Yeah. I remember once in college, we were ordering in Chinese food, and one of the people in our group was first-generation American, both parents from China, and apparently had very rarely eaten at typical American Chinese restaurants. We had to describe all the dishes to her, because she had no idea what anything was from the names.
Is dim sum actual Chinese, or an American invention? Now that I'm thinking about Chinese food, I want dim sum. And I don't think there's a vegetarian dim sum place in DC.
Oh golly, I almost passed out. Why did I choose tonight todo sheets & towels????!!!!???
This morning while removing sheets from bed I couldn't help but notice the "pillow top" of the mattress liner was just all sorts of shreded. How? Not a clue, as the sheets are not. So I decide to go to Target and buy a new one before hitting the laundromat. While standing there trying to figure out which one I want (and not really knowing, I'm not schooled in these things) I get a call from work asking needless technical questions. It was then I realized I hadn't eaten in 10 hours, and could not funtionally answer said questions. Ugh McD's for diiner. Now I am at the laundromat alone save one lady ENDLESSLY talking loud on her cell. Why can't my sheets wash themselves?!?!? /whine
Why can't my sheets wash themselves?!?!?
If ever I were to invent sheets that wash themselves, I would have them do so without warning at 3 am.
So as to give you a washing too?
You know, o_a, you do have friends with a washer/dryer...
Oh, dear. Ginger, he's just so fucking adorable I could die.
Because I'm guessing it's not incense and garlands of flowers, contrary to what one might think around these parts.
It's funny 'cause it's true.
Isn't chop suey also strictly an American Chinese dish?
Isn't chop suey also strictly an American Chinese dish?
Yep. One of the earliest ones, I believe.
Is dim sum actual Chinese, or an American invention?
Dim sum is actually Chinese AFAIK, Cantonese I think.
I was under the impression that many of the Chinese dishes served in the US are really variants on their Chinese counterparts. Like mu shu in China didn't come with the cute little pancakes like it does here.
