favorite park, you already know.

JP:

watermelon.

nat_1_05-13-2025_185510:

And then they, they have a.

JP:

trying to reclaim it. You saw him burst out of a popcorn cart

nat_1_05-13-2025_185510:

The, oh my gosh.

JP:

of hell.

nat_1_05-13-2025_185510:

Then they ha

JP:

I can make burnt popcorn at home. That's a recipe I got covered.

nat_1_05-13-2025_185510:

and then, then they have Beaumont's, papaya, avocado and grapefruit salad.

JP:

Interesting.

Ash:

I've never seen that there.

nat_1_05-13-2025_185510:

That's because you're eating the bacon. Yeah.

JP:

that's right. That's all we do is eat the bacon and eggs. No, I go there and I try Have you, like, I encourage people when they go to eat at the, at the resort restaurants to try some of the more themed dishes there,

nat_1_05-13-2025_185510:

Yeah.

JP:

of'em. You may not like it. Oh fuck. I want those. I want those sticky buttons.

nat_1_05-13-2025_185510:

And, and,

Ash:

What do you want from me? No, I can't.

JP:

I can't. I

nat_1_05-13-2025_185510:

and then,

Ash:

for Tuesday.

nat_1_05-13-2025_185510:

and then the, the third one I see is a quinoa salad from Safari Coffee Shop. Baker's Disney's Animal Kingdom. So, and then the rest of them are like nice different dishes.

january-raine_1_05-13-2025_185510:

just look at all the salads?

nat_1_05-13-2025_185510:

No, they have,

Ash:

I

nat_1_05-13-2025_185510:

well

JP:

to.

nat_1_05-13-2025_185510:

I was, I was curious'cause it has like, so it has appetizers and then it has sides and salads and there's a whole lot of more sides than there are salads. Ooh. They have Moroccan lamb burgers. No. Okay.

JP:

I found that I, I replicated today'cause I panicked. I was like, shit, I do all that homework. I didn't prepare for this at all. I thought, and I was like everyone else, someone else

Ash:

didn't give any fucking warnings today either.

nat_1_05-13-2025_185510:

Dang,

Ash:

both sides, January.

nat_1_05-13-2025_185510:

dang.

JP:

so I, so my panicking, I was like, I better, I better just go one of these recipes from the D 23 site and start to replicate it. So I, I tried like, like a lemon shrimp thing and I saw a picture and I was like, there's no way I can make what I have in this house look like that. So I, like, I put together like a marinade. I got my shrimps already and I

nat_1_05-13-2025_185510:

What was the name of the recipe that you attempted?

JP:

shrimp

nat_1_05-13-2025_185510:

Hmm. No, that's not gonna fly.

JP:

deviated. I

nat_1_05-13-2025_185510:

now. Now I think you're making everything up. Nope.

JP:

Let me, hold on. Hold on, ma'am.

nat_1_05-13-2025_185510:

I think you just made a Jonathan recipe and try to D it up.

JP:

well, I mean, eventually that's what it turned in. That's exactly what it turned into. But yeah, I mean, it, it definitely, I thought I started off on this journey of like, I thought,'cause initially I thought can replicate that chicken salad that I had or that it was a salad with chicken on top. But it was a Greek, it was the Greek salad. From magic and I was like, I can just replicate a salad. That's too easy.

nat_1_05-13-2025_185510:

No.

JP:

I was like, that's some putting green stuff. So then I went in and I'm not sure if it was an appetizer or a Maine dish but it was shrimp something or other. And I think it came out of like maybe it was like poly oriented or something like that. Let's see here. Do, do, do scrolling, scrolling, scrolling, making, arbitrary noises so that you, it takes up time. I dunno what you're looking at here. Actually, take all that there. Let's see. Cheesy, creamy, there's shrimp on here somewhere.

nat_1_05-13-2025_185510:

You know, as a matter of fact, this can be the gateway episode and we need at least, like, it's perfect.'cause you know, the summer's gonna be traveling. So it could give us like two to three weeks to actually pick a recipe we like and try it. Ooh, it'll be fine. Ah, but right now. Jonathan, we believe you. What? What are you going through? We'll, come, come back. What are you doing?

