dim sum? well, dim lights...

Ok they gotta keep the lights dim so you can't really see what you're eating. Colin introduced the 9 year-olds and me to dim sum tonight. The shrimp was good. The pork was um pork. The beef balls were apparently cow testicles. The gut gluggers were yummy but then I just got full. The shark fin (below) weirded me out (it might have been the pork inside), and watching Colin and Zack suck on chicken feet (way below) and spit out the bones made me realize that boys are just really, really gross. Even so, Colin...thanks. Is there anything you WON'T eat?

Well, OFCOURSE there are things i'll never eat.

Like a Big Mac. *shudder* So many ingredients that are never meant to be consumed... mechanically retrieved meat, 22 different preservatives, non-dairy processed cheese... You might as well go swill some nuclear waste, or suck on a dump-trucks tail pipe. And I've never even seen "super-size me".

Yeah... in comparison, I'd rather suck the meat off a chickens' foot any day of the week. I mean, Come on! Even H5N1 is organic!

I'm a fire dragon...
And, as a side note, I'm a lightweight and probably won't ever be that adventurous with my food. Your kids are amazing. Way to go Mom!! :) Thanks for trying with the sushi though.

Miss you, hope that you are on the upswing and feeling better.
