This weekend the Orlando Food and Wine Festival was subject to cool winds and hot jazz from live performances from the Average White Band, Nick Colionne and Warren Hill.
Thirty -five of Orlando's best restarurants served up sample platters of their food with prices ranging from $4 -$8.
I sampled the Lolipop Lamb from Black Olive, Prime Beef Sliders and BBQ Shrimp from Ruth Christies, Drunken Bruschetta and a sublime banana bread pudding from The Vineyard Wine Company. The Boheme stole my heart with a hearty plate of pan seared diver scallops, citrus chicken skewers, lamb chops and BBQ prime rib slices- all for $8!
The wine selections were a bit expensive with and average cost of $8 per glass. The merlot from Gallo wines was mixture of mellow berries with a hint of spice and Ecco Domani's pinot noir had tinges of a peppery flavor but went down smooth.
Of course there was a Budweiser truck on site for the non-wine snobs.
This is my first "winter" in Orlando and I was wearing a maxi dress and sandals. New York, you are so far away from me now. The crowds were in good spirits. There were speakers all around Lake Eola where we could enjoy the live performances without crowding in front of the stage area.
"I like enjoying the music at my own pace without being in crowds,"said Tamara Smith.
People lounged in their own chairs or on blankets under the plentiful trees and soft grass. The organizers also arranged live chef performances from celebrity chefs on another stage. The important to budget travel is to prepare ahead. When it comes along to family trips, globetrotting, well-deserved holidays and/or going to see new destinations we have never been before, the reality of expense and budgeting is often in the back of our heads. Arranging and consuming our travel budget wisely is a main concern for most families. Minimizing expending and fees, while still experiencing your vacation to its fullest, is the key to confirmed accomplishment and fiscal liability. Your pocketbook and family will thank you! The thinking regarding saving money while touring is simple: Even if your personal finances is highly tight, you can still take a break and enjoy life! Simply put, life is just too short to never step out of the door or leaving the homestead! Also recalling that while traveling, regardless of whether on a funds or not, even the smallest of things can all add op to a big vacation or travel costs!. The audience learnt how to make the gourmet dessert, Bananas Foster from Chef Jean-Loius.