JP:

I'm trying to find

nat_1_05-13-2025_185510:

Hmm.

Ash:

him of being a liar

nat_1_05-13-2025_185510:

I mean, if I'm just saying if it were today, it shouldn't take that long to find,

JP:

Why haven't I? You

Ash:

didn't screenshot it, baby?

JP:

think I did. I forget Where it is. I mean, I, I deviated from it, so I mean, like

nat_1_05-13-2025_185510:

that's.

JP:

cartoony and plasticy when I clicked on the link and I was like, there's no possible way that I can replicate this.

Ash:

Did

nat_1_05-13-2025_185510:

Was it? Was it in the dinners? He said it was in D three.

Ash:

Yeah. But maybe chat will help him find it. Tell me again what it is.

JP:

It's from something.

nat_1_05-13-2025_185510:

All right, I got you. I'm in D three shrimp.

JP:

have been like a lemon or lime or something. I

nat_1_05-13-2025_185510:

Was it Ebco Core reef? Grilled mahi and rocks. Nope, that's not it.

JP:

No, that's not it.

nat_1_05-13-2025_185510:

How about,

Ash:

something Epcot

nat_1_05-13-2025_185510:

about That's true. Nope, no grits. That's not it. Okay. How about, Nope, those are the two that think

Ash:

ohana. Grilled shrimp.

JP:

Yeah. What does that look like?

Ash:

I just want you, I thought it was that all I did was Google. It's a video.

JP:

Oh, this wasn't a video though.

Ash:

It doesn't mean it's wrong.

JP:

There's some stuff like, I want

nat_1_05-13-2025_185510:

that's not on D 23. I'll tell you right now.

JP:

Yeah. No, this was definitely

Ash:

was it prawns?

JP:

That sounds right. Is there lemon or lime involved?

Ash:

Citrus,

JP:

yes. Lemme see it. Does it look plastically? Is it a cup? Was it a cup? Is it a cup? Is it a cup? It's in a cup and it looks like it's suspended by like some, like

Ash:

I just want you to know that this, lemme see a picture of it. It encompasses our entire relationship. That's it.

JP:

That's exactly

nat_1_05-13-2025_185510:

let me see. Lemme see. Lemme see.

JP:

show it, show it to show it to her. This is like

Ash:

Angela Bassett card that I pulled out of my ass earlier.

nat_1_05-13-2025_185510:

I can't,

Ash:

knows what that means.

JP:

Angela Bassett was in your hands.

nat_1_05-13-2025_185510:

oh my gosh.

JP:

dish or an appetizer?

nat_1_05-13-2025_185510:

That was under appetizers. Let me see, let me see. Let me see. Is it this one?

Ash:

to the group.

nat_1_05-13-2025_185510:

Oh, you sent it to the group.

JP:

she's texting it. Yeah, that's the one.

Ash:

Executive Chef Disneyland, Paris, and its sister.

nat_1_05-13-2025_185510:

open. I had that one open.

JP:

So yeah, one

Ash:

quarter pound of sugar snap peas.

JP:

It didn't have that. Anything that has that grows has three quarters of pounds

Ash:

of carrots.

nat_1_05-13-2025_185510:

So wait a minute.

Ash:

pound of zucchini. I

nat_1_05-13-2025_185510:

So, so just to make sure I understand, you just basically had the shrimp

JP:

No. And had the, had no juice. I had a lemon juice.

nat_1_05-13-2025_185510:

and you Okay. That's, I love you so hard.

Ash:

salt. But not cos salt.

JP:

You know what I did instead of the salt

nat_1_05-13-2025_185510:

Oh God.

