I headed back to the basement for some numbing and spicy beef in oil. I was a source of great excitement and or amusement for the staff. The usual charade of presenting me with beer, followed by a fork etc. ensued. But everyone seemed to be waiting for me to eat it.
The tension heightened as I pulled out my camera first and fiddled with it. Chefs turned to each other and commented, what is this crazy guy doing etc.
Eventually when I ate, there were sighs of relief (I think). The beef / horse / dog was actually of high quality. The only vegetables were of the choy variety, I would prefer less beef and more variety of vegetables such as eggplant, potato, capsicum, celery etc.
I use etc. too much. I also use pretty as in pretty good, and seems as in seems to, too much. Now I use too much too much.
