Buffets. Good but bad for you.

So, maybe I should write more often. But it seems silly to write when I have nothing interesting or amusing to say. So I waited until I did have something to say. Plus I was extremely busy for about 2 and a half weeks. Then exhausted from that little project. But here I am again. So there.
I had a date last night. I went to an Asian buffet for dinner. And then to a movie.
 For starters the buffet was really good. I can honestly say my only complaint would have been with the choice at the dessert bar. Which was not really a big deal because I was so full already there was not much  room for dessert.
They had everything from rice noodles, fried rice, salad bar,  sushi,  Mongolian Grill, stuffed mushrooms, crab legs.It was what a buffet should be. 
And my date, a good friend, told the waiter. We were there for the crab legs. Yes, we ate. A lot.  I was almost surprised they didn't ask us to stop or to leave. He and I sat there for 2 hours eating a little bit of this, and a little bit of that, but mostly it was the crab legs. It was well worth it.
I must say the funny part of the evening besides eating that many crab legs was at the sushi bar. A woman wanted to clarify whether she was eating raw fish or vegetables. So she yelled at the sushi chef. As if yelling and articulating each word would make a foreign person understand what you were saying. I found it rather amusing. I hope that she got whatever she was looking for. But if you don't know sushi, don't eat sushi.
My friend decided to get some chocolate covered marshmallows and some chocolate-covered Rice Krispie treats. I ate something I had always called an ambrosia salad for dessert.If I wanted to classify it as dessert.  It has Mandarin oranges and pineapple chunks and marshmallows and some creamy goodness all mixed together.
But when I saw that chocolate covered marshmallow on my friends plate, I just reached over, grabbed it, and stuck it in my mouth. It was well worth it just by the look on his face. But it was chocolate. I couldn't seem to stop myself. And then I was laughing so hard. I couldn't even swallow it.
But I think it's fun to have fun on a date. It doesn't have to always be serious. He and I are good friends so it made for a really good dinner.
And then we went on to the movie we went and saw The Jungle Book. For a movie that once was  a cartoon and now a live action movie. It was really really good.
Maybe it was because of who they chose to voice the animals. Or maybe it was the computer graphics. I couldn't really say. Probably a little bit of everything.
But I would definitely a hundred percent recommend this movie. It's for adults and kids alike. Not that there was any adult humor in it. But if you remember seeing the movie as a kid. You will really really enjoy it as an adult.
And of course my friend got popcorn. And because of the person I am. I dipped into his bucket many many times. But that's what going to see a movie is all about. The movie, the popcorn, and the candies. Which in my case was Junior Mints. Also good company and both people enjoying the experience. Although I did decide later I might have liked the Milk Duds instead.
But all in all it was a really great day.
So, I recommend buffet with crab legs. A good movie with popcorn. And a good friend by your side. Until next time.
 Eat well
