Yea, officially...I am writing that book. It truly is an important skill to have -- like riding a bike, knowing how to swim, drive a car, stuff like that. So we went to Benihana the other day....BENIHANA people! the best asian food hibachi place on the planet. 
I've been there so many times that the little tricks they do with the food do not amuse me anymore. I always give the guy this "alright, alright, now shutup and give me my food look" Is there a smiley to represent that? Let's see
:-< or :[ ----- um never mind. heheh
I did get a picture of our chef person, but I will not post it -- to protect his identity. Let's call him......."Bob".
Well what was interesting this time was that "Bob" was super nervous!! He really kept looking around the room at the other chefs and trying to do all the tricks they would do. Poor bob : (
Finally, I realized, I could not give him the look...instead I would have to pretend to enjoy the onion volcano. Piece of cake! but then, Bob tried to do the flip all the food scraps into his hat trick, and could not get one...single...piece... in his hat. Booooooo!! After that, I stopped clapping for him, and focused on my sushi.
Btw I don't like sushi, but I like Benihana sushi. So try it!! Finger lickin good (Beware! If one speckle of Wasabi gets on your tongue, you will die.)
Ummm where was I......Ohh ok. sushi.
Many time that I have been to Benihana, I have eaten the delicious sushi with my hands. who cares, right? If you look cute, you can eat sloppy. That's my rule. But that day, I felt like I should impress my friends and use the pretty little chopsticks they give to us.
So I pick them up, and start trying to eat the sushi with them. My friend turns to me and says, "Abby, you have to break them apart first"
I'm like, "no you definitely dont -- these are a special kind" (wow abby)
Ok so i lied, but I was trying to make a point here! After 5 minutes of not being able to pick up anything but death wasabi, I finally decided to ask for help.
It actually turned out to be a chopsticks for dummies party...It seems not alot of people know how to use them, not just me!
But, since I love helping people look cool, I will give you a crash course on how to use chopsticks, that will be published as "Chopsticks for Dummies" in the near future.
Well, acutally, I won't. But this website will! http://www.robsworld.org/chopsticks.html
Enjoyyyy. :)
Whenever I see a cake I remember happy celebrations, like birthdays, wedding, and other social gatherings. Some might affort to have parties with their own expenses or might avail loans to have one. Of all the things to get a personal loan for, one of them is NOT an ancient piece of wedding cake. Almost straight out of Seinfeld, someone bought a piece of wedding cake from the wedding of Princess Louise, daughter of Queen Victoria. They didn't pay too much for it – only about £150, or about $220, so they probably won't need mortgage loan modification due to putting their house on the block for a 200-year-old piece of cake. Well for me, having loans are privilege so use it wisely.
