So today was the lunar new year. Gung hay fat choy! We wanted to order in Chinese food to celebrate but for whatever reason getting delivery would have taken forever, so we went out for sushi.
Norton isn't the most adventurous eater so he had miso soup and chicken teriyaki. Me being a food philistine I have no idea what's what so Margaret ordered for me - and it was delicious, except for the novelty roll of spam sushi she ordered for fun. I shit you not - SPAM (that most delicious of nearly wicked pressed ham like food product!). When the server came by to ask how things were Norton asked quite seriously if we could have the sushi without the spam.
She must get this a bit because she immediately replied, "That roll has avocado, crab, spicy tuna, rice, cucumber and just a thin slice of spam wrapped in seaweed." Then from behind the glass there the chefs were working, one looked up and said, "I can make him a roll with avocado, crab, spicy tuna, rice, cucumber and put the spam on the side."
The server waited a moment before turning her back and moving on to the next table. Norton ate in silence for the rest of the dinner. On the way home Norton perked up, and proclaimed that in honour of the year of the horse, we would watch a classic movie with Yun-Fat Chow. He's no Bruce Campbell, but he's done some cool stuff, and some of those John Woo films kicked ass.
Turns out Norton isn't really up on what actually constitutes "classic" as Margaret and I were subjected to Dragonball Evolution. It was an hour and a half we won't get back.
