Mini-vacation #4

(After ABVD)

Part 7 (and LAST!)

After the swimming and water play, Jeff and Sarah treated all of us to a meal at the Japanese restaurant. Sammy checked out the Japanese carvings in the waiting area.

Our waiter, James, was a lad from Grafton and who had just graduated from high school.

Our chef started his performance with the juggling of his cooking utensils. The camera may have made him nervous - while juggling his spatula, it landed on a bowl of soup! It was a good thing that his cleaver did not get out of hand! Not a good start - but he improved.

Notice below that the egg is in mid-air. It was time to start the fried rice. Eggs do better, I guess, if they are juggled with the tip of the spatula.

After frying the eggs, twas time to add the rice.

John and Rachael enjoyed the preparation of our food. I am not certain what Miss Flora was thinking.



Now it was time to cook the good "stuff". The chicken, shrimp, and scallops were fixed after the completion of the rice and vegetables.



While Flora was shy and does not eat exotic fare such as vegetables and rice - here comes Lucy! Lucy enjoys all food, and even uses her chop sticks.

Sam became a little concerned when the chef started the "onion volcano".

If you have been to a Japanese restaurant, one of the aspects of the "show" is food throwing! The chef tosses pieces of shrimp and the plan is that it is supposed to enter one's mouth! NOT! The only thing that Judy and I succeed in getting is grease all over our clothes. Jeff catches the shrimp in an expert manner. Sammy is trying to help his Dad by opening his mouth. Sam really is like grandpa - we really do not like someone throwing food at us!



Sarah tries to catch the flying crustacean. She only succeeds in smashing her head into the wall! (Ouch!)


It was a great evening! Thanks to Sarah and Jeff once again for a super meal. Flora is now ready to head back to the house.

Sammy and Lucy also head to the car.



This was the end of our min-vacation #4 (After ABVD). We arrived back in Glenville last Friday afternoon. Tomorrow's blog - the circus come to town!
