Sweet Sundays

As the description said

Indulge your sweet tooth as celebrity pastry chefs create cakes,pastries and all things sugary and scrumptious!.(continental breakfest is included)

This is something that they do every Sunday....hens the name I'm sure,and it was the first time I and we had every paid for any of the cooking demos.I was a little sceptical about it but thought it would be fun.........When I learned that I paid 65$ for a Buleberry Muffin,and Oatmeal Scone,I was even more sceptical.....
Well staring with the Continental Breakfest....I was thinking it would be rolls,donuts,fruit,coffee and juice.......Well they didn't have any rolls or donuts but they did have the fruit,coffee and juice.......along with very yummy bread......I tried the Chocolate Mango bread..........any bread with Chocolate gets a thumbs up with me...Oven browned potatoes with dices peppers and onions,Country ham and white chedder frittata,Wood smoked Bacon and Chicken Apple Sausage..........and as you're going back to your table they offer Martini & Rossi Prosecco.........if there could ever be a "Breakfest Wine" that's it.....and as they say at the Food and Wine Fest......Wine before 11,you're in Heven..........

So after that,then the Guest bakers talk and cook

If anyone remembers on the Food Network,Warren Brown was the host of Sugar Rush.....He also has a few shops in the Washington DC area.

The Blueberry Muffin was warm and filled with Blueberries,the Scone was yummy and was served with Martini & Rossi Asti Spumante........a sweet sparking wine........

but the best part was the Milk and............

Warren Brown and Mary Meyers from CakeLove.The picture says it all.........and yes.....I did join the Clean Plate Club

So Sad to see another year end

Once again we have seen another Food and Wine Fest come and go.........So many fine memories and a few blurry ones too.

I so enjoy just walking the Worldshowcase and noshing from Country to Country and trying different Libations from around the World..............Or waiting in line for the Seminars....which as some may remember from years in the past were always made to wait outside in the baking sun or poring rain.....but not this year....Though,the Wonders of Life building is so far away from the rest of the Fest.......being indoors and in the AC it was well worth the walk.

Tried a wine from 1973 at one of those.....the maker said there were 12 cases total that still were around and they brought 6 bottles with them to have us try.........for someone that 2003 is an old wine,something that was made when I was 5 is ancient

This year I did my first paid events.We did the South African Wine Adventure......Great fun and more wine then I can remember.......O yah,,,,the food was good too.

We did a food and wine pairing at the new Italian Restaurant too...........Great Wines and Wonderful Food.
