New Happy Salad

On Sunday, my folks and I took my grandparents to their favorite Chinese restaurant (New Happy Restaurant) for lunch. It's a nice little place, populated mainly by elderly customers. The food is good and inexpensive. And the folks there know my grandparents well.

The first thing that makes me chuckle is the seating arrangement. There are paper placemats on every table--but they're under glass (a big money-saver, I suppose), so it really makes no difference where you sit.

Except to Grandma, who makes everybody maneuver around the table until everyone is sitting EXACTLY in front of a paper placemat. :)

Then, before we ordered, the waiter set down a tiny little plate and said This is a sample of our New Happy Salad. If you would like to order one for yourself, just let me know. This does not sound funny until you see the New Happy Salad, which looks neither new nor happy.

Sad. Not too New.

However, I have no true gripes about the meal, because I'm about to be RICH!!!

Try to contain your jealousy. Stay New and Happy, my friends!
