KT, bless your heart. It just feels strange. I used to do laundry at my sisters when we had family Sunday. My bro-in-law commented "I think your brother only visits for the free laundry" um. Noooo. Free? It was a 90 min drive each way. Plus we talked, ate, played games, etc. W/E.
Grr. Sheets need another round of dryer. And this lady has not shut up yet!!! All ize wants to do is go home and play with new iPhone software!!
Eta: to fix typo, cuz "family sinday" just sounds wrong!!
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.
But the duck, curiously enough, does, per Paul. The bastard.
It just feels strange.
Well then stop feeling up the washer/dryer!
Ginger, he is adorable! How's he adjusting to his "new" home?
Ginger! Cute! Mr. Peabody has reduced me to shouting out words!
Oh dear lord I am studying for an interview like it was a term final. I don't desperately want this job (though it does sound good), but I will be mortified if I reflect badly on my friend-who is a fairly new, if enthusiastic friend.
But the duck, curiously enough, does, per Paul. The bastard.
Well yeah, pancakes and green onion, but doesn't the duck come with the pancakes here?
Also, I have a possible situation. I would have to give only one week notice. Giving notice at all will be sad, but giving a week seems worse.
Good luck on the interview, DJ! A week is better than nothing.
Ginger - Mr. Peabody is sooo cute! And he has a toy Octopus - adorable. Plus, Mr. Peabody is such a good n ame.
The regional differences in Chinese food within the US are pretty interesting, too. Like, in the NY area, my Chinese food takeout staples are sesame noodles and orange tofu, but in New England, I have a lot more trouble finding those. New England Chinese food does have scallion pancakes, though. And frequently bread and butter. Also, my mother says that shrimp with lobster sauce is different in NY and New England, but I don't remember what the difference is. I also vaguely recall some sort of beef on wooden skewers thing that you can get in Boston but not in NY, but I can't really remember.
When I was visiting LA a few years ago, my cousins took me out to this Chinese place that seems to have not redecorated since it opened in the thirties. Totally over-the-top "Oriental" stuff everywhere. I'm not sure they changed the menu since then, either -- it still had chop suey.
