A couple of slabs

One drunken evening in the 20th century, HJT and I made a bet that the first team to win an AFL Grand Final out of Hawthorn and Collingwood, requires that the winning team's supporter has 20 slabs of choice bought for him.

A more sober discussion saw the bet reduced from 20 to 2 slabs.

On Christmas Eve 2008, Harvey made good on his bet.

Fisherman's "Basket"

It is the bane of my existence that it is now difficult to find an establishment that serves a fisherman's basket in an actual basket. Andrew and Harley share my view that far too many Johnny Come Lately's serve our favourite seafood dish on a plate. The following photos show the type of night that can be had if you look down at your seafood and see a basket underneath...






The kids gave it big smiles and the thumbs up!






A satisfying night at The Manningham...
