In the to-go line they asked the woman if she wanted disposable silverware or chopsticks with her order. "Chopsticks", she said. Really? I know it's fun and all, to try and pretend like us Americans know how to properly use them. I like to use them. But if you're at home-alone-why use the chopsticks?
These 4 people-the whole double date. One couple looks like they have been together longer-the other maybe a set-up, fairly new to each other but not so new he that he felt comfortable enough to put his hand on her back to lead her forward in the line. She offered to pay but the card was declined-so he paid with his card. You could see the awkwardness on her face; feel the embarassment burning her up on the inside. Think back to those first few weeks together-that would totally suck.
These are my kids....
They look like two footballs with heads. :)

- Well, I was married in December in Las Vegas-and I love Las Vegas now. I love water and would love to live by the beach some day. I have two italian greyhounds and I want to adopt a retired racing greyhound. If I don't have kids I plan to open a rescue shelter for animals. I'm very friendly, patient and polite....most of the time. I'm currently in graduate school pursuing my degree in Adult Education and Training. Frasier is one of my favorite tv shows and Summer Sisters is my favorite book of all time.

I am not a chopsticks pro at all and won't even attempt it at home or in public. I can not imagine the awkwardness of having a card denied when you are surrounded by strangers much less a "date". I think that some of the most precarious times are those first dates when you are trying to do everything right and nothong goes as you have planned.
Well, I'm from Korea, and I hardly use chopsticks, either. My friends and people who ever got to eat with me used to laugh at me, because I hold chopsticks in a funny way or wrong way, and I drop foods all the time. I prefer forks and knives instead of small bits of foods. It's easy to cook a big chunk of meat and just serve the whole thing on a plate than cutting and dicing and putting each food in small seperate bowls. It takes a long time to cook like that. I love simpler versions of recipes.
