You better like seafood ...

A lazy weekend all around, with qbear mostly recovering from a brief illness last week. We did attend a wedding of one of Jack's co-workers Saturday,a big Chinese-American wedding in Oakland with a fancy wedding banquet afterwards:

Course 1: appetizers: slices of roasted pork, roasted baby squid, seaweed salad, jellyfish, barbecued pork
Course 2: shark's fin soup
Course 3: scallops, shrimp and calamari in a fried noodle nest
Course 4: crab cakes with crab claw
Course 5: pigeon
Course 6: mushrooms and broccoli in a dry scallop sauce
Course 7: lobster
Course 8: black bass
Course 9: fried rice with shrimp and pork
Course 10: wedding cake

All in all, the best food I have ever had at a wedding!* Although the beverages were limited to apple cider soda, green tea, Budweiser, and on each table, a big bottle of cognac.

* OK, I would never order shark's fin soup in a restaurant. It's revolting, the way sharks are hunted for their fins and the rest just thrown back into the ocean.**

** OK, the way most seafood is caught is disgustingly wasteful. Knowing this, I still enjoyed the dinner.
