My GKB (good kiwi bloke) had a birthday last week. Youngest daughter visited him on the day with a little gift for him and a silly card.
A couple of days later eldest daughter arrived and gave him a copy of an 87 year old weekly newspaper commemorating the coronation of King George 6th. He laughed at that and hoped she didn't think he was quite that old :)
Some of you older kiwis might remember the old Weekly News. I remember it coming home with grandad when I was a child. I used to love looking at the centre photos.
Son and his wife were away last week so we caught up with them yesterday. Those of us who could went out for lunch together. Unfortunately the girls couldn't come as they were both in different parts of the country for the day.
"Would you like to eat western or Chinese?" he was asked. "Chinese would be nice," was the reply. So the kids picked us up and we headed in to town to the Golden Harvest restaurant.
The food was delicious, we had chicken, beef and pork dishes plus a vege one. Son and daughter in law had steamed chicken feet, we drew the line at that and just watched them enjoy it. Yuk!
I'd like to say I used the chopsticks to eat with but it is about 16 years since I've used them and was a little bit rusty so opted for a knife and fork instead, otherwise we might still have been there! It was a lovely meal out, we all enjoyed it and the company was great.
Have a good week,
Diana
Looks like a nice week. Chinese sounds good!
ReplyDeleteYes, you can keep the chicken feet! But the Chinese meal sounds nice :)
ReplyDeleteAnd happy birthday to GKB as well xx
A happy birthday to your kiwi bloke. That's a really nice photo of you two.
ReplyDeleteThey eat chicken feet here too. I can't stand even seeing the things. The rest of the meal sounds great....with a knife and fork 😁
Sounds like a great way to celebrate a birthday. We ate at an Asian restaurant our last night in Switzerland. We'd traveled to Zurich from Meiringen in order to catch our flight home the next day. The food was delicious but the service was very slow and our table was very hot. Don't know why they chose to sit us there when the inside of the restaurant was empty. I wish I'd spoken up about the table but they made a big deal about the fact we had no reservation.
ReplyDeleteGood to see happy faces. I've never tried chicken feet though but I do like Vietnamese and other asian food.
