Kathy, this post is for you, my WDW food report.
Day One:
Our first culinary adventure was while we were still in South Carolina. I decided to pick up some Krispy Kreme doughnuts for us to have for breakfast the first couple of mornings. We don't have a KK in our town, but there is one in Charleston, which is right on our way. I could have made other arrangements for breakfast, but during a conversation I had with DH a month ago I found out he had never had a "HOT" glazed Krispy Kreme doughnut.
This was after a serious debate where he insisted that heating them in the microwave was the same thing. Now girls, any of you who have had a hot, freshly made KK glazed doughnut know that is blasphemy. I was determined to show him the error of his ways and had my fingers crossed the entire way to Krispy Kreme.
When we pulled in, the "HOT" sign was on, which I took to be a good sign for the rest of this vacation. We went in and as my friends, I am sure you weren't planning on asking how many of those hot doughnuts I consumed myself since friends don't keep count
, but I will tell you DH ate two in the store and another in the car. And, more importantly, he agreed that I was right; there is nothing like a hot, glazed doughnut freshly off the line. I don't know what was sweeter, the glaze on that doughnut or actually hearing DH admit I was right in front of witnesses.
We were supposed to have dinner our first evening at Raglan Road, but due to a series of really bad storms along the interstate in Georgia and over a 45 minute check-in nightmare at OKW
, we weren't able to make it in time. Instead, because were tired and hungry, we went for something relatively quick, the food court at POFQ.
DN had the mac and cheese with carrots and as she said, "a measly little cookie for dessert". She ate the carrots with some ranch dressing and ate the cookie, but she said the mac and cheese was "too cheesy" and wouldn't eat it.
DD had the cheeseburger and fries and ate maybe three bites of the entire thing, but she normally doesn't eat much on travel days. I think she gets a little motion sick in the car, but since she can't tell us, it is just a guess.
SIL had the pot roast with mashed potatoes and some sort of greens (collards or spinach, maybe) and said it was wonderful. She said the roast was very tender and had a great flavor. She and I both ordered the carrot cake for dessert and we shared with DN since she only had a "measly little cookie". All three of us liked the carrot cake.
DH had the chicken and shrimp creole which he said was "ok". He said it had very little flavor and looked a lot better than it tasted.
I had the rotisserie chicken / BBQ rib combo plate with mashed potatoes and corn. The chicken was really good - tender and juicy with lots of flavor. The ribs had a good flavor but were very fatty. The corn was normal WDW corn, meaning out of a can and the mashed potatoes were good. The portion was enough that I could share some with DH but was not the portion size I have seen of the chicken/rib combo at Cosmic Ray's.
We got these meals to-go and ate them in our villa. We do that a good bit now during our trips since you can no longer get take-out from Olivia's at OKW. Because there really isn't a large selection at Goods Foods to Go, if we are looking for a quick meal for the kids and the adults can't stomach the thought of another burger or chicken strip, we will head to POFQ and get the meal to-go. We really like the food court there and the cast members have always been really helpful.
woohoo:
