Jon showed up a little late, but I'm used to that. Grandma insisted on treating us instead because she thinks Jon and Harmony have no money, and Jon drove us around. As I told Jon, her barometer of usefulness is based around whether you have a car or not. We went to Master Hong's BBQ House, where we joked with Grandma about eating durians and rice for lunch. I told Jon that I had just realized something: she won't eat rice for lunch for some reason, but she will eat congee, which of course is made out of rice. So we asked her why that was, and she said that congee is better - okay, then! It was a good lunch - chow mein, gai lan, BBQ pork and BBQ duck on rice, and fried noodles with huge mushroom slices / chicken / veggies. Grandma kept asking Jon when Harmony wouldn't be working so she can take the two of them out for a meal. This week is pretty busy for him, what with teaching / SERVANTS / Edwin's wedding / Fellowship / other things. Discussed Auntie Teresa cleaning the fridge, too.

I informed Jon that Grandma had hijacked Eric to go grocery shopping again after lunch yesterday, and he wondered whether Wesley had enjoyed eating at our table - oh sure! We'd discussed JACK BAUER, hockey pools, limited Big G stories, and more. Jon allowed Grandma to go grocery shopping since he apparently had to get rolled oats and some fruits too, which she paid for. (she bought MORE mangoes, even though we have three from yesterday - and some lobster chips and other things) Then he told her that we had to go home - he was going to make almond butter, but since he ran out of time, he stole the food processor. I helped water the plants - he doesn't want Mom's plants to die in the scorching heat. That, I can respect. I horrified Grandma by eating six almonds at a time, hahaha!
