State visit with Australia's PM includes al fresco dinner in White House Rose Garden
ABC News ^ | 9/20/2019 | Meredith McGraw

President Donald Trump has used the Rose Garden at the White House for major policy announcements, Medal of Honor ceremonies, impromptu press conferences and as a backdrop for Twitter videos, but on Friday the first lady will steal it for an evening of al fresco dining in honor of Australia.

Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison will be the second foreign leader honored with a rare state visit to the White House since Trump took office.

The day will begin with the military pomp of a South Lawn arrival, then the leaders will hold a one-on-one meeting in the Oval Office before more meetings with staff, a press conference in the East Room of the White House, and a lunch at the State Department. The day will end with dinner in a lavishly decorated and illuminated Rose Garden.

Morrison also plans to travel to Wapakoneta, Ohio, on Sunday to tour an Australian-owned plant with Trump.

Trump and Morrison last met on the sidelines of the G7 summit in Biarritz, France.

“Scott, he is fantastic,” Trump said after their meeting.

The only way to properly eat outside is to use paper plates and plastic utensils. And hot dogs....maybe hamburgers. If they’re having steak, it’s allowable to use styrofoam plates. Ditto with ribs.

That would be an excellent choice. There’s a store in the area that stocks all kinds of unusual meats, including kangaroo. All frozen of course.

I had ostrich steak once from a local restaurant. It was very good. Tasted and looked like beef.

Have to admit, first time I went to Outback Restaurant there were Joey Burgers on the menu. Yes I thought it was kangaroo meat. Wifey had a big laugh.

Marcon is the only other leader for whom the Trumps hosted a State Dinner. It does seem that a State Dinner is not an entitlement foreign leaders can expect from President Trump.

I love it that Australia is elevated to this level.

Sounds pretty, but light. Reads like Melania chose it. I would not eat baby garlic rouille. I bet Donald doesn’t either.

I’d take Dover sole every day.

Yes, I agree.

Real Dover sole is wonderful. Hopefully the rouille is on the side.
