Betty's Trip on Dinner Train with Rick&Chelsea--NO RECIPE--

[bfgguns]

Looks very delicious. =P

[bettyskitchen]

@bfgguns Thanks!

--Betty :)

[ScrewFoxNews]

The food looked great but the portions are big. I don't think anybody could manage the sandwich AND the baked potato.

[bettyskitchen]

@ScrewFoxNews Yes, the portions were very large; we took some home with us!

hi betty when you was on the train and you showed your desert if im not mistaken you said you had a apple dumplin im not really sure if that is the correct spelling.. but anyways i was wondering if you already had a video on how to make it but i didnt see it so do you think it would be possible if you could make a video on how to make one it looks very tastey

[bettyskitchen]

@MrFashiondivo Yes, I already have a video of apple dumplings. You will find it if you search for apple dumpling in bettyskitchen or use this link:

This looks wonderful......I have been to Louisville, in fact, my mom was born in Louisville, but I've never been to Bardstown. My parents travel quite a bit and have told me how nice Bardstown is. And Betty, what is a Hotbrown? And....did the rocking of the train upset your stomach as you ate? Just wondering...for future trips with my husband! Thank you so much! Lynne

[bettyskitchen]

@passionateaboutmusic A hot brown is a Kentucky sandwich. I have two recipes for the hot brown sandwich in bettyskitchen. The one from the Brown Hotel in Louisville is the authentic version. No, the train did not bother my stomach at all. I highly recommend it!

--Betty :)

[ohpineapples]

My Dad would have loved this video! My Dad was a HUGH, HUGH train fan!! ;) His Dad, my Grandpa was an old railroad train Engineer!Yep, he was the 1 that drove the train and tooting that horn ; ) We have so many pics of him and his old trains he drove or "conducted?". Those trains were so cool back then. I also love trains b/c of my Dad and Grandpa. My Dad said his Dad was gone alot b/c he was traveling and driving the train across country. What a cool job! Thanks Betty that brought back memories

[bigbitchification]

[lGaming]

[stellaluna4u2]

[richardpeej]

I love this video Betty-one of my favourites of many

[bettyskitchen]

It's one of the favorite trips that we took! Thanks for your sweet comment!

--Betty :)

[richardpeej]

I missed this one Betty. It looked as though you all enjoyed yourselves on the train. The food looked absolutely wonderful.

Richard :-)

[bettyskitchen]

Hi Richard,

Yes, we had a great time. It took a little getting used to the train swaying back and forth, but the food was wonderful! Thanks for your nice comment!

--Betty :)

[TAXENGINEER]

Rick your lucky to have such a charming and lovely wife..Thanks for video Professor!

[bettyskitchen]

You are welcome for the video! I hope you enjoyed it! (Thanks for your nice compliment!)

--Betty  :)

[ndnflava]

[bettyskitchen]

Yes, I will be posting that before long!

--Betty :)

[bettyskitchen]

I've been on it twice, and I'm sure I will do it again! Thanks for commenting!

--Betty :)

[tdjtx]

Hi Betty, I really enjoyed this trip. I'm from Bardstown, that train actually passes right near where I grew up in Samuels Ky, just up from Jim Beam. I've never ridden the Dinner train, one of my sisters was the hostess back in the 80's. I hope you were able to visit the Maker's Mark distillery, which is just outside Bardstown. Did you'all eat at any of the great restaurants in town? Many serve country ham made locally.

[bettyskitchen]

Yes, we did go to Maker's Mark, and I uploaded a video on that trip. It was a lot of fun. We ate at the Old Talbot Tavern in Bardstown--very quaint and great food!

--Betty :)

[Yoyoenix91]

Hello Betty, my name is Dylan, and I'm 18 years old, and I love several of your recipes that I had my parents try out. Do you have any ideas for recipes that may utilize either Fried Turkey or Pumpkin Pie? With the Xmas season upon us, I figure I should convince them to try something new.

Keep up the good work on your videos! :3

[bettyskitchen]

Thanks for your compliments on my videos. I'm really late in getting back to you, since we were on a cruise until Dec. 11. I really don't know any recipes that use the particular foods you mentioned. That's something interesting for me to figure out!

--Betty :)

[Yoyoenix91]

Don't worry about it, hope you enjoyed the cruise!

