Eggbert's Travels

Sunday 24^th July 2016

SHE SAID:

We headed over to Ballarat today.

Erica had suggested that we check out the 321 Cafe at Learmouth, where Maddie is going to have her 18^th birthday party, in September. Maddie's boyfriend Jack came with us, but Aaron was around at a mates place, & we didn't see him. Lunch was tasty & the cafe was popular.

This place was the first theme park in Australia -

It is 5km from the house, but closed for the winter

HE SAID:

Well, it is six years since I finished work! Six years! How bloody lucky are we? We have done so much and been to so many places, meeting loads of people along the way. We have about a quarter of our old income, but ten times the fun!

Lunch was tasty, but it did make me think. There has been a trend for quite number of years to serve "open burgers". Whilst my food was tasty, it was really just a pile of burger ingredients served on one of these lately trendy wooden boards. What is it with that! A board! What is wrong with a plate? And it seems that having a wanky wooden board with a meal's ingredients on it means that you can charge a premium. They did. (No chips either. Double fail).
