Caravelle Christmas

Every year Adam throughs a shin dig at his favorite Chinese restaurant, Caravelle. We get two big tables, bring bad gifts, wear silly hats, and just sit there and have the food come to us.

This year, we started out with fresh shrimp spring rolls and corn and crab soup. Hmm. I only had one spring roll. I didn't want to fill up.

Then came the parade of food:
Lemongrass tofu
Chicken and green beans
Crispy salted shrimp (with heads YAY!!)
Orange chicken
Beef with pan fried noodles
Peking duck
etc
etc
etc

And then came time for presents. I got mine last December. My sister gave me what she thought was a perfect present, a frog in the lotus position. I'm not sure what about it was screaming Victoria. I kept it for a year in order to have a gift for Caravelle this year.

If you can believe, it was opened and people actually liked it. And it got stolen twice. In the end, Adam's dad ended up with it. He though it was great.

I stole a reed diffuser that was supposed to smell like cedar, it smelled awful. Ryan described it as smelling like urine cake. Ewwww. At least I didn't get the vintage bee honey dispenser.

Overall good night