My family ended doing a "Finger Food Feast" instead of dealing with a turkey and everything else. It included Teriyaki Chicken Wings, Pinwheels, Stuffed Pizza Slices, Cheese & Crackers, Nachos, etc. The only real "Christmasey" meal was probably the Green Bean Caserole that my Aunt begs for each year. xD

[JoeHell67]

Hi Betty,

dinner train, what a classy style field trip!

something small i noticed was the lemon piece in that little 'sack' on your hubby's dish... i will copy that!

Why don't they allow children under five on the train? Makes no sense to me right now...

Maybe they're afraid that younger children may get sick by the train shaking and can't hold themselves....

btw. It's hard but, Rick's Menu would be my favorite on this one ;-)

Joseph from Germany

[bettyskitchen]

Hi Joe!

The little sach for the lemon was a nice touch! I don't know why they don't allow children under 5--maybe afraid they will get sick, or they will be scared and cry and spoil the dinner for the other guests...I just don't know. Rick is the fish-eater in out family. I like prim rib! Thanks for commenting! I will be away for a couple of weeks, but I will be in touch after that!

Take care, Joe.

--Betty :)

[waitEveryday]

Is it me or did that coffee cup look huge. Sure wish I could have taken the trip. Looks lovely.

[bettyskitchen]

It was a very large coffee cup-and the coffee was really good! It was a lovely trip, and I'm glad you came along "virtually," at least! Thanks for your nice comment!

--Betty :)

[merchant2]

Hi Betty

I really enjoy your "field trip" videos. It is great to to tag along, very interesting to see your neck of the woods as they say. Please keep them coming! Thanks again.

[bettyskitchen]

I enjoy the field trips, too! I'm glad you enjoy coming along! Thanks for your lovely comment!

--Betty :)

[ChristmasLightt]

Nice Atmosphere! I like desert - blackberry cobbler!

[bettyskitchen]

Thanks! We really enjoyed the trip! I didn't choose the blackberry cobbler to make, because I had already uploaded one of those back in the summer when blackberries were is season here! You might want to look at that one in bettyskitchen. It is very easy to make!

--Betty :)

[ChristmasLightt]

Atmosphere on a Kentucky Dinner train! rib sandwich looks delicious! thnx 4 this video! I enyoed this Positive video! :)

[bettyskitchen]

You are welcome for the video! I am glad you liked it! I thought about making the prime rib sandwich, but decided on the apple dumpling instead. I will try to get to the prime rib sandwich later!

--Betty :)

[bettyskitchen]

Hi Daniel,

She really enjoyed it! Thanks for your sweet comment!

--Betty :)

[PointingTheWeigh]

Oh! Thankyou for taking us along with you all!

[bettyskitchen]

We are delighted that you came along! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

--Betty :)

[PointingTheWeigh]

That trip was so lovely. A lovely day out and in such style.

The food looked delicious and elegantly presented what with doylies etc and with such lovely scenery.

Such a shame that you grandson wasn't able to go along but as you said, he can go along soon, he wont miss out I am sure.

Your daughter is a pretty lady!

Love and hugs to you all xxx

[bettyskitchen]

Thanks for all of your lovely comments! It's so nice getting them early in the morning here--such a bright start to the day! You are a wonderful inspiration for me, Linda!

[skillerboi89]

[bettyskitchen]

Hi Brad! Thanks for your lovely comment about the dinner train trip! Yes, the Derby Pie that Chelsea had had chocolate chips in it--it's great! (I actually have the recipe for Derby Pie posted on bettyskitchen, if you're interested.)

--Betty :)

[Jesikka06]

ive always wanted to ride the dinner train since i was little and havent had the chance yet but this video definately made me feel like i was right there with you and your family. thanks for sharing!

[bettyskitchen]

I could tell the camera was swaying back and forth, but that's just part of the ride! Thanks for coming along, and thanks for your lovely comment!

--Betty :)

[merchant2]

Big fan of the field trip videos you post..Its great to sit back and feel like you are almsot there. Thanks again Betty!!

[lexlaw007]

Thanks for the recipes and the excursions --- always interesting and enjoyable Betty!

[redgatorade1]

Betty, you and Chelsea look so adorable together! Your whole family is wonderful! Thanks for inviting us along for the journey!

