On our trip to Disneyland, Patti and I snuck away from the clan to have lunch among the fireflies at the Blue Bayou Cafe. It was hands down my favorite part of the trip. The food and the company were comforting and familiar.
After we returned home, Patti did some research and found the recipes to my two favorite dishes - the Blue Bayou Monte Cristo Sandwich and Pirates Gumbo. Makes my mouth water just thinking about it!

Yummy! There's an Irish restaurant that serves this with a unique kind of jelly whose name escapes me at the moment. I love it. I'll definitely have to try this recipe! Thanks for sharing.
