Mixed Grill

Tonight was supposed to be a musical one, but our bassist had a last-minute commitment so the rest of us postponed, leaving me with an unexpected free evening. The Loved One suggested we head up to the local RSL Club for dinner, drinks & the Meat Tray Raffle. Sounded good to me... Arriving at the Club, we bought $20 worth of tickets, which came with a $15 dinner discount voucher, ordered our meals & drinks, then waited for the numbers to be called

First ticket number was way below our range, second was over. I joked that if this was an artillery exercise, the next number would be spot on. Then the buzzer went off for our meals &, as I went to collect them, they called one of our numbers. The Loved One went to claim our meat tray & I returned with dinners. As we were about to tuck in, they called another of our numbers... so I went this time to claim another tray. A short time later, as I was collecting round two of our drinks, one of our numbers was up again... This was getting embarrassing

It was worse when we were leaving the Club, collecting three swags full of steaks, sausages, pork chops, eggs, bacon, chickens & roasting beef. It looked like we'd mugged a Butcher. We decided that one of the trays would find a good home at a friend's place. He had a motorcycle accident in January & has broken feet & ribs, so moving around is a challenge & trips to the supermarket even more so. So... we've just come home after a couple of hours of catching-up & watching Fail clips on YouTube. Now my ribs hurt...

Just goes to show there's more than one way to bring home the bacon?

*grins, ducks, runs*

Good on you for sharing the bounty, too.

Well, the alternative was to make pigs of ourselves...
