 ML> Of course, your quote was in AUD, which last

 GJ> Currently Aus$1 = US$0.91, and rising.

If you're lucky, the rate will continue in this direction,
precluding the possibility that you will be saddled with
unruly USAn guests in the future.

 ML> Just because Jason doesn't normally cook (that task being
 ML> taken by his doting father) doesn't mean he can't cook.
 GJ> I can see I will have to encourage him or his current girlfriend to be
 GJ> more active in the kitchen.

Speaking of luck, good luck with that!

 GJ> offered him wine and Tina asked him if that was allowed with the
 GJ> chemo. He replied, "Probably not.", then held out his glass for
 GJ> filling. 
 ML> Your kind of guy, eh.
 GJ> I warm to him.  Last night he said he had asked his Dr about drinking
 GJ> with his current medication, and the doc said one or two drinks of
 GJ> wine would do no harm, so we finished off his cask.

Just the kind of in-law you want. Is Tina cute?

 GJ> Steaks - Scotch fillet, Sirloin, Aged rump, Kangaroo fillet, Lamb
 GJ> backstrap, Chicken breast, T-bone, Pork Rib Eye - were available at
 GJ> prices between $19.90  and $24.90 DIY, or $2 more if cooked for you.

What size portion? If a kilo (a "Michael or Dave portion"), then
the prices aren't bad; but if 200-250g, i.e., normal human portions,
then extortionate.
