Yum yum dim sum

No deep thoughts for this post - just a memo of a real good morning with our friends Millie and Floyd and little Thor the Thunder Goddess going out for dim sum in Portland Chinatown. They ARE a cute little nuclear family, for the Lords of Valhalla, aren't they?Here you see Loki (dressed as Thor's handmaiden) and one of the Valkyries cleaning off the hands of the Goddess her own self.Missy does what she does best: eats everything within reach: I think the gauge had reached "F" in this shot.And the Peep even finds some "clean" white rice to tempt his tummy (dim sum was too wierd for this all-American boy...) American Dad, though, would inject here that Fong Chong's dim sum totally kicks ass.And later that day we went down to Astor School and played in the fierce, cold, January sunshine. Threw the lacrosse ball back and forth, or rolled it for Missy to chase; kicked the playground ball, or just chased each other. Peep played and played until dark!He learned enough lacrosse to use his stick to commit personal fouls on Missy like this one: two minutes for slashing, Peep!!

Taken altogether, a lovely Sunday.

Nice. I wish I were sitting at that table right now. To enjoy the fascinating company, of course! Not because I want to stick my face in that lotus-wrapped sticky rice...

THose pics of the dual handwashing are hilarious. Reminds me of that rockstar picture of Thor in China who had fallen asleep standing/leaning backward against the bed.

Ok, this post _really_ settles it; we're coming to Portland. Good people and that kinda food. BTW, what was the rocking restaurant we walked to, near Thor's house?

See y'all makes me miss y'all even more....
