Secret way to order at the Chinese take away...

[richard-in-cincy]

I stopped in at the Chinese take away last night on my way to orchestra rehearsal and didn’t know what to order but knew what I wanted. So I asked the owner to tell me what to get and that I wanted chicken with lots of vegetables, garlic, ginger, sesame, and chili. He said, OK, and pointed to one of the blandest things on the menu, chicken and vegetables, and told me he would add all of that to it.

When he brought me my bag he said, “Oh that smells so good! Now I want it! Ginger and garlic very good for you!”

And it was the best food I’ve ever picked up from there.

I hope you bought enough for the entire string section--on my last visit to...

the Chinese takeout, I called in my order and told the lady my name--Charlie.

When I picked up the order she asked loud enough for the entire dining room to hear---Are you Car Lee. I just nodded, and the room burst into laughter.

I ate it in the car, no way I was going to subject a bunch of musicians

to those smells before rehearsal! LOL

Nutcracker?

I believe Richard's car has the shift stick on the right not in the center of the driver's seat.

Unless he's riding that camel to rehearsal. Then you are probably correct, Ang.

 

[angak]

You so bad Michael. in a good way : ).

No, Ang, he's out of control.

And I'm still laughing at "Was Miss Thang Huang?"
