JACKSONS REDUX

Well it's actually redux number 5 I think, I love Jacksons, it can do no wrong. I've only ever had one bad meal there and that was about 6 years ago, I'll even blame my date on the night for that. Hey I don't have a relationship with that girl any longer yet the restaurant stands by me, she never lets me down ;)
.
So I was keen to have the Dego menu again but Linda doesn't eat meat so main menu it was.

So I think that fairly makes up for me missing her birthday 2 years in a row now, but good friends understand these things and I blame her entirely for not reminding me ...hehe!
