I just read my sister, Karyl's diary entry.

She cracks me up! Who else (other than The Great Marn) can make you laugh out loud about something as simple as lo mein???

As much as I enjoyed reading about her dilemma regarding the naked noodles that are referred to as chow mein, I find myself as quite inadequate as a "writer". I mean, come on people, she made me laugh out loud about LO MEIN. There's usually nothing funny about Chinese food unless you count the fortune cookie at the end of the meal.

Which by the way as it turns out, is not even Chinese!!! Can you imagine my horror when I learned that fortune cookies were born of a greedy American who wanted more business in his Chinese food restaurant? Yeah. Tell me about it.

I do sympathize with Karyl. Lo mein is my absolute favorite Chinese dish. Lo mein and egg drop soup: the quintessential PEFECT Chinese meal. Oh, ok. Add in some vegetable spring rolls lightly fried, lighly greasy and dipped in duck sauce.

And as I digress I must ask this question: Why is it called "duck sauce"? There is not an ouce of duck in the entire packet. In fact sadly enough it's made of high fructose corn syrup and I think a food coloring additive too. But it's so damned yummy!!

My next question is directed strictly towards my sister: What ever happened to the Queen Of Pepsi?? Were you sucked into the Dark Side of Soda?? (this coming from a recently reformed Coke drinker)

I don't drink soda but once in a great while and only at a restaurant (because fountain soda is sooooooo much better than canned!). My soda of choice now?? Yep. You guessed it....

heh heh...
