Chopstick etiquette

Where do you put your chopsticks when you are finished? asked Chris.
Margaret demonstrates, Chris is awed by exquisite presentation of parallel chopsticks on the side of teh plate. The waiter comes by and takes Margaret's plate away as per invisible signal.

Today was the first day Jared was eating with chopsticks and we realized that it's the only way to slow him down during lunch. He kept complaining about sore fingers and food hitting his stomach one molecule at a time. As a result he had pork flavoured tea, and tea flavoured pork.

We didn't discuss much except food and food related. Something about that place never lets us go beyond food conversations.

Chantal had her dish arrive last as usual. Must be something to do with her last name starting with Z and crispy pork noodles she keeps ordering.

we also discussed how in my culture bigger women are considered to be wealthy and prosperous. So the whole way back we were looking out for rich and poor women. Jared kindly agreed to feed them hungry ones.

booooring!
