Fried Rice Birthday Cakes

| | Comments (0)

The TITANS v. RAIDERS game last night was great. Titans had 14 points within about 3 minutes of the first quarter. The game ended Titans 24 -- Raiders 14. It's always better to go to a game when your team actually wins. The first few times Steve and I went to see the Washington Capitals play hockey in D.C. - they LOST. It was soooo disappointing. Then the 4th time we went, they stomped Carolina 7-0. That was a GREAT game. Babble Babble.

There wasn't a new Friday Five this week, so I pulled one from the archives to do.

:fridayfive: Friday Five time ...

1. What is your favorite restaurant and why?
Kan Pai of Tokyo -- (a Japanese Steakhouse). You go in and eight of you can sit around this huge table with the cook top in the middle. The cook comes in with his huge white hat and he cooks the food in front of you. He throws around knives and eggs and lights little onion fires. I usually have Hibachi Chicken with Fried Rice (and sometimes shrimp) .... and it's yummmmmy! On my birthday one year, our cook shaped the fried rice into a birthday cake and brought candles out and everybody sang. The food is excellent and it's a very FUN dining experience.

2. What fast food restaurant are you partial to?
Subway. 6" mozzarella cheddar bread with ham/turkey/lettuce/green peppers/cucumber. Yumm!

3. What are your standards and rules for tipping?
I don't agree with tipping at all (In Europe -- tipping is not expected. Servers are actually expected to do their jobs anyway. Amazing concept. LOL.) -- but we do tip. Usually we double or triple the tax amount depending on the service we received. If it's REALLY REALLY bad service, we'll usually leave a penny with a note written on the back of the check (because the manager will most likely see the checks .... and we want the server to know we aren't just being cheap... LOL)

4. Do you usually order an appetizer and/or dessert?
Nope. Most places we go to usually have bread, chips or something to nibble on while you're waiting for your food. I never order dessert because usually I'm too full to want anything else.

5. What do you usually order to drink at a restaurant?
I almost always order diet coke. If we're out and I know I don't have to drive, and my husband isn't up for a beer, I might order a few blue margaritas. I'm not a big alcohol drinker.
