Visit Disneyland Resort: MagicBand+

  Not too many people had  MagicBand+  at Disneyland Resort, from what I noticed, but that didn't stop us from getting them.   You can use the MagicBand+ to scan into the entry gates or scan your Lightning Lane passes.  No need to take out your phone and open up the Disneyland app or your photos app for a screenshot of your admission ticket or Lightning Lane pass.  It's easy to sync the MagicBand+ to everyone in your party through the Disneyland app. It's rechargeable, and one full charge is supposed to last 1-3 days, but we'd charge them at the end of each night. Another fun thing about the MagicBand+ is that it'll blink and flash in all sorts of colors depending on where you are, whether at certain rides or shows.  You can also use to link PhotoPass photos and other experiences. It's totally not a necessary thing to have, but it's a nice-to-have for the convenience.   One thing I did read prior to getting them is that they have a tende...

Visit Portland: Lilia Comedor

Lilia Comedor offers Mexican dishes utilizing Pacific Northwest ingredients.  

The menu is very small - just 8 dishes including dessert, but it changes daily as they emphasize freshness and hyperlocalness.  We tried the Chef's Counter tasting menu (we added on one dish).

Chayote Tatemado

The first course was complex in taste.  I enjoyed the smoky, grilled chayotes and the sweet, yet tart kiwi berries.
Wild Shrimp Ceviche Rojo

The Wild Shrimp Ceviche Rojo was pretty spicy, and I loved the accompanying fried crackers.  The shrimp was overacidulated, however, which resulted in very tough and chewy shrimp.
Chilaquille Relleno Entomatada

I loved the Chilaquille Relleno Entomatada (an add-on dish).  This dish was pretty spicy as well, but the smoky chorizo, olive oil powder, and the gigante bean filling all contributed to a really delicious dish.  


Broccoli Barbacoa

I really liked the masa dumplings that were served with the broccoli.  I thought the broccoli was tender with a nice smokiness.
Sablefish a la Brasa
Sablefish is what we locally call butterfish, and I love butterfish.  This was my favorite dish of the night.  The fish was so mild and flaky, and perfectly cooked.  The red jalapeno guacachile added a lovely dimension to the entire dish, but I could've eaten the fish just by itself.  It was that good.  

Strawberry Creamsicle
All the elements of this dessert - the whipped panna cotta, verjus strawberry, and meringue really came together to create a delightful Strawberry Creamsicle.  

Pan de Elote
The corn bread was dense and moist, topped with a roasted blueberry sauce, corn crumble, and accompanied by a charred corn ice cream.  I really liked this dessert.  

Overall it was a nice dining experience!
