Thursday May 31, 1991 First
Time Chinese
Had dinner with Marnie’s
parents. Yen Ching. This is going to sound stupid, but it is the
first time I ever had Chinese food.
Where I grew up, we’re not normal Americans. We don’t go out for Chinese. We eat about twelve things other than
special, seasonal meals and none of them include going out for a casual dinner.
I ate the hot braised
pork. Fucking fantastic. Marnie and I were so hung over, but perked up
at dinner with her p’s. They’re really
great. They were going to stay in town
one more night, at the Fargo I think, then go on vacation, or back home or who
knows where.
I was so into the dinner, I didn’t pay attention to
much of what anyone was saying
