CHINESE FOOD FOR OUR BIRTHDAYS.

I did not have the birthday celebration that was planned,  so on Barb's birthday January 22, we ordered Chinese Food from our favourite restaurant- Choice of the Orient- in Richmond Hill. The cook gets a break and Barb could enjoy some dishes like the Peppered Seafood Combination and Cantonese Chow Mein. Of course there are leftovers for another day. Chocolate cupcakes from Sobeys sufficed for a birthday cake! As long as there is some celebrating, life is good. Barb prefers to eat out at a restaurant but both of us are just tired from the last two weeks so home was nice and comfortable.

DINNER OUT TO START THE LONG WEEKEND

Barb complained that we had not gone out to eat for ages. So Friday night, we went to our favourite Chinese Food restaurant in Richmond Hill. The Choice of the Orient has been in town for the same length of time we have- 27 years. We have celebrated birthdays, anniversaries and just Friday nights out there The usual- 2 spring rolls, chicken wings, Cantonese Chow Mein, Peppered Seafood Combination and Lemon Chicken. Barb had a Blue Hawaiian Cocktail instead of the usual glass of white wine. Sometimes we order more but it was enough and even took home some leftovers for Saturday lunch. We are known there as the owners always greet us. They wondered where we had been but actually for our May anniversary we had ordered takeout from them. Nice start to the long weekend and this granpa did not have to cook.
