Loyal reader Al recently sent me the following instructions on how to use chopsticks:
"Welcome to Chinese Restaurant
Please try your nice Chinese Food with Chopsticks
the traditional and typical of Chinese glonous history
and cultual.
Learn how to use your chopsticks
Tuk under thurnb and held firmly
Add second chcostick
hold it as you hold a pencil
Hold tirst chopstick in originai position
move the second' one up and down
Now you can pick up anything:"
I recently saw this same set of instructions at a new Chinese restaurant in our neighborhood. Its name is "Tinkling Spring." Business is, shall we say, not quite booming.
As I fixed my tea this morning, I read the following sentence on my box of teabags:
"Black tea, such as the tea contained in this package, and green tea naturally contain flavonoid antioxidnts, which may help protect the body from the damage caused by harmful free radicals."
As Mike and I have our share of long-haired hippie freaks in our family past, this really set my mind at ease. Just think how much tear gas would have been saved if riot police had known about black tea!

Sigh.