JP:

lemon, lemon pepper. It's all mixed in one thing, right? And then I was like, you know, the best way for me to do this, I thought was to give it that nice little glaze look was to just like take like a heap of the lemon pepper powder stuff. Right. And to just like make a paste with the lemon juice. This is as close,

nat_1_05-13-2025_185510:

What,

JP:

close as I came to this, just so you know. So basically there's like

Ash:

15 items in this recipe. Mm-hmm. And he thought he was gonna get by with two and a half,

JP:

two.

nat_1_05-13-2025_185510:

right? Mm-hmm.

JP:

put butter in the pan too. And then yeah, it tasted good. He tasted great. It tasted nothing like Disney. Did you take pictures? No. I ate it.

nat_1_05-13-2025_185510:

You didn't, you didn't put it in a little martini glass.

JP:

No, I put it in a Tupperware. I didn't even put in a regulation bowls right in the top poor bowl. And I thought to myself, and you know what occurred to me?

Ash:

No, we have no idea what occurred to

JP:

you last year for being fantastic. Pass holders, Disney sent us a booklet of recipes. I'm sorry, Natalie, please repeat that, but this time unmute yourself.

nat_1_05-13-2025_185510:

My bad. I, I was, that was for the cough and I forgot.

JP:

It was so good though. What were you saying though?

nat_1_05-13-2025_185510:

JP:

nat_1_05-13-2025_185510:

interesting. But it, what's cool again is like these recipes are from Disney directly and then D Tree, DD 23 also, you know, they're providing the recipes, but then I stumbled upon copycat recipes. Ooh. So for the ones, yes. So for the ones that don't share the recipes for. Certain people put out their copycat recipes, so we should try to do,'cause you know the Disney ones, that's that, that week. That'll be the next episode, not the next, will be a future dated episode where we do a copycat recipe and we'll provide it by Disney, but not the same recipe

nat_1_05-13-2025_185510:

to a or, or a, or, or,

january-raine_1_05-13-2025_185510:

Oh

nat_1_05-13-2025_185510:

oh,

JP:

wa It's wan It's wan. We go, go from dank to wan. That's how we

nat_1_05-13-2025_185510:

I can't.

JP:

So for O-U-A-N-K. Yeah. How else would you pronounce the ua Wink wonk, wink just sounds funnier. I would, so one of the, one of the things that one of the recipes that people enjoy or one of the and it was very seasonal, like you had to wait for them to bring it out, was hot butter beer. And so what I did was I took mixture of Swiss Mist. And the scotch jello pudding instant pudding mix,

january-raine_1_05-13-2025_185510:

oh,

JP:

mixed it together. Oh yeah. And then you add a little bit of milk and, and you have to do a little like whipped cream on top. And

nat_1_05-13-2025_185510:

Ooh, did, did you guys hear you can get butter beer now in City Walk?

JP:

I did,

nat_1_05-13-2025_185510:

Sure. You did?

JP:

have you all ever had butter beer?

nat_1_05-13-2025_185510:

No.

JP:

It's worth it.

nat_1_05-13-2025_185510:

It,

JP:

Yeah. I.

nat_1_05-13-2025_185510:

it sounds like calories.

JP:

Oh yeah. It's diabetes in a glass.

nat_1_05-13-2025_185510:

Oh, yeah. No, it's really sweet.

JP:

Yeah. Yeah,

nat_1_05-13-2025_185510:

No

JP:

in. So many different forms though, right? So I

Ash:

think the hot butter beer is better.

JP:

In terms of calories?

Ash:

No, in terms of taste and sweetness. I think the

nat_1_05-13-2025_185510:

The,

Ash:

one can,

nat_1_05-13-2025_185510:

there's hot and cold.

Ash:

yeah, there's frozen and then there's. Hot. Is there just like a regular cold one or is it just a milk frozen?

JP:

Yeah, it's a regular, it's a regular cold one.

Ash:

And now there's like, an ice cream bar, which they didn't have before. It's like butter beer season right now out there, which they haven't done before. So there's like all this special tea butter beer. So we got a candy bar. it was very

JP:

good except very like, it was just

Ash:

very rich, like overpower your.

january-raine_1_05-13-2025_185510:

I feel like butterscotch just is period.

