China Date Night

The other night we went on our third date from my anniversary gift to Sevio which takes us around the world over the course of a year, and no I don't mean that in a literal sense and completely and utterly make believe travel. You can catch up on what its all about HERE.

So this month our destination was China, and I have to be honest with the transition of moving I nearly forgot about it so sadly this month lacked in creativity and "wow" factor, sorry Sevio! I found a nearby Chinese restaurant that was brilliantly cheap (everything on the menu was $5.95 and an additional %10 off if you picked it up), so we picked four dishes: deep fried prawns, schezuan beef, lemon chicken, and a combo plate that came with sweet and sour pork, fried rice, and chicken chow mein. Are you ready for this.... all that was $23! And bonus...it tasted ok too!

After diner we opened our fortune cookies which I was actually kind of bummed doing because I had found a way that you can insert your own fortune into the cookie but you need a microwave and we left ours behind in the move... so that creative idea was sadly thrown out the window. BUT to lighten my mood I got a super stuffed cookie with three fortunes in it!

I had done some research to find a movie that was at least set in China and gave Sevio the options: Mulan (personal fave), Memoirs of a Geisha, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, Rush Hour (its got Jackie Chan in it :P), and surprisingly Kite Runner (due to dangers of filming in Afghanistan most of the film was filmed in Kashgar, China). When I mentioned the last one to Sevio he jumped on it because he just found out he has to do a book report on it for school and thought watching the movie would help him get into the book easier, but that won't be a problem because it's a great book! So to finish off our little date night we watched Kite Runner which is a great movie too!
