You want to combine avocado and kumquat at Dragon Ball after Shanghai Wonderful?! EW!
In the Bookworm game I've been playing for the last few days (Level 56 so far!), I find it amusing that the first two words in the four-letter bonus word category are homonyms. AILS and ALES, indeed... :D
Randal parked at the wrong end of the apartment complex, but we managed to find each other all right. Seems he got confused by the Pepsi vending machine, haha. We got to Shanghai Wonderful, where Randal waved to Eric - Diven didn't seem to recognize the red Hyundai Accent, but he was probably preoccupied with finding a parking spot in the tiny space. (the two of us ended up in a pay parking lot [halfsies] - some others parked at the mall instead!) I was pleasantly surprised to see Adela, Ivan, and Stanley join us... but Nathan said that Dawn and Jen sold out on the group! Danielle's in another province, and Jeremy was at band practice... apparently, Joey also changed his mind about coming!
We all laughed when Erin phoned Steph to tell her how disappointed everyone was because she wasn't there - you'd have pictures for sure if that happened! Various "Richmond is the best!" jokes were thrown around, mainly for Eddie's benefit.... Eunice will tell him what we want him to hear, haha. Eddie said that he liked SLB - just not the juice inside! I had to correct him and say that it was SOUP! I think we ordered at least 11 SLB steamers (the quality's just as good - if not better), while Christon asked Stanley what various things on the menu were. We also had surfboard noodles, a BIG plate of mu shu pork (Christon: "That and half the noodles for the wrap were totally unnecessary!"), some Chinese wrap things, crispy fried rice, two vegetable plates (Nathan: "Hey, we have to POO later!"), duck, mushrooms, and other things. We also tried ordering fried green onion pancake, but they didn't have any - apparently, that's only for dim sum. LAME!
One of the main topics of discussion was the 35-steamer night from February... Tony was a BEAST! Yes, we had a tally sheet that time! After that, at least a few of us felt like we were on drugs because of the mass amounts of MSG / pork that we ingested with our dinner. Stanley said that might rival the time he had two Bon's breakfasts at once - SO GREASY, IS MY STOMACH GONNA EXPLODE?! He also said that Joyce would be a natural for these outings since she can outeat all the guys at dim sum! I've heard tales of her eating prowess before from Steph, so I can believe it! He told me that Jeremy was the first white guy he'd known who was more Chinese than white: "he's an EGG!" Hahaha, so true! We also discussed smashing Jeremy's old non-working guitar for a church fundraiser - maybe we can even get someone to volunteer to have it hit against their head, haha.
Then the discussion turned to DISGUSTING bubble tea combos at Dragon Ball, and incorporating durian into various things to make them taste "better." Adela didn't think much about that, and neither did I! Jon kept saying that we'd convert, but I don't think so! While discussing these hilarious concepts, we were easily the loudest table in the place! Stanley had tried guilinggao-peppermint last night, Christon still maintains that the Oreo cookie-guilinggao-green lotus combo he got for Jon recently was the most disgusting EVER, and Eric said we could get Ovaltine and Oreo cookie! Eunice said maybe Ovaltine and Horlicks could work, and apparently Jon had a four-flavor combo last night involving avocado and kumquat. He told Erin that the Dragon Ball lady would look at her funny if she ordered something weird, but Erin could just point to him and things would be good since they KNOW Jon orders interesting stuff! Jon even said that we could go for Dragon Ball afterwards, but we managed to dissuade him after one look at the huge mu shu pork plate! Stanley said that he could take home some leftovers since his dad needs lunch tomorrow, but I ended up with all of them. It's like when Jon was in Toronto and ended up with a lot of stuff because he was a student!
I managed to catch up with Adela for a bit after she mentioned a client who wanted to insure his violin and bow which was worth half a million dollars! She's also in a long-distance relationship (one year and three months!) with a guy named Frederick in Hong Kong; they met through a high school friend. Hers is worse than mine in terms of distance! Erin later tried to determine the mock Bible verse we'd made up that one time at Shanghai Wind, but none of us who were there could remember! Then Jon joked that Nathan could have all-you-can-eat SLB at his wedding reception / banquet along with all-you-can-drink vodka... that set off another hilarious tangent about weird music that's only good for the first five seconds, plus using a straw to drink out of a huge SLB. When Eddie took a dough wrap, he discovered that it had a hole in the middle! Very weird, so we joked about quality control and finding weird stuff inside China products like cardboard and lead! We also had a multi-spout pitcher of water, which Eddie found hilarious!
Erin asked Randal whether he was the president of the David Fellowship, which earned her a blank look and LOTS OF LAUGHTER from at least half the table! Stanley said that she just got OWNED, and Jon made jokes about how Dylan bought air time for commercials on PRAISE 106.5 when Chuck Swindoll had his program - no Florida recounts here! Talked about Fellowship programs - if my potato salad buying was for naught, I'll not be impressed! Later, Erin told us that her dad had been unpleasantly surprised when twenty people came over yesterday: "Brenda, this food isn't something you'd serve them... just get pizza!" "Eric, we can add cream of mushroom soup and stuff to the rice and things first!" Stanley, on this rather interesting way of serving food: "Erin, remind me never to go to your house for dinner!" Hahaha, we had a good amusing time out!
