Hi Nancy,

 NB>  NB>> friend usually gets the Yi Shing chicken with steamed rice...
 NB> but  NB>> once in a while, she does the buffet instead, for a change..
 NB> :)

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

 NB> We were just there again today... ;)  We got our usuals... ;)  This
 NB> place has a very limited buffet, but all very good.  The menu has a
 NB> lot more available that what one can try on the buffet (only there at
 NB> lunch)... today there were green beans, sesame chicken, chicken and
 NB> shrimp with veggies, beef and broccoli, sweet and sour chicken, shrimp
 NB> in garlic sauce, some sort of lo mein, and szechuan chicken... along
 NB> with crab rangoon, egg rolls, chicken wings and doughnuts... and a
 NB> salad bar selection... oh, and steamed rice and fried rice...  :)


Decisions, decisions. I'd go for high protein, low carb. Trouble is,
with the sauces, I don't know ingredients--if sugar is used, thickening
agents, etc--all potential carb bombs.

 NB> They bring out your choice of wonton, hot&sour or eggdrop soup with
 NB> either the

Again, a tough choice to make. (G)


 NB> buffet or the lunch specials...  :)   It would let you try a selection
 NB> of the more popular items on the menu... :)

A bit of this, more of that and none of that, thank you. (G)


 NB>  RH>> We got back to WF yesterday, went over to the Italian place for
 NB>  RH>> supper. As usual, very good and as usual, I brought half of mine
 RH> >home.
 NB>  NB>> Something you could count on...  :)

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

 NB> I can see that.  ;)

Especially since he had chicken caccitori, even tho it wasn't on the
menu. That, and cannoli for dessert................need I say more?

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

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

 NB> I top out higher than you, then...  But I've always been able to taste
 NB> the food...

Did your dad like hot and spicy foods? Mine doesn't so we had very bland
food when I was growing up. His heat level would rate in the negative
range.


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

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

 NB> He got their attention, obviously...  (G)

Quite so.


 NB>  RH>> I might, on a night when I've not used the wrists too much
 NB> during  RH>> the day. it's hard to know in the morning how much I'll
 NB> use them,  RH>> even when I've a good idea of what I'm going to do.
 NB>  NB>> Which kinda makes it a shame that you see the waste canvas best
 NB> at  NB>> night... since otherwise you might be able to do some work on
 NB> it
 NB>  NB>> during the day before the wrists are shot...  ;)

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

 NB> Yup, I can relate...  ;)  Plodding through the Fido catch-up, while
 NB> coming home to a full schedule... ;)

And then it starts all over again. We're taking off for a few days next
week again.

Catch you later,