Ash:

Yeah, it was pretty intense. But it was nice, you know, for a snack.

JP:

That's all butter. Beer is though, is just butterscotch soda. They just,

nat_1_05-13-2025_185510:

Wow.

JP:

Uh.

JP:

just like, don't pick

nat_1_05-13-2025_185510:

No, but

JP:

takes too much effort.

nat_1_05-13-2025_185510:

no, nah. You have to, we have to make sure you pick something that you're really gonna commit to and not only have two recipe, two ingredients to attempt, although at least one of the ingredients was a Maine. That's good. Like it wasn't like oregano and salt. It was actually like the protein.

You don't need mushrooms either. It's okay. Wait, I'll go back to the board.

JP:

I mean, you can. We can, we can, we can do that. I, we don't need to have all the ingredients in there. It doesn't have to be

Ash:

As soon as it popped up, I was like, oh, I know for sure.

JP:

I think we should try the beignets, from the, from the recipe booklet. Where did I, I don't, I gotta be careful. Slinging it out. Last time I slung it out, fucking Noah's Ark appeared too. Damn. flood, that I caused, I think we should try the beignets.

JP:

Tell us Natalie. 2 cents. Natalie 2 cents is sneezing like crazy coughing. What are we

nat_1_05-13-2025_185510:

it's, it was coughing. It's interesting because they don't have the beignets listed in D 23. However,

Ash:

Rude.

nat_1_05-13-2025_185510:

there are copycats. They did distribute the list and also when you go to their store at French Quarter, they have the Benet making kit.

Ash:

Half a teaspoon of salt, half a cup of heavy cream. Gotta bring out my muscles. Lift that up. One egg. One egg. then four cups of all purpose flour.

nat_1_05-13-2025_185510:

JP:

No, no. I'm making a beignets. You gotta pick yours. Your pick. I can pick another one. It's cool.

nat_1_05-13-2025_185510:

They have

Ash:

We've made it before. Erica's mom,

january-raine_1_05-13-2025_185510:

vegetables. If you have a mandolin, it's super quick.

nat_1_05-13-2025_185510:

they're so good, but I found the UL in the copycat. I don't see it. Let me see if I see it under the d. It's so many of them. They have desserts, lavender donuts.

january-raine_1_05-13-2025_185510:

Ash:

It's it the same as different.

january-raine_1_05-13-2025_185510:

january-raine_1_05-13-2025_185510:

floral.

nat_1_05-13-2025_185510:

well that doesn't sound fun. But,

JP:

Yeah. Does it taste,

nat_1_05-13-2025_185510:

but maybe, I mean, shh, don't tell anyone that these donuts serve that California grill are vegan. We here, this is what we learned, that the food in Disneyland is better than the food at Disney World. And they have options out there that they don't give us out here. And they be changing shit up out there, like they don't do out here. I say,

Ash:

those last two points I think I knew.

nat_1_05-13-2025_185510:

wow, this,

that what it's supposed to be? Like it

nat_1_05-13-2025_185510:

Sometimes just to, especially when I was trying to make my. My weight limit for Puerto Rico. I would just be curious and then be like, I down a, a bottle of water and then go, and it would obviously, I would weigh a pound more like,

JP:

Oh, really?

nat_1_05-13-2025_185510:

and so yeah, like weigh yourself, weigh, do your thing, your process, and then like down a bottle of water and weigh yourself again, you're gonna weigh an extra, however many ounces of water you drank.

JP:

I've been, I've been thinking about trying to like, see how much I sweat out, so I'm just gonna weigh myself before I exercise

nat_1_05-13-2025_185510:

Ooh,

JP:

myself after and see what my sweat rate is.

nat_1_05-13-2025_185510:

I really didn't have much there. I had, you know, like water and that salad I could live with, or pita chips in the salad. They caught me off guard. Surprise. What's that? I'm chewing on.
