Much fun.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Calibri;\">This time we were kindly invited as guests of The Grollo Group and enjoyed the company of some old friends. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Calibri;\">Ok, rant time\u2026at $165\/head, held in a shed, with those jet-engine like things as heaters, average and I mean average wine, why did we have to do the \u201cchicken or beef\u201d shuffle? Honestly, one of my pet hates. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Calibri;\">A mysterious white, creamy sauce graced both the dried out chicken and the grey beef. I\u2019m ok with that at a school formal, where \u201ceating is cheating\u201d, or perhaps the wedding of the 20 year old kids of some friends, but at a function jam packed with some of the wealthiest people in Melbourne?
