if you were wondering why i've placed the monkey pic up above, it's because i feel like a total dink. yes, i said "dink."
today we went to a great sushi bar near our home and i was having a bit of trouble with our teriyaki salmon. the skin of the salmon just wasn't working with me and my chopsticks. well, i'm a bit frustrated but i take a break from that fish and go on to our sushi and sahimi.
when i had my fill of the sushi and sahimi i thought it was a good time to have at the salmon. i wanted to take that salmon skin along with the meat but it didn't seem to be happening for me, i didn't want to give up. this is when a kind server came up to me and bent over like she was talking to a child and with a kind voice she asked, "are you having trouble? would you like a fork?"
shock and shame raced through me when that had been asked. nevermind that i had problems with chopsticks over 10 years ago (i'd like to blame that on my chinese grandmother keeping me from sticks 'cause i might hurt myself). ;p sorry for the comment but to be the asian at the table and have that happen with a caucasian date present truly embarrassed me.
