No More Steak - Never Ever!

Saturday night we went out for one of Seans friends birthdays to Rockpool at Crown. I had my suspicions from the start that this was going to be an 'interesting' evening.

For entree I had Duck Ragu (or something like that). For starters I don't eat duck, plus it tasted very strong and smelt horrible, so I didn't eat that.

For mains I had some Wagyu steak, which I ordered well done. When the waitress brought it out it was dripping with blood. I had fears that the meat would possibly start mooing at me it was so uncooked. I sent the steak back, then 2 minutes later they bought it back, slightly cooked on the outside, still mooshy with blood on the inside. anyway I ate some of the outer layer of steak and had a carrot as a side (the carrot was very nice).

Don't ask me what I had for dessert (Sean ordered it). It was some pastry thingy with a sort of creamy hazelnut filling. It was nice, but by that point I was so over the whole place I couldn't really be bothered eating it so I left most of that too.

so if you are looking at going to the Rockpool, my advice - run in the other direction! It was horrible. I could have known from the foul stench as soon as you walk in (I think it was the smell of the meat they have hanging near the entrance).

After dinner Sean and his friends then decided to go for drinks at some bar at Crown. At the bar they had some sheila singing who was pretty good (the best part of the evening). Therefore I got to zone out and listed to the music, as the conversation wasn't much. When Sean goes out with his friends the conversations has as much depth as a babies paddling pool. If your not talking about what brand names you own, or how rich you are, it's just not worth talking about.

I have vowed after Saturday that if I ever have a birthday dinner, if you don't want to come - just say so! I will completely understand if you don't want to go to either all you can eat, or McDonalds for dinner!

On Sunday I had a lazy recovery day. Watched a couple of movies on TV, did my ironing and just generally bludged most of the day, so it was a nice recharger for the start of the new week.

So far we have no plans for this weekend, which is good, as being school holidays I am sure I am going to feel buggered by the end of the week.

Anyway, better go!
