Beauty and the Beast
Tonight's dinner is themed around the 1991 animated Beauty & The Beast. This film was groundbreaking in many ways. Here are just a couple:
1. It was the first animated film nominated for Best Picture at the Oscars. (Pixar's UP! was the second).
2. It's the second Disney film (and first "prestige film") to use Computer Animation Production System, or CAPS.
It also has one of the most famous Disney "food moments" with the song "Be Our Guest".
"Try the grey stuff, it's delicious
Don't believe me? Ask the dishes"
"Beef ragout
Cheese souffle
Pie and pudding "en flambe"
We have eaten at Be Our Guest restaurant at Disney World and it is quite the experience.
The menu is set...
Beouf Bourginon (Beef Ragout)
I knew that the only Beouf Bourginon recipe worth creating would be from Julia Child.
Then I found a recipe for Cheese Souffle and I knew I had to make the Grey Stuff.
The Beouf Borginon came out great. The cheese souffle tasted good but I made a few mistakes in the recipe and cooked them a little to long, so they didn't look great but they tasted pretty good. The Grey Stuff looked more brown (think poop emoji) than grey but again it tasted really good.
Anyway it was a great way to end our first Disney Theme Dinner Week. I'm taking next week off from theme dinners but will return the week of July 5 with the Wizard of Oz Theme Week.
