Dinner

My Dad and I were so excited to find an air-conditioned eating facility. A chance to cool off while eating. He worked with the employees and ordered us something (there was a picture, but still).

They brought out this dish and proceeded to light the gas. Our food was cooking in boiling water right before our eyes. I was surprised. And there were all kinds of things in the water - shrimp, tofu, cabbage, pork, clams, mushrooms, noodles, etc. Everything looked okay until my Dad bumped his shrimp with his chopsticks.

Suddenly 2 little, black. beady eyes were staring at me. Eek! I flinched and made a face. Dad chuckled as a shiver passed through my body. I don't want my food to stare at me. I know they eat it like that, but I sure wasn't expecting my shrimp to suddenly stare at me.

So we allowed the food to cook and then I made my Dad take care of the shrimp. It was ALL there - head, eyes, legs, body. I said "make it look like the shrimp that I eat." He's a great guy and did just that. Then I ate and enjoyed it. But I still shivered once or twice thinking about the sudden appearance of beady shrimp eyes where dead food was supposed to be.

Didn't want all of you to miss out on the fun so here are some pictures. Thank goodness for cameras!

No, I did not eat it. Gross!
