George's parents


I don't have time to write much today, but here's one picture from last weekend's trip to NYC.

These are my in-laws, Ella and Alex. We were at a Chinese buffet. Alex took this gigantic fish.

They had a notice on the table warning: "do not waste food! If you waste food, we will add the cost to your bill!" I've never seen a threat like that at a buffet.

Alex did finish that whole fish.

That is crazy I have never seen a sign like that. What if you tried something and thought it was gross, are you than responsible to eat it or be charged more for them making bad food?

They look super nice.

I can't believe they had a sign that said that!

Karin, I was thinking about that. George could not eat the baby octopus he sampled, because it was like rubber. I think they are a little crazy.

Susie, I couldn't believe it either. I thought, "who would ever take one of those whole fish?!" Then when I got back to my table my question was answered.

Barbara, they are indeed very nice. :0)

What the? That's crazy! They must have a problem with people filling up their plates and then leaving.

I saw a sign like that at a Chinese buffet in Missouri. Maybe it's a Chinese thingy.
Nice photo.

Wow George looks like his dad.

I couldn't put a whole fish on my plate. I don't like my food to look at me.