-Mary =]

[atticus9799]

Betty, that looked like lots of fun. I used to live in Williams, Arizona, home to the Grand Canyon Railway. My husband used to work for them and I have ridden on that train many times, however, they do not have a "dinner" train. When my girls were about 3 and 5 they used to have Thomas the Train visit about twice a year and that was also lots of fun. I think that Thomas travels the country at different tourist railways, you may want to look into that for Carter. Thank you!

[bettyskitchen]

Thank you for that information! I didn't know about the traveling Thomas railway. I definitely will look into it! Again, thanks so much for your lovely comment!

--Betty :)

[richellebweber]

betty thats really cool.... thank you for sharing that... u really lovely as always and your family too....

[bettyskitchen]

Thanks for your very lovely comment! I appreciate it so much!

--Betty :)

[Nemie125]

Oh that looks wonderful fun, Betty! Texas toast - now there's something I haven't had for a long time... Thanks for taking all of us on another wonderful adventure! :)

[bettyskitchen]

Thanks for your great comment! The Texas toast was just right for the prime rib sandwich. All of the food was great! I'm glad you enjoyed the trip!

--Betty :)

[Tokelau85]

[bettyskitchen]

Thank you! I was happy to bring you along! I'm glad you enjoyed the ride!

--Betty :)

[GomerDose]

What?? No alcohol on Sunday? What state is this in UTAH? geez

[bettyskitchen]

Not Utah...Kentucky! The town I live in is split down the middle--half wet and half dry. Isn't that silly?

--Betty :)

[kokonutbaby1]

Nice trip! Thanks for the armchair ride, lol..Did u say u already done a recipe on hot brown sandwiche? I need to look that up cuz I have never heard of that before. Sorry Carter did not get to see "Thomas" but it was nice to get Chelsea to come along. Love the video, thanks to all of you!

[bettyskitchen]

Thanks for your nice comment! Yes, I have done a hot brown sandwich (which is delicious!), and I will be doing *the* hot brown from the Brown Hotel in Louisville in the next couple of weeks! Stay tuned...!

Take care, Angie,

--Betty :)

[okiinu]

That was very beautiful and the food looked so good! Thanks for taking us along!

[bettyskitchen]

It was a great trip! The food tasted awesome and the scenery was nice! I was very happy to have you along!

[blessone48021]

[bettyskitchen]

Thanks for your wonderful comment! I love taking you along on my field trips! I hope you enjoy the recipe!

--Betty :)

[ladyluv1000]

Another great video !! thank's for sharing ..

[bettyskitchen]

You're welcome! I really enjoy showing you some things about Kentucky!

--Betty :)

[lexyota]

The closest Ive ever gotten to something like this was eating Popeyes on the NYC subway system. LOL!!XD

[bettyskitchen]

That is funny! I wish you could have come along with us!

--Betty :)

[monkeycasa]

I love field trips! Thanks for bringing us along another one.

We have wine train here in N. California called the Napa Valley Wine Train. About 10 rail cars and they serve both wine and food.

[bettyskitchen]

I was delighted to bring you along on the dinner train! The wine train sounds interesting--10 cars, plus food and wine! Thanks for your lovely comment!

--Betty :)

[theresa8042]

That was beautiful!Thank you for the vid .I love these field trip video's ,they are very informative.

[bettyskitchen]

Thanks for your sweet comment! I am so glad that you like the trips. They are fun to do, and I get to show you a little of my part of the world!

--Betty :)

[towandfish]

Thanks for the ride!

There used to be a similar dinner train in Iowa called the Star Clipper. It was only around about 5 years before they closed it. I imagine even at $40 per person (15 years ago) they had trouble making ends meet.

[bettyskitchen]

This dinner train has been operating about 20 years--They do charge a bit more than $40 for lunch, and dinner is even more expensive! Thanks for your nice comment!

--Betty :)

[CobaltO18]

very interesting Betty!!!! uhmm you weight 115-120?

[bettyskitchen]

I didn't check the scale that closely, but that is a little more than I actually weigh! Nice calculation!

