New (for us) Holiday traditions
Sheri and I started a new (for us) tradition today. We went to Volcano Asian Cuisine our favorite Asian restaurant for dinner. I had known about the “Jewish” tradition of Chinese dining (and a movie or two) for years, but it was new to Sheri.
We had a lovely “traditional” gathering at my aunt’s house for brunch earlier in the day. We then came home, milled around a bit, and decided a dinner of sushi, cumin lamb, and crispy duck was in order.
So that’s what we had, and it was delicious. The restaurant was very crowded, too, which I’m happy to see since it’s a family business and the family who runs it is great people. And yes, when I ordered duck I was kind of hoping it woudl have a head attached because of the scene above, but it didn’t. That was my only disappointment today and it was a minor one at that.
There are many a friend here in Rochester enjoying Chinese tonight. Why not?!
Hey, Jew – glad that you had a nice time hanging out with the other teams. Because we didn’t travel to NYC to visit the ALL CATHOLIC teams this year (work scheduling issues) we ended up having an Interfaith/Half-breed Christmas dinner: 3 couples each 1 Jew + 1 Catholic and their half-breed kids (all have or will have Bar/Bat Mitzvahs but prefer a tree to a menorah and Easter eggs over Matzah – go figure) Just so you know, my 100% Jew parents did go for Chinese food last night and they reported the restaurant WAS PACKED! So, the traditional Christmas is becoming less so every year. On to Kwanzaa!
