Dinner

In the evening of the 30th I returned from the dentist and decided to go to the restaurant next to the hotel. I had found a note by the manager about a personal function taking place in the hotel restaurant that evening. It explained the party tent being build up the day before.
The place next door was a restaurant named rumps and ribs. It was part of a chain and it was a popular place. This mainly due to the all you can eat menus and the huge portions. They quoted South African in their menu and it did remind me of what I’d seen in the most southern tip of Africa. Meat meat meat, except for a tiny item for vegetarians…but that was likely for those you bring along that don’t like meat. Obviously it was a salad.
The maitre’d was assisted by a girl who wore a big brown fake mustache, she seated me. 
A young waitress approached and announced she was Casey and would be serving me. I ordered a drink and looked at the menu. I decided on a small steak, still 220 gram. While I waited I typed out a small story about the dentist, still fresh in memory.
The steak was fine, I have tasted better, but I guess I might have chosen rare on another visit instead of medium rare. The vegetables I ordered as a side dish actually were rare, not the rare kind, but definitely undercooked.
In the meantime I watched the people around me. Lots of things to see if you take a moment to observe. A man seated at the next table wanted to go for a smoke, he spoke to a waitress and left with his bottle of beer. After a while a small family settled down on the table and when the man returned from his smoke he found his table taken.
They had huge deserts, I took a crumble pie and they brought it with a ball of ice cream. That was pretty good.
