  • Mushroom in Can

    We're back.


    We came back yesterday afternoon, but we were busy with our kids, and I acquired a headache shortly after we got home.


    It was nice.  We tried a bit too hard, and not hard enough.


    I know that sentence doesn't make sense.  LOL


    The too hard.  My gut said to just stay in Port Angeles--there's a beautiful motel their that looks over the harbor.  We were just too tired to enjoy the beach at lapush.  TOO much driving.   (aren't we pathetic?)   The not hard enough.  We had some pretty strong miscommunication happen.  We  straightened it out without yelling...but man if I had just asked a simple question we coulda saved an hour of frustration.  LOL


    It was still a nice break, and we had a good time.


    We went to our favorite Chinese restaurant in Forks.  We were highly amused there at the waitress.  Rob ordered Happy Family.  He thoroughly enjoyed it except for one kind of mushroom.  We both have the same opinion about this particular mushroom--it just tastes a bit too much like dirt.  LOL   He picked them out and left them on the plate leaving everything else.  The waitress noticed this and kinda chuckled about it.  Her English was extremely poor--she's Chinese. 


    I smiled at her, and exchanged words, and then said.  "What kind of mushroom is it?"  Rob and I had been curious, because we usually like various kinds of mushrooms.  "Mushroom in can."  She said with a grin.   That wasn't the answer we'd been expecting, and we were rather trying not to giggle.  "No, what kind inside the can?  Mushroom in can.  Chinese mushroom."  The lady said.


    So now we know...we don't like mushroom in can.  *snigger*


    We left Jeremiah at my parents, and my mom said she was astounded as to how well he did.  So that was a nice relief.  And all in all it was a nice break.
