Hi Nancy,

 NB>  NB>> A little Chinese restaurant that I take an older friend to
 NB> regularly,  NB>> I'm like that... it's either their (modest) buffet,
 NB> or Yi Shing
 NB>  NB>> Chicken and Scallops lunch special...

 RH> First time there I'd have to see a menu/what was on the buffet. Follow
 RH> up times I'd have a better idea of what to go for without a menu.

 NB> It's another place where pretty much everything is good... ;)  First
 NB> time anywhere I'd be the same, even going with someone else... check
 NB> out what is available, either menu or buffet...  :)

A place where most anything is good would make it hard to make a
decision. Depends on if the taste buds are set for chicken, beef,
seafood or otherwise, and then the veggies to go with the meat. Do I
want beef and broccoli or seafood and mixed veggies or chicken and
mushrooms?


 NB>  NB>> At Taste of Japan, I'm still seeing things I'd like to try at
 NB> least  NB>> once... so I alternate them with my more standard picks...
 NB> ;)

 RH> I see; I'd try to go with ones that weren't too heavy on the rice as
 RH> it adds carbs fast. Lots of vegetables, some rice, and protein to
 RH> balance the carbs.

 NB> That can be fairly easy.... at last resort, you can ask for less rice
 NB> to be served with the choice...  :)  But his offerings are usually
 NB> quite
 NB> well balanced...  :)

Sounds like, if he knows the reason for wanting less rice, he'd be very
willing to accomodate the request.


 NB>  NB>> Probably lots of sitters available there, for sure... :)

 RH> Without question, and I think a lot of it is on a trade off basis.

 NB> No surprise there.  :)

We got back to WF yesterday, went over to the Italian place for supper.
As usual, very good and as usual, I brought half of mine home.


 NB>  RH>> OK, do you do southwest heat or Asian heat?  Got to know that,
 NB> but  RH>> it's usually one or the other, depending on the restaurant.
 NB>  NB>> Yes.  (G)  Mostly Asian heat, since it's usually an Asian
 NB> restaurant  NB>> of some sort, though... ;)

 RH> OK, but we're comfortable with going for the southwest version of heat
 RH> or the Asian. Maybe a bit more biased toward the former over the
 RH> latter, but not much.

 NB> If in a mexican etc type restaurant, southwest heat is fine, too...
 NB> :)

As long as it doesn't overpower the flavors of the food, it's fine. Once
it gets so hot you can't taste your food, then it's too hot, no matter
if it's Asian or southwestern heat.

 NB>  RH>> No, too many things going on, including a surprise birthday
 NB> party for  RH>> our music minister. That was tonight; I made a well
 NB> received fruit  RH>> salad. But, it's supposed to get down to about 23
 NB> tonight so I may get  RH>> some work in on the quilt before going to
 NB> bed.
 NB>  NB>> Always something going on... ;)  Someday you'll get it finished.
 NB>  :)

 RH> I'd intended to finish it over the winter but moving put a twist on
 RH> that. Using the waste canvas, I see the holes best a night but by then
 RH> I've been too tired or my wrist hurt too much to stitch the last few
 RH> months. Maybe I'll crank up the air conditioning.................(G)

 NB> Always tradeoffs.... maybe you will need to crank up the a/c...  ;)

I might, on a night when I've not used the wrists too much during the
day. it's hard to know in the morning how much I'll use them, even when
I've a good idea of what I'm going to do.
