Chinese
food and Birthdays
 |
| Doesn't it look delicious? |
In our
small family when we celebrate birthdays we usually do it with a
meeting at a restaurant. It is the easiest way to get together.
Yesterday
it was Mike's birthday and also Ben's today so we all agreed to meet
at Bobo's Chinese restaurant, one of our favorite places to meet. We
have been going to this restaurant since the 80s and the food is
always great. We never have to wait for a table, and the owner and
staff are old friends now. So it's always a great place to celebrate
birthdays.
The
food is always delicious and between us we mange to get a good
selection of different dishes to share. Add the drinks, beer, wine
and soft drinks followed by the fun of the Chinese fortune cookie and
you have an great time with lots of laughter, catching up on family
happenings and lots of good feeling. Presents and cards are exchanged
with cards being passed around for all to see. Another fun thing we
do is when the camera is set going on the turn-table in the middle of
the table and a video is taken of all the guests with lovely faces
being made for the camera. We all hope these do not appear on
Facebook.
So you
ask “But where is the Birthday cake?” So the family's excellent
cake maker always bakes a cake and we get to enjoy it at home with a
great cup of coffee.
Now
who could want a better birthday celebration than this!!
