Day 1 Adventure with Dad

(bear with the weird formatting)
Happy Valentines Day!

My parents have left me for a ball at the Australian Embassy tonight and supposedly Jackie Chan is going to be there as well. My dad let me use his nice new camera to take pictures hahaha. I passed on that invite.

My mom got my dad some lovely horses made out of jade and my dad said "I thought we were over Valentine's gifts" so my mom went to get her nails done discretely(NOT) leaving her discount jewelery store card on the counter for my dad to take with us.

We first went to lunch at this place:



As you can see it is not cold here as I was hoping for, that vest and scarf was almost too much!








So we had some spinach with a peanut sauce that to me had a horseradishy taste to it:



















Then some Kung Pao chicken with peanuts which had a great flavor but was quite spicy, my coke did not help cut the heat. There were boxes of tissues on the table to use for our runny noses.



















Then for our "main dish" we had poached catfish in hot oil (I believe) which was another kind of hot. Different hot as in numbing hot, as in my dad made me chew on this little pod and my whole mouth went numb, it was such a weird sensation. That little thing on he side of the pot:








































We then proceeded to the jewelry store to get my mom some earrings. My dad bought me a rose from the street vendors and we stopped in the bakery to get some dessert and movies.

Not surprising that I am starving so am just waiting on my pizza and already ate my left over gnocchi and some cheetos...I have MILK, THE SECRET LIFE OF BEE'S, and DOUBT to keep me company.

OH this is a view out of the window.
