Dinner with Ian and Russell

On Saturday night we had dinner at our friend Ian's house. He and Russell were our Aboriginal guide during the camping trip. Russell picked us up and when we pulled up to Ian's house there were about 8 cars parked in the driveway and on the front lawn. We asked if he invited other people over for dinner. He just laughed and said they were all his family's cars. A majority of his extended family was there, including his daughters, nieces, nephews, grandchildren, and father-in law.
His wife made several dishes, all of which included some form of pork. Ian made an elaborate fruit salad and a bread pudding for dessert. He made a point to tell us that the apples in the fruit salad were "Pink Lady." He had asked the person at the grocery store which apple would go best in a fruit salad and they recommended pink ladies. I thought it was cute that he wanted to pick the right apples.
