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.

Meh, fish is cat food.

Crawdads are bait.

Lobster and crab are fertilizer.

Don’t like the texture, and the smell makes me retch, even when you first pull it out of the water my senses rebel violently. I *can* eat it (not allergic) but I sure don’t like it.

Yeah, I’m not much for critters from the water, fresh or salt. You folk can have my share. Enjoy.

I love Dover sole too.....especially when it is de-boned at the table. Doubt that will be possible at a formal dinner.
