What Does This Have to do With the Price of Rice in China, you ask…

This has a lot to do with the price of rice in China.

Because when you order take out and you ask for extra spice, you will get this:

FOUR HUGE CONTAINERS OF RICE! And when I say huge, I mean it. I swear each one was stuffed full and weighed five pounds.

Clearly the order taker heard “we’d like extra rice” versus the intended “we’d like extra spice”.

So blame me if crazy things happen that can be traced back to the price of rice in China. And please, don’t tell Dr. Atkins what’s in my fridge. He’d have a heart attack.

    Courtney: You make me laugh. Especially considering who you married. Not because you married him. But because the two of you are hysterical! My abs are still sore from our Sunday visit.

    Becky: I LOVE knowing you are laughing (especially considering your challenges the last few weeks). It just proves pronunciation and enunciation are key to getting what you want. Hugs!

    I’m still so mad we didn’t get the extra chili powder after all …

    So can I come over and make fried rice or what?

    They’ll be so excited you’ll probably get chili AND free food.
