RSL Raffles

Caroline and I have joined the local RSL club, Club Five Dock with cheap drinks and pokies. And with our membership we each received vouchers worth AU$75 for free meals, free drinks and raffle tickets. The raffle tickets for the Sunday Meat raffle and the Friday Surf and Turf raffle were particularly good for us. On one Sunday we went for the Meat raffle and I won......twice. First I chose a huge leg of lamb thinking of going for value rather then the size of our fridge and then I won again and chose 5 pork chops.
The next Friday there was the Surf and Turf raffle unfortunately I was still on my way home from work so Caroline went on her own with our vouchers after she finished work because the vouchers were only valid for a limited time. And then she text me what was keeping me, because she needed me to carry the loot.
She won big time. As there was a whole variety the first time she won she went for the Surf (a small cooler containing a dozen Sydney Rock Oysters and what must be at least 1 Kilo of cooked prawns) ...


....then with her 2nd win as it was Surf and Turf she choose 5 big rump steaks. When she won a 3rd time she was slightly embarrassed for having won again but she stood up and chose 6 nice lamb steaks. Our fridge is stuffed and we really enjoyed the shrimps but especially the oysters.
We had them Kilpatrick our way (one oyster in a Bloody Mary filled shooter)
This is how our night progressed:


The first 1/2 dozen with half the prawns.





As we started the 2nd half dozen of oysters the pile of prawns had diminished significantly.


......until there were none left......
