Supper! I l♥ve Chinese food. Well, at least what we Americans think is Chinese food. Love it, love it, love it!

I have been craving egg rolls from one of our two Chinese restaurants in town for the past several weeks. Even though I’ve eaten at Chinese restaurants something like three times in the past two weeks (besides tonight) they were all out of town. So I made the husband run out and we got a whole dinner, not just egg rolls. :)

I adore the egg rolls from this place in town called China King, they are awesome: not tiny, not dry, and always fresh. They have really good crab ragoon, too. It’s kind of sweet, but not too sweet. They also always overfill the containers. :) Of course, the place that I love to go to that’s an hour south makes the best mushroom & chicken, which is my favorite. And this new place we tried last week that’s a half an hour south of here – they had the best stuff they called Japanese chicken (how ironic is that). Oh and some wonderful “rat on a stick,” too!

So yes, the egg rolls tonight were so good I decided I had to blog it. I’m glad I bought six of them, I have two more waiting for me in the fridge after the husband and I both had two with supper. :)

As equally good at Chinese restaurants is getting fortunes in your cookies. What could be better? Cookies… and a fortune. :) Over time I’ve gotten some pretty good ones, too.

Here are some of the ones we’ve gotten recently:

Mine:
Someone can read your mind.
Service is the rent we pay for the privilege of living on this planet.

His:
Smile when you are ready.
You will always be successful in your professional career.

The Kid’s:
You could prosper in the field of medical research.
Wise men learn more from fools than fools from the wise.

Then there’s the one my brother got that he always loves to laugh about: “Don’t trouble trouble until trouble troubles you.”

However, my absolute favorite fortune ever was given to me by friends.

I was working (when I worked at Hardee’s) and about five of the guys were in there bugging the heck out of me. I had a cool boss at that time so he didn’t really care (he loved me heehee) but after a while the guys said they were going to go get some “real food” – some Chinese food.

About a half an hour or so later, they brought me back my fortune:

Do not let friends bother you, work calmly and quietly.

Okay, so maybe you had to be there. :P

Now, please, feel free to burst my bubble and tell me how what we eat at Chinese restaurants here is nothing like the real thing. ;-)
