But you can cook your own food!

We went to dinner the other night with some good friends and they were really excited to take us to a place down in Chinatown. It's really good, they told us. I didn't doubt them.

Then we got there. Hey, it's a place where you cook your own food! Just like Lost in Translation!

Here's the thing, if I wanted to cook my own food I would not be at a restaurant in Chinatown. Still, despite the fact that the food was a bit bland and parboiled (you boil your own food!) the smoothies were good. A little rum would have made them better.

The lesson here is that if your beloved friends wish to take you to a hot pot place (Shabu Shabu) and you go along, order an extra smoothie and see if they can't throw a little rum into it.
