Happy Mid Autumn

Happy belated Mid-Autumn Festival! My gramma received a gigantic box of moon cakes and this Taiwanese mung-bean shallot and meat dumpling thing called Lu-Dou Pung. They're yummy.
Gramma and I went to a Japanese/Korean place for lunch. By Flushing standards, it's a relatively expensive place (What?! $9 for 6 kimchi appetizers, a gigantic bowl of food and a bowl of soup?! Preposterous!). I had bibimbap and Gramma had a seafood tofu thing with red bean rice. We had some nice conversation about random things. She can be a pretty cool gramma sometimes. The lady next to us ate an entire mackeral, soup, rice and appetizers. I figure the enormous appetite was because she was very pregnant and was eating for two.
Later, I met up with Julia, a nice lady I met at one of the alum meetings. She was getting her hair done in Flushing so we went to a Shanghai-nese restaurant that my parents love to go to. Fortunately, Julia enjoyed it a lot as well. There was lots of chatting, mostly about work and boys (I suppose man problems plague women of all ages) and then, since she could speak Chinese, I dragged her home so I could give her a couple moon cakes. We stood around and chatted with Gramma who she later deemed as a cool gramma. Gramma is most pleased.
