I love when there are days dedicated to celebrating……anything. Today is no different, I plan to spend as much time as possible embracing my heritage with That’s Not Chinese, Dr. BJ, MJ and a surprise visit from Carmas With A ‘K.’
To celebrate properly, I made my signature margaritas – my people love these things. I had to provide the disclaimer that the first sip might catch you off guard, but hang in there, the sips to follow will take you places.
As usual, That’s Not Chinese, was patrolling all things ethnic and informed me I am not Latina. Like the ladies from the coffee shop, she believes I’m Greek. Based on the food I had for lunch, I’m Vietnamese. I embrace all things cultural.
The 5th of May menu was tops: guacamole, chips, pizza, circus peanuts and key lime pie. Everyone complained about the circus peanuts, but that didn’t stop them from partaking, at least once.
Prior to making his surprise visit, Carmas With A ‘K’ was considering a Cinco de Mustache ride – he was also considering coming out on facebook. Both good ideas. I’m especially keen on the latter, nothing like using facebook for therapy; nothing, except using Skype for couples counseling.
Carmas With A ‘K’ was full of a lot of good information for us today. He was telling us about online dating sites and Dr. BJ requested to see his profile. Carmas With A ‘K’ was quick to ignore a connection and Dr. BJ thought he might be making a mistake, because the person could be nice. Carmas With A ‘K’s response, “You know how many lunches I could have gone to with the amount of people I’ve ignored on here?” Apparently a lot. I hope, for That’s Not Chinese’s sake, Carmas With A ‘K’ had at least one lunch at a nice Chinese restaurant that serves sushi and chile verde.
