This weeks recipe is a favorite among fans. The Monte Cristo Sandwich is sure to make tummies happy!

4 cup Canola Oil (For Frying)
2 Slices White Bread
1.5 oz Sliced Ham
1.5 oz Sliced Turkey
1 oz Swiss cheese

Jam Ingredients:
6 oz Blackberry Jam
1 TB Cream

Batter Ingredients:
3 ½ Cups Water
1 ½ Tsp Salt
3 ½ Cups Flour
2 TB Corn Starch
1 Egg (each)
3 Drops Yellow Coloring
2 Tsp Baking Powder
2 Tsp Powdered Sugar (For Dusting)

In a large mixing bowl, add water and egg; mix well. Then add all dry batter ingredients and mix thoroughly. It is best to let batter rest for 2 hours before cooking. Stack sandwiches in this order: white bread, cheese, ham, turkey, cheese, and white bread. Press sandwiches together. This will help to keep sandwiches together during frying. In a deep fryer or frying pot, add oil and bring to 350 degrees. When oil comes to heated (350 degrees), dip sandwich in batter and cover completely. Carefully place sandwich in hot oil, and cook for 2 minutes on each side. Drain sandwich and dust with powdered sugar. Serve with blackberry jam.

Disney released the following video showing off the prototype ride vehicle for Radiator Springs Racers, which doesn’t open until 2012. Looks like it is going to be a lot of fun!

Disney has taken to the streets with the Word of Color Road Show designed to give four cities around California a preview of the new night time show. The Road Show will feature elements from the actual show in DCA, on a smaller scale. Guests can also login online to vote for their favorite color, which will affect the outcome of the Road Show that evening. The Road Show will also be streamed live from on the Road Show website. You can see the new site for the Road Show here: http://www.WorldofColorRoadShow.com/?int_cmp=SOC-intDPFY10Q2WOCRoadShow25-06-10@0003
