HELP!!!!!

I would say Rose & Crown. Only because of the outside option and the possibility of people watching whilst dining, KWIM?

I was thinking just that but I dunno if I can hold out till 9pm for dinner...or 8:30 or so when I'd make the ressie (illuminations is at 9). I hate making these decisions lol.

My 2 cents - go for Coral Reef (don't tell Jo but I don't really care for the food there , though go for the Cadbury's in the tea shop ) As a solo eater you will enjoy having the tank to look and the food is better.


Jo - for renting a car definately look at Mousesavers. To give you an idea price wise, with coupons, etc I got a 9 day rental, midsize car, for $204 including taxes and fees. Also check the transportation board here, I have gotten good leads for discounts there too.

I bought something this weekend for the trip, now sit down because you will be so excited.... I got Kelly and me a pack of ponytail holders. Oh yeah, feel the excitement.

 

[Phibbles]

HOw about a LGMHPC instead?

Oh, okay. That will work.

Have you told her yet or is that this coming week.

 

[puggymom]

Have you told her yet or is that this coming week.

Next Sunday. Her b-day is the 9th, Monday, but SIL is having the family over Sunday for a bar-b-q. SIL and I were doing some planning yesterday. One more week, I swear I am ready to burst (as is SIL)

I can't wait to hear about her reaction...maybe you should just invite all us Fockers up for her birthday party so we can see her reaction in person

June 9th is my SIL's birthday

Ah, you must be Hispanic! I do that, too! I guess all mothers are like that.

Not me... the Bedeaux ancestors temper the Irish and Italians with some snooty entitlement genes! I blame the French for my shoe problem.

I still can't decide. How sad is that?

LOL You are just excitement like crazy!

 

[KatGarcia]

Ok so in trying to figure out which restaurant to eat at I went to all ears and checked the menus... what would I get to eat...

Coral Reef:
Lobster Soup

Pumpkin Risotto - infused with Manchego Cheese and green beans topped with fried parsnips and cranberry sauce
or
Seared Sterling Salmon with ratatouille

The Chocolate Wave* - with brandied cherries


Rose & Crown:
Rose and Crown Cheese Plate - Irish Cheddar, Mushroom Brie, and Stilton Pastry with individual accompaniments
or
Roasted Mushrooms - cooked with Cream and Garlic, served on a puff pastry

Bangers and Mash - traditional English sausages, with braised cabbage and bacon, mashed potatoes and shallot gravy
or
Herb-roasted Lamb - with Irish cheddar potato gratin and Guinness Barbecue Sauce

Baileys Irish Coffee Trifle
or
Sticky Toffee Pudding

I thought this would help...but now I think I'm just hungry!!! What would you choose from the 2??

Yay

That's fine Mo as you know I'm not English so it doesn't offend me And the Cadburys in that shop is so expensive, I was debating on bringing you all a bar over but think 50 bars may use up all my luggage allowance

I think I actually prefer the UK menu, even though we're going to CR and not to R&C

 

[Lifelong_Dreamer]

Well Jo, if you want to bring Cadbury's over you can cross the Canadians off your list, we already have it over here!

Ah but is it proper Cadburys? Isn't there some US law about milk quality in chocolate or something and that's why it doesn't taste the same I know that US Cadburys does not taste the same as ours, I don't think it helps that it's hot over there too!!!

I have no idea, we have all sorts of Cadbury products here though. I think in the States it is very limited.
