I'll take two pounds of catfish and one can of bamboo

I went to the chinese grocery store yesterday with Shi Lie. These are some things we saw there:

The entrance looked a little scetchy. I especially didn't like the way they just pile their garbage up behind that fence. It smelled awful.

If you want catfish you just point to the one you want and they pull it out of the tank. Also they had raw meet (chicken and pork) packed on ice open for customers to serve themselves. You just take a bag and fill it with whatever meat you want, since it's not in packages yet.

I saw this label on a bag of rice. I liked it so much I had to take a picture.

Hungry? Why not reach for a can of delicious Bamboo Shoots?

I honestly don't think I saw one spare rib, chicken ball, or egg roll in the whole place. They did have pre cooked ducks available though. Overall it was an interesting experience to go there but I don't think I'll be shopping there.

Home Sweet Institution

Hi Guys! Tonight I got home from the gym at about 9 and was doing my laundry when it occured to me I should have a site to communicate with you since it was already 10 where you were and I wouldn't want to call and wake you up.

Here's a few snapshots of the ole' homestead. Nothing fancy but it gets the job done.

I was pretty worried about the matress the first night. It's got a sort of plastic feel to the cover like a crib matress and it smells like old tuna fish, and not because I've been eating tuna in it. But somehow it doesn't seem to bother me.

Well it's 11:40 now so I think I'm going to bed. If you click on the word comments below you should be able to leave me a message.
