Eating A Ton At The Seven Seas Food Festival At SeaWorld

 We always love food festivals! It's always fun to sample different foods from various parts of the world. SeaWorld always has a Seven Seas Food Festival and we look forward to going every year. There's food and drinks for 10 different countries with over 100 offerings. We normally go for the food though. I've never been a big drinker, but many people show up for the booze. 

One of our favorite stops is Mexico. They have delicious tacos, sopapillas, and street corn. 

Here's the menu:

Allow me to do an ode to the street corn.

Oh, corn!

How I love thee!

Your crunch, your flavors...

Make happiness exude from me!

So, fine, it's not that great, but trust me, try this corn, or it's real name is Fried Elote Con Queso. It's fried corn with mayo, queso, cotija, lime, and coriander. 

We also got the Shredded Braised Beef street taco, and it was incredible, as it always is. It has shreded braised beef, queso fresco, pickled red onion, radish, serrano pepper, and micro cilantro:

Plus the Chicken Carnitas With Grilled Corn Salsa Street Taco:

Then we wandered over to France, which is another fave.

We absolutely LOVE the banana & strawberry hazelnut crepe. It's made so well, with a dollop of whipped cream:

I do not like mushrooms. It's fungus. But the kids are fans, so I also ordered the mushroom, spinach, and swiss. They said it was tasty and the mushroom didn't taste canned. If they were, the flavor was masked well, because they gobbled everything up:

We also tried the Ham & Herbed Cream Cheese crepe, and I found it to be savory with a nice flavor. The hazelnut is still my fave though!

We stopped off at Germany next, and there's always a fun photo area:

I realized I forgot to take a picture of the menu, but this is the schnitzel sandwich, and it was superb. The bun tasted fresh and I was a fan of the sauce:

The braised beef goulash was amazing as well:

Finally, we stopped off at Hawaii. Mind you, there were many other booths we skipped, but we were getting full, so we wanted to be sure to hit our faves. 

We got the Hawaiian Macaroni Salad with Spam. This was the only dish of the day that I wasn't impressed with. There was just way too much going on. There was macaroni, spam, pineapple, edamame, carrot, green onions, and garlic aioli:

However, the Hula Dog is a winner! It's made on a Hawaiian sweet roll, smoked sausage, sweet cabbage slaw, red chili aioli, and furicake seasoning:

We always get the salmon poke bowl. There are various flavors like spicy tuna, spicy tofu, and teriyaki spam. These are always made well, so I highly recommend them!

At this point, we were incredibly full, so we decided to call it a day. We'll return though. The Seven Seas Food Festival at SeaWorld goes on until May 27th on select days so we'll have plenty of time.

What looks the best to you here?

Hey, It's Okay

I got this idea from Glamour magazine. You can link up any day of the week. All you have to do is make a list of what you're okay about. Simple! Please do not link up a post that has nothing to do with Hey, It's Okay. It's rude and I'll delete the link.

HEY, IT'S OKAY....

.....to be proud of Natalie for singing an Italian song for her recital. She started singing lessons last summer and has different recitals throughout the year. This one is in a whole different language in front of judges. She says she wants to vomit.

.....to have gone to see Tommy for lunch over the weekend. I'm always glad when we can visit with him. He's nearly done with the semester.

......to want to start watched One Day on Netflix, but I read the book and I know what an emotional roller coaster it is and that I will cry.

.....to have seen this sign in Michaels and agreed with it. I just love macarons. I wish they weren't so dang expensive. I could make them myself but holy crap, they are complicated to make. Hence why they are so expensive. So they are a treat I get once in a blue moon.

Finding The Selena Chair At The Majestic Theatre

Basically everyone knows about Selena.

She was this gorgeous singer who was murdered by Yolanda, who was stealing money from the clothing boutiques she ran. Selena confronted her and was shot. She was only 23.

Before she died, she did a photoshoot at the Majestic Theatre. We go there often to watch shows. Natalie wanted to find the area where the photoshoot took place.

We think we found it.

Here's one picture of Selena shot by John Dyer.

And here's where we think it was:

It is a pretty room! We wanted to stay and explore longer, but by then it was the end of the show and the ushers wanted everyone OUT. Which I do not blame them. They wanted to go home.

We think when she sat down in the chair that it was pulled in here in that corner:

Here's the chair shot:

The chair is actually outside of the room but it might be the same one ? I mean, it's been many years, but you never know. Just in case, Natalie made sure to sit in it: 

We're so sorry what happened to Selena but we hope she knows that she's still inspiring people to this day.
