  • bitterlawngnome and I had decided to explore one of the apparently many Chinatowns in Toronto, resulting in us going to a little mom-and-pop restaurant. The black pepper beef wasn't bad -- though fairly light on the pepper! -- and Bill was none too fond of the "dish water" tea.

    You know, it amazes me when I am, it really does. I can't even state that in words how amazed I was that I was very sexualized by someone and it was ... very invigorating.

    I wasn't there, but if you only knew some of the things I was thinking when viewing 2 specific pix. Whoo-boy... :D And I still stand behind every word I said in the email about your "accessory". *wipes drool from chin*

    Which reminds me... wasn't there supposed to be more pix posted? And if you don't want to post them, my email is fuzzed@sbcglobal.net. *crosses fingers* ;)

    Why would this be surprising? I've never had it, and any time I've had any life experience with it, it's been simply "gruel".

    Now the Chinese character (粥), I recognized, as it's the basis for a character (鬻) used to mean the likes of "sell your children" or other regrettable things for pay during times like famine (as in: 鬻子, someone who's in the business of trading children). :: laugh ::

    What, the congee character or the latter monstrosity on which it's based?

    Heheheh, I'm very hard on myself, admittedly, so when I do things that clearly could have been avoided with just a tinge of thought? Yeah. I suppose you could say I worry too much.

    I was weirded out by the craptacularity of zhōu the first time I had it, but then I learned how it can be both good and really fucking good. You need yourself some 海鮮粥 it is wonderful. I miss all the 粥 shops I used to haunt in Taibei.

    Give it another try.

    Let's make a deal: Next time we're both in Taibei together I'll show you where to get the best 粥. 好不好?