--Betty :)

[brendainny]

very nice video, thanks betty and Chelsea

[bettyskitchen]

Thanks for viewing and commenting! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

--Betty  :)

[frio109]

They have one of these train rides from Cedar Park (Austin) to Burnet. Only they stop along the way by Train Robbers....on Horses and dressed up in cowboy clothes and 6 shooters.

[bettyskitchen]

Getting stopped by Train Robbers sounds exciting! I would like to try that sometime!

--Betty :)

[murphj4]

What!

No alcohol on Sunday? What is this world coming to.

Just kidding.

[bettyskitchen]

Nope, no alcohol on Sunday! If I were a big drinker, I should have picked a different day of the week! Thanks for commenting!

--Betty :)

[rainbowdrops22]

I love these field trips. I've never heard of that strawberry drink you had it looked really good.

What video camera do you use I am looking for a new one and yours is very good?

thanks for uploading Betty. xoxo

[bettyskitchen]

Thanks for your lovely comment! The strawberry drink is a daquiri--It tastes great! The camera we've been using is a Canon PowerShot S5--just a digital camera that we've had for a couple of years. We did not buy a special camera for these videos, because the one we had does pretty well--and we're not professionals, anyway! I'm glad you like it!

--Betty :)

[itsageoffrushthing]

What a lovely train! I loved Thomas the Tank Engine when I was young, and now my nephew adores it too! It's survived through the generations, just like The Wiggles, or Sesame Street!

Is that normal in the US to be served like a salad course before the rest of the meal like that? Because here in Australia, and I know in England as well, salad is served beside the meal or on the side on a separate plate at the same time as the main course...and never before as a salad course like that.

[Danavideofun]

It can be served as the first course or as side dish.

[bettyskitchen]

I totally agree!

--Betty :)

[bettyskitchen]

Thanks for your lovely comment! It seems that everyone has a fascination with trains, so this was a fun trip for us! Regarding the serving of the salad, when I was growing up (eating at home), the salad was just part of the meal. Usually when you go to a restaurant here in Kentucky, you get soup first, then salad, then your entree--unless you request to have it served in a different order! Thanks for your comment!

--Betty :)

[purewic]

We call your dessert a Apple in dressing gown ( apfel im schlafrock ).

Loved this video, you and your doughter are two pretty ladies.

My twins (3 1/2) adore Thomas too.

greetings from Germany

[bettyskitchen]

I'm sure you are an expert at making apple dumplings. I found them to be a little difficult and messy! But, they tasted *wonderful*! I guess we get to live two (or three) childhoods, with the interests of our children and grandchildren!

Best wishes from Kentucky,

--Betty :)

[alphahydri]

What a pretty blouse, Betty! Thanks for sharing your town in Kentucky.

[bettyskitchen]

Thanks for your sweet compliment! I am happy to share my little corner of the world with you!

--Betty :)

[kdave062]

Thank you for the trip Betty, I enjoy all your trips.

Now i see where Chelsea gets her good looks, From you.

Thank you Betty.

[bettyskitchen]

Thank you for your sweet comment! I'm glad you enjoyed the trip!

--Betty :)

[JimmyMacJones]

Great video. :-) Hey, Betty, when I was younger, I loved Thomas the Tank Engine also. :-)

[bettyskitchen]

Thanks, Jimmy! I hope my grandson continues to love Thomas for a long time, because he has so much Thomas stuff--I would hate for him to get tired of it! Have a nice day, Jimmy!

--Betty :)

[rmac45]

Cool, last train ride I had was 10 years ago, a trip up the Yukon in Alaska, but they didn`t serve us lunch, just water. I

[bettyskitchen]

The train ride in Alaska sounds very nice--I'm sure it was quite scenic! Thanks for your nice comment!

--Betty :)

[Heathmah]

What a lovely trip you had. I am getting to see many of the KY sites that I missed out on seeing when I lived there.

I hope you will make either the fish or the sandwich and the strawberry drink you had would be really nice too.

[bettyskitchen]

Thanks for your comment! Maybe I can take you to some of the places in Kentucky that you missed! I'm sorry I didn't pick your choice of the food items to make--I just didn't have anything posted in bettyskitchen that was anything like the apple dumplings. Thanks for your comment!

--Betty :)

[silentfades]

what a stunning family you have

Marc

[bettyskitchen]

Thank you--You are very sweet!
