Amazing Antioxidants: Dark chocolate and red wine. Need I say more? For years, I’ve read that enjoying these treats in moderation is not only “okay,” but actually good for you. I sure hope it’s true! I love an occasional chocolate square from Ghirardelli or The Ganachery, and later this year, Wine Bar George, by Master Sommelier George Miliotes, will be my “go-to” venue for trying wines of all varieties.

The new Mickey Mouse Le Creuset Dutch Oven is Gorgeous

Mickey Mouse Le Creuset Dutch Oven

I come from a family of chefs and cooks. My Dad is a chef, my grandfather trained with Paul Bocuse, and I even married a chef. So needless to say we love quality kitchen and cookware. Being the total Disney Addict I am, it’s safe to say I am obsessed with the new Mickey Mouse Le Creuset Dutch Oven and stoneware ramekins.

The new Disney collection from William Sonoma features all of the amazing quality and features we have come to know and love from Le Creuset, but with a dash of Disney flair.

The new Mickey Mouse Le Creuset Dutch Oven is Gorgeous

The Mickey Le Creuset versatile Dutch oven is a versatile piece of cookware, that features Mickey designs all around, and is topped off with a Mickey design on the handle . The Dutch ovens are made from even-heating cast iron that lend to even and delicious cooking for slow simmer stews, casseroles, braises and much more. Le Creuset is a high end brand, but I really feel their Dutch ovens and cookware are worth every penny.

The new Mickey Mouse Le Creuset Dutch Oven is Gorgeous

The stoneware ramekins from Le Creuset are one of my favorite items in the kitchen. So, Mickey shapes ones… can we say YES PLEASE?  These ramekins are shaped like the iconic cartoon character created by Walt Disney in 1928. Not only do these add a touch of whimsy to the kitchen, they are incredibly versatile. I love that they are two different colors, one in red and one in black. The different colors are a great way for distinguishing recipes made with different ingredients, and also for decorating when entertaining. I use my stoneware ramekins for everything from small pies, mini casserole bakes, individual meat loafs, soufflés, and even small cakes. Now with a Mickey shape, these favorite dishes will be tasty, and adorable! You can even use these dishes for serving warm dips at a party.

Both of these fabulous Disney inspired Le Creuset items can be found on the Williams Sonoma website. The Mickey Dutch oven retails from $350, and the Mickey ramekins retail for $50.00.

Have you been tempted to add this collection, or past Disney Le Creuset cookware to your kitchen?

Construction Walls Up at Main Street U.S.A in Disneyland

Main Street Wall

As we reported earlier this month, Disneyland Resort reported that they will be replacing the tracks in Disneyland theme park used by the Main Street Vehicles. From posts shared by guests to Disneyland this morning,  it looks like this project is well underway. Guests arriving at the theme park were greeted by construction walls encompassing a considerable part of Main Street.

Check out this tweet shared by a visitor to Disneyland today:

 

As you can see from @hastin, it would appear that the park has erected two different sections of walls along Disneyland’s main walkway to separate the visitors from the work being carried out.  This includes the Town Square entrance of the park as well as surrounding the statue of Walt Disney and Mickey Mouse.

While sections of the  Main Street U.S.A track have been replaced before, this is the first time a complete replacement has been scheduled.  The refurbishment will incorporate new brickwork that will enhance the look of the iconic thoroughfare.  The pieces of original track that remain will be salvaged and preserved.  The previously updated pieces of track will be recycled.

There’s no word yet on a completion date.  Readers are encouraged to keep following along with Chip and Co. for the latest updates regarding this and other Disneyland refurbishments happening in the weeks and months ahead.
