birthday "lunch"

On Tuesday it was Rob's birthday, and I left work a little early for mental health reasons and decided to join Rob and J'ness for a lovely birthday lunch. We decided to go to the International Buffet because it sounded interesting and I had been there before back in July. We show up and there is a pretty fountain in the foyer, but I'm distracted from the tranquil beauty because it's so HUMID. It's like a flippin steam room (oh that sounds nice) or like in addition to international food they also have hot tubs full of soup. Not really amazing because the humidity was so uncomfortable, and it smelled funny...my hair started to curl!

There was no one there, but there was a nice spread of different Asian foods laid out and ready to be consumed. I noticed some sushi and it looked pretty decent, but there was this sign above it that read...

Well I'll just post the picture.

Whaaaaaat?! I totally took some! It was so pretty but really didn't taste that good. I was careful and only ate a couple of pieces, I was so worried!


Rob's plate had some interesting stuff on it, one of which was a delicious roll. It was golden brown on top and glistened with butter. However when he bit into it....completely hollow! It had been sitting there for so long that the heat had sucked all the moisture out of the middle. We compared it to the turkey in National Lampoons Christmas Vacation...

I couldn't get the exact version but if you must see, go here for an example of just how dry the roll was.

After that I would get samples of food just to out do the bone dry roll, the egg drop soup with the consistency of gravy almost won...almost.

Needless to say it was a fairly interesting lunch and pretty darn funny to boot.

The ice cream was delicious.
