Goofy's Candy Co.

Then they had dinner at...


Raglan Road



Where they started with this appetizer...





Dalkey Duo - Battered cocktail sausages with a Dalkey mustard dipping sauce



Rarity said, "We loved the Dalkey mustard dipping sauce and wanted to take a jar of it home. The sausages were perfectly fried and had a nice spice to them even without the mustard sauce."




For their entrees, her DSis chose...




Banger & Booz - Guinness & onion bangers on mash, topped with caramelized onions & beef stew


Rarity said, "She loved it, which is saying a lot since she normally doesn't like onions."




Rarity had this for her entree...




Lambo - Lamb shank braised in rosemary jus with mash, leeks, shiitake mushrooms & baby carrots



Rarity said, "It was fall-off-the-bone tender, and tasted like the best pot roast I've ever had."





Then for their shared dessert they had...





Ger's Bread & Butter Pudding



Rarity said, "We only managed about half, but loved every bit that we ate. Our server was kind enough to box up the leftovers and even put the two sauces in little containers to take with us."

Then our final update of the day came from JessiLynn015.


She and her family were at Hollywood Studios tonight and had dinner at...


Mama Melrose

Here is what they had...




Charred Strip Steak with five-cheese baked macaroni, aged balsamic-shallot butter, and Chianti Wine Reduction


JL015 said, "DH and Mom got the Steak. They had it gone way before I even finished mine! It was definitely enjoyed."






Seafood Arrabbiata - shrimp, mussels, calamari, fish of the day, and whole-wheat spaghetti tossed with spicy seafood sauce


JL015 said, "I had the seafood spaghetti. The sauce was spicy, but overall it was SO GOOD! I was glad I didn't go for the steak."




Then for their desserts, they chose...




Tiramisu - Layers of Ladyfingers soaked in coffee and topped with whipped mascarpone cheese


JL015 said, "For dessert, I had the tiramisu. I'm not a chocolate fan so I had a hard time finding a dessert I wanted. The CM said there wasn't a lot of chocolate in it so I ordered it. Despite the bites of chocolate it was good."







Chocolate Amarettini Cheesecake
Chocolate-flavored Cheesecake with a Cookie Crust, Almond Cream, and Italian Amarettini Cookies
