Bless my cotton socks!

It all started with an invite to eat steaks with the cast from Tap Dogs. Tap Dogs consists of a cast of 8 young male professional tap dancers. Due to the fact that the cast is SO buff and they are on a strict diet to be super hot for the show that starts in London, they were unable to attend. Bugger! One of the guys in the show was from SYTYCD in Australia and I wanted to meet them so badly. Crazy neighbor Jane’s friend Mandy is working for the show and she said that she can do one step better. I am going to go see a private rehearsal of the show before they take off to London! So, I guess I just had to settle for dinner.

Well, that was eaaaaazzzzzzyyyy! (Matt and Steph R. that one is for you) Mandy’s brother is the restaurant manager at a great steak house called Kingsleys. We ate right on the water where Russell Crow lives and I guess when he is in town he is a regular. I didn’t see him though I plan to go back and hunt for a sighting. Here is a picture taken from our table of the night skyline. Look at that moon!

After garlic prawns, a loaf of bread, crab cakes, grilled octopus, burrata cheese with 20 year aged balsamic, a rib eye steak for 1 with béarnaise sauce, steamed broccoli, potato gratin, cauliflower, cheesecake, crème brulee, a cheese plate, and 4 bottles of wine we decided to call it a night. Ask me what I paid….$60.00! Tim gave us half of the lot for free! Meet Tim and Mandy.

Here is the crew! Mandy is the blonde that looks like Nicole Schroeder. The director of the show is the red head. They are both English. Jen is Jane’s friend with the long brown hair and the blonde so graciously cupping my boob (thank goodness for the padded bra, I couldn’t even feel it) is crazy Jane. Here is a picture of us laying upside down on the warf. You can see the city….upside down. Good one Jane! :)

We had so much fun and lively conversation. 2 Aussies, 2 Brits, and a Yank together for steaks. It looks like I landed on my feet in Australia. Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you! Like Jane would say, “Bless your cotton socks!”
