Thanksgiving festivities

When Gong Gong arraived he made his signature dishes. In fact, once Shao got really mad when Gong Gong came and did not make his signature fish. Dai dai is really into these Taiwanese eggs and beef.

And that was the pre-Thanksgiving meal. This year we were supposed to have Turkey Legs. But Amah forgot to buy them. Oh my god what are we going to do? Buy a chicken instead? No. We already had chicken legs in the freezer. Just make that.

Because why do we have to kill ourselves over a meal? What's with the gulttony? In any case, we had white food, which is sort of different, and Gong Gong is here. I was so glad afterward when I knew that we didn't have massive amounts of leftovers. (Actually we still have a ton of food to eat anyway because Gong Gong brought all those eggs and beef etc.) There's no shortage of food in this house. No need to have more surplus on top of the surplus we already have.

So we've been watching a lot of Godfather and also Into the Badlands. (It's no Main in the High Castle that's for sure.) But it is Game of Thrones meets Gone with The Wind meets Hong Kong Cinema. In fact it stars Daniel Wu. Probably the only reason I am even watching this show at all, is because it is starring Daniel Wu. Daniel Wu, although a Hong Kong Movie star, was born in Canada. So actually unlike the other Hong Kong stars that have crossed over to do American TV and movies (Jet Li, Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung, Chow Yun Faht, and I guess we can talk about Gong Li even though she is mainland, she was in a few Hong Kong movies too.) Now those guys learned English and spoke well. But Daniel Wu's English is actually better than his Chinese. He had to learn Cantonese to be in movies. By the way this show is violent as hell and not for kids at all. 

Well, today it's off to MIT for some museum event. Eating and watching TV. That's what makes it feel like a holiday.
