Rodi Garganica - Mr Bean!

 So after a hard day working on our mediterranean glows!

 We are back up the hill at the resort, dinner was fantastic last night so we are dining in house again and we are definitely having the lobster dumplings also.

The steep hill has a lot to do with dining in house option

 as I don’t really want to 

drive up the hill in the dark … 1/2 cut after diner in town!

Got to chatting with the chef last night and told him of our wonderfull experience in the past with meeting Massimo so tonight a special little starter arrived just for us.

The episode of Mr Bean “on his birthday” came straight to both our minds!

Don’t know if you know the episode, it was the one where he took himself … and teddy, to a flashy restaurant for a birthday treat and ordered the beef Tartare

 Not liking it! 🤮 he tried all manner of ways to dispose of it and at the end because it was all gone and he had a birthday card on his table they felt sad for him so they sent him another dish complementary as he must have loved it so much.

Well we were lucky … no second dish came out! 

Thank goodness!!!!!!

But I’m sorry I just don't do cat food!!! 

and Sands was not a big fan either.

All those the little bones, it is one of my worst nightmares, Sandy looked and laughed as she knew it was going to be a really challenge for me firstly to eat … or work out how to dispose of it with out offending the chef.

So in Mr 🫘 style while the waiters were busying themselves elsewhere a plan had to be hatch … not quite as elaborate as Mr 🫘 … with only a paper napkin and tight jean pockets that was not going to work either! Over the balcony was the only way … but no that could be problematic for the people downstairs!

So wrapped in 2 paper napkins stolen from under the wine bucket, tucked down discreetly beside my leg and the edge of the chair all the time hoping that the wet little suckers wont leak out of the paper napkin's before I have time to work on the next phase of the removal plan! 

Plate went back to the kitchen with the tail and some bones looking like we clearly enjoyed the dish.

Well I couldn’t hardly send the plate back too clean could I. 

As for the disposal … back to our room for a quick visit to get the plastic bag from the bin and tightly lock the cat food away so as to not be discovered by anyone🤢🤞🏼
