Yesterday at lunch I had another opportunity to pass on a Fear Factor eating experience. Matt and I were invited to join the office in a round table lunch in honor of Joyce's last day at work (she's getting married soon and will join her husband's business after the wedding), a welcome to new employee Carina, who's filling Joyce's position, and a celebration for Euan's 30th birthday, which according to the lunar calendar takes place on Sept 27th this year (the mystery of the lunar calendar will have to be revealed in another post, another day. I still don't quite get it).
The lunch consisted of standard fixens' like "sour" cucumbers, eggplant, mystery livers, spicy beef, sauteed mushrooms, green beans, a thin broth soup, and white rice. We washed it all down with hot daisy tee to drink.
The meal contained a bonus, though! At the bottom of the soup serving bowl hid 9 very large bones, I think from a cow. After we'd consumed the majority of the food on the table - about the time you would order a dessert at a typical American restaurant - the serving staff scooped one large bone into a bowl for each person at the table. They then brought us each a plastic glove and small straw sealed in plastic.


Sounds like there is a reason we consider that a treat for our dogs, not ourselves.
ReplyDeleteHey. I talked to momma today and she said to tell y'all hey. She is not able to check your blogs and it hasn't been long ago that I found out y'all had one. Anyways, hope all is well. Tell Matt we said hey.
