xsboy just called me to say that they just landed in Cincinnati, so i can relax a bit.
That is completely and totally ABSURD.
Our PTA "Breakfast with Santa" is tomorrow, as i mentioned on that thread. The only complaints ahve been from a couple of Girl Scout parents, because tomorrow is also the Chincoteague Christmas parade and most of the local GS troops will be in that.
well you may not have as many non-Christians. i know from when my kids were little we went every year to Nordstrom for the breakfast with santa, then it was breakfast with FROSTY and now i don't think they do ANYthing like it any longer. there are TON of arabs that shop there at Tysons. they also had the really cute OLIVE THE OTHER REINDEER theme a few years back, which xsbrownie loved.
Arabs are not something we have around here.....messicans OTOH........
messicans are santa-philes, hence your lack of problems : )
LOL!!!!!!!!!
Well, we don't have anybody here, so we can still have Santa and Christmas.
pittsburgh sure looks WHITE when we go up there now!
It's the whitest of the top 25 or whatever metro areas.
it's no surprise that i had not had chinese food before moving down here, bc there were none/few chinese restaurants staffed by natives up there. i love chinese food, but i would probably still not eat chinese in PGh.
But now there are many Chinese places about. They seem to do well, especially the buffets. My daughter has loved the stuff since her earliest days. Nothing spicy, of course.
I do wonder whether the Chinese restaurants, Asian nail parlors and "massage" places (before they got busted) aren't all part of the same enterprise. If you're no good at doing nails, they make you work giving massages.
my kids have always loved spicy and love chinese food. i think i would still be leery of Pittsburgh chinese food!
There's Chinese people making it and serving it and pretending to have American names. It's not like we've got Poles and Italians making it.
hey poles and dagos cook good! whatsamatta them?
When I was in San Francisco a few years ago I laughed at a place called "Chico's Pizza." Just incongrous, know what I mean?
omigosh we have no dagos making pizza here, we have greeks, arabs and hispanics making them, but very few dago pizza makers! this area just doesn't have the OLD ethnics, we have the NEW ones, asians, africans, hispanics etc. It would be so cool if someone would open a Polish restaurant down here.
Thank you!
Stop making me hungry for Chinese food-I'm grilling ribeye steaks, baking potatoes and steaming asparagus for dinner.
When I was married to my ex, the the best "real" Mexican restaurant-as in no Texmex food-that we went to in SA was owned by a guy from San Miguel de Allende who was a rep for Merck-and the cook there was Vietnamese...
