3/6/2010: Being Content with New China Buffet

I just read in Phillipians that we should be content with what we have.  Ok, I wasn't reading the scriptures, but I did read it in a Church magazine.  The Friend.  Okay, this doesn't matter.

Here's my point:  we have no good restaurants around Homewood, so we always default to New China BuffetShould I/we be content with this? 

Probably the better question is:  am I spoiled?

The answer to both questions is "yes!"

I should be happy that the decision, when we go out to eat, is already made for me.  And in fact, I do love NCB's beef and broccoli.  And who doesn't like soft serve ice cream on a cone?  And the stuff I don't like -- like bananas in red sauce -- I don't have to eat.

Finally, I actually get to eat.  Ginger's acid reflux prevents her from eating a good meal; in the past, she could eat half her weight in broccoli and assorted vegetables.

So be grateful for what you have.  And eat all you can eat ;o)

Ironically, there is no food to be seen in this photo.

I was so excited to see a post from "Good Times" in my Google Reader! Woo-hoo!

Well I would invite you to go eat NCB this weekend but since I've noticed I'm not in your friend circle anymore and I don't get picked to play v-ball on your team anymore I won't! I guess I'm not a good enough player anymore to be included in your roster!

Abby: you are a genius for having "Good Times" in your Google Reader. You are also the only genius I know that does this ;o)

Martha: the v-ball roster should always be you, Dave, Ginger and me!
