what was the name of the comedian who did a routine about overstaying his welcome in an Asian Resturant?“you been here two hours, you go home now, no food left”He was talking about the Penny’s!
I heard that dem-sum meant left over whatever from cooking. Leftover bones and veg. peelings etc. It came from the depression when nothing was tossed out. Well that’s what I heard I don’t know for sure. Maybe I’ll google it.Anyway the Pennys will eat anything.They save a dollar but eat about 10.$ worth and also take home in her purse ALL it can carry!!
OK google says..Originally a Cantonese custom, dim sum is inextricably linked to the Chinese tradition of “yum cha” or drinking tea. Teahouses sprung up to accommodate weary travelers journeying along the famous Silk Road. So I guess one can’t believe everything can we??
I was just Googling vegetarian restaurants near Sun City (as we did not do well last week at finding a full meal). I think I will continue cooking in until February. The nearest place that sounds good is the Loving Hut (longer drive than I’d like)

Now if the Pennys could just find a “day old” Oriental buffet they would be in heaven.

I prefer quality over quantity at a fair price.

Usually tastes quite good…… but with too much MSG…… you can tell because one gets very thirsty later on……. : (

At least they got Patty someplace where she’ll actually stay a while and eat with ’em. Hope springs eternal!!
