A-Wah

I'm back in New York now, and already feeling depressed about the lack of good Chinese food. There is really no Chinese food near I live, at least not decently priced. I realize as well that I developed a bubble tea addiction. 

Back when I was getting ready to go to my friend's wedding, I had a lot of errands to run in very little time--I had to buy a card, go to the bank, and buy some make up, since most of mine was in New York. We also had to stop by the hospital, to visit my friend's relative. On the way, she kept telling me about a good bubble tea place, not far from the hospital. As we were getting ready to leave the hospital however, she said that traffic may be bad.

"We have time," I said, but everyone ignored me like a child, which is the right thing to do because I have no sense of how far anything really is.

She and her fiancé debated the distance, and rattled off our to do list. 

"We can get bubble tea," I kept saying, but no one listened. Finally I said, "right now, bubble tea is first priority!! I can show up without make up, and I can mail her a check later!"

As I drank my bubble tea in the car, it occurred to me that this bubble tea addiction may be out of control. 

Sadly, I am also experiencing Chinese food withdrawal. At least most of the Chinese food I ate was really healthy. In the US, a lot of Chinese restaurants are really greasy. I am now waiting for my food in Chinatown, at A-Wah, mourning the lack of cucumbers and moor mushrooms. This vegetable dish is pretty good though.
