My favorite Chinese restaurant

Mr C and I have a favorite Chinese restaurant. It's a great place for lunch, especially if lunch is your biggest meal of the day.

The staff is always friendly and smiling. They know our names. They bring over our favorite drinks before we can order them. We trade chitchat. They comp us dessert once in a while. And some of the food is excellent.

Notice I said some? I like to try new things, and sometimes I don't like them much. The ginger chicken, for instance, was too bland. But at this point, I feel as I would at a friend's house, so I have to clean my plate even if I don't like it, so they won't get their feelings hurt.

Good grief, what a wimp!
