We have never eaten at Mama Melrose and were thinking about doing it this year. What was your experience there?

The service was so slow, we almost did not get to have reserved seats at Fantasmic both times, they really over sell that offer. If the food was excellent I could have overlooked that however I found it to be mediocre Italian food at best, expensive too it isn't like you are eating high end meats of seafood. Some love it.

Basically I find Disney to have sub-par Italian Food offerings overall in all levels of dining. I really wish they'd hire some amazing chefs that know how to prepare good Italian fare. Tony's can sure use a shot in the arm.

I'm going to try the New Trattoria al Forno at the Boardwalk. It is getting some positive reviews aside from being noisy like Brown Derby. The Meatballs are getting wonderful accolades as is the Treviso. I'd like to try the Polpetta Gigante, Giant Meatball Ricotta Cannelloni and Marinara for my entree. Slurp. Great reviews on this one.

Moving on to read on my new mystery novel, it's cloudy and damp here today. A nice time to cozy up with a good murder lol.

Ha! You sound like me when watching my NCIS and CSI favorites. Better yet Blue Bloods, Tom Selleck. Yep that man still has it going for him.

 

[Gabe1]

It's official. Princess Charlotte Elizabeth Diana.

I'm am beyond happy that the first part of her name was not Diana. 3rd name a nice tribute.

At least the kid will never go to a public school. Charlotte....barf. Old fashion name.

From what my DS explained to me long back was the bands have a value in theory and it is that import export fees and customs. Not worth the hassle or expense for Disney.

That would be my guess too.

 

[FutureCEO]

leave work: 63 degrees

come home: 81 degrees


we didn't have any 70 degree days yet

 

[Gabe1]

pretty sure those are the shrimps.

That is what I thought.

Lobsters, at least the ones I order in restaurants are much larger than even the famed
NOLA Airport cockroaches.

I agree, he just gets more appealing with age....wait , I forgot, I like younger men. My husband is 3 month's younger than I am. And there is always goofernymost. Sorry if I slaughtered your moniker. I'm not a good at spelling anymore.

 

[Gabe1]

If your crawfish taste like swamp you're not cooking them right.

Hold on a moment. Fried catfish be good.

Ha! You and @donaldtoo . He and I have had this discussion of bottomfeeders for years and years. He will continue to eat those swamp things I will continue to be repulsed.

And this will not be the last time you see this great debate, it's a thing.

 

[betty rose]

Yeah, you didn't ask me either, but it's hit or miss most times. You'd be better off with Prime Time or SciFi. Or hopping over to Epcot.

Shoot my daughter picked this for our new restaurant in Oct. I can't plan what I'm doing tomorrow, let alone month's in advance. Oh well, I always go along with the flow, cause I'm not a planner, and glad she is. I know I gave birth to her, but I can't figure out how any two people can be so different.

I think it's lovely.
Hopefully not going to be shortened to "Charlie" by the media.

 

[betty rose]

That may be a reason, but it's no excuse for talking to you that way. You deserve better.

Yes, everyone should have respect, but I've been there with my daughter...she finally came around in her 30's. Hang in there when they get some sense, maybe they will realize we have been through it all, and realize that nothing is really easy. If I have over stepped my bounds, please forgive me. I so hope the best for you. Kids, are difficult at any era of time. Just trying to help, Tell me to shut up if you wish, I will take no offense.

 

[betty rose]

We are all BIG fans of naps here, irrespective of age or gender!
Am I right, @Cesar R M?

Love to hear this, sometimes sleep comes in the afternoon, and not at night. I've been known to clean my entire house at night, including vacuuming at night. Good thing my husband is a deep sleeper.

 

[betty rose]

You're right.
He's going.
Don't care how much it costs me.

And as much as Adopted Son is little to no trouble, I'll be happy to have my basement back.

Mark my words though - Bro #2, who is about to be evicted, is NOT moving in.
I've already told him so. In no uncertain terms.
That would be like jumping out of the frying pan, and into the fire. Plus, his dog is nuts!

I need some sanity in my life.
And a few pieces of new furniture. New stuff makes me happy. How shallow am I?

I'm so sorry you are having such a rough time. I will put you in my prayers tonight.

Indeed he does.

*swoon*

Charlie would be so horrible... I prefer Beth....

I have never had a meal I didn't enjoy at Prime Time. Dad's Electric Lemonade yummy while waiting for a table. They do have issues seating on time though, so plan 30 minutes earlier just in case...

You did pretty well actually... only one letter out of place... It's G O O F Y E R N M O S T.

I have an old fashioned name, been in my family for years. My great grandmother on my mother's side said Betty should never disappear from the family tree. So, I have that name.....but it is disappearing , and that's fine with me....

I love Charlotte, my best friend had that name...Shows how old I am.
