Hi Nancy,

 NB> a menu.  NB>> It's another place where pretty much everything is
 NB> good... ;)  First  NB>> time anywhere I'd be the same, even going with
 NB> someone else... check  NB>> out what is available, either menu or
 NB> buffet...  :)

 RH> A place where most anything is good would make it hard to make a
 RH> decision. Depends on if the taste buds are set for chicken, beef,
 RH> seafood or otherwise, and then the veggies to go with the meat. Do I
 RH> want beef and broccoli or seafood and mixed veggies or chicken and
 RH> mushrooms?

 NB> That's why I often just get the buffet... little dabs of various
 NB> things, and I don't have to make so defined a decision... :)  My
 NB> friend usually gets the Yi Shing chicken with steamed rice... but once
 NB> in a while, she does the buffet instead, for a change.. :)

I might get it the first time I visited to have an idea of what to zero
in on in a follow up visit.


 NB>  NB>>> At Taste of Japan, I'm still seeing things I'd like to try at
 NB>  NB>>> least once... so I alternate them with my more standard
 NB> picks...  NB>>> ;)
 NB>  RH>> I see; I'd try to go with ones that weren't too heavy on the
 NB> rice  RH>> as it adds carbs fast. Lots of vegetables, some rice, and
 NB> protein  RH>> to balance the carbs.
 NB>  NB>> That can be fairly easy.... at last resort, you can ask for less
 NB>  NB>> rice to be served with the choice...  :)  But his offerings are
 NB>  NB>> usually quite well balanced...  :)

 RH> Sounds like, if he knows the reason for wanting less rice, he'd be
 RH> very willing to accomodate the request.

 NB> He can be very accomodating, especially for long-time regulars... even
 NB> on the things marked "chef's choice", he accepts input from the
 NB> customer... :)

Keeping both the customer and the proprietor happy in the long run.


 RH> We got back to WF yesterday, went over to the Italian place for
 RH> supper. As usual, very good and as usual, I brought half of mine
 RH> home.

 NB> Something you could count on...  :)

Yes, and Steve hadn't been over there in a while. It was his choice of
places to go to but I had no arguement. (G)

 NB> of  RH>> heat or the Asian. Maybe a bit more biased toward the former
 NB> over  RH>> the latter, but not much.
 NB>  NB>> If in a mexican etc type restaurant, southwest heat is fine,
 NB>  NB>> too... :)

 RH> As long as it doesn't overpower the flavors of the food, it's fine.
 RH> Once it gets so hot you can't taste your food, then it's too hot, no
 RH> matter if it's Asian or southwestern heat.

 NB> I don't think I've ever had anything that was so hot I couldn't taste
 NB> the food just fine, even some rather hotly spicy Indian foods...  or

I've had some that's been too hot for me to appreciate the taste of the
dish. I'll top out at a medium level.

 NB> Korean...  Never went for insanely hot chicken wings, though... I
 NB> suppose those might have done the trick... ;0

I've not gone for the super hot wings either. Some years ago, Steve's
oldest brother went to some wing place before going to work to put in an
order for pick up after work. He asked for the super, extra hot ones;
when he came back to pick up the order, the kitchen staff came out to
see who had ordered them so hot.

 NB>  RH>> I'd intended to finish it over the winter but moving put a twist
 NB> on  RH>> that. Using the waste canvas, I see the holes best a night
 NB> but by then  RH>> I've been too tired or my wrist hurt too much to
 NB> stitch the last few  RH>> months. Maybe I'll crank up the air
 NB> conditioning.................(G)  NB>> Always tradeoffs.... maybe you
 NB> will need to crank up the a/c...  ;)

 RH> I might, on a night when I've not used the wrists too much during the
 RH> day. it's hard to know in the morning how much I'll use them, even
 RH> when I've a good idea of what I'm going to do.

 NB> Which kinda makes it a shame that you see the waste canvas best at
 NB> night... since otherwise you might be able to do some work on it
 NB> during the day before the wrists are shot...  ;)

Once I get other things done...............Got caught up on the back
newspapers today, work around the house the last few days, catching up
on Fido, 2 trips to Raleigh for QofV related events, Sunday School &
church, the dessert auction, farmer's market, etc, etc during the day.

Catch you later,
