what do jews do on x mas?

go out for chinese food! duh! last night i joined a few folks at joe's shanghai (9 Pell Street New York, New York 10013  212.233.8888)  yum! after an hour wait (and trust me i never would have waited but i saw all the dishes coming out of the kitchen and so...) we gorged ourselves on everything chinese! oh holy night indeed! wowzer. we ordered: moo shu chicken (the yummy dish that comes with "pancakes" (these are really tortilla-like flour wrap thingy's) to wrap your lovely contents in, beef and broc, 2 orders of scallion pancakes, 2 orders of soup dumplings (stuffed w pork *these are their speciality and are YUM), chicken pan fried noodles, and an order of eggplant. i think that's all? did i mention there were only 4 of us? we cleaned up pretty well-- of course i was with 3 other dudes and out ate all of them; could have kept going but didn't wanna push it. Oh, and i insisted on stopping at juniors (386 Flatbush Avenue Extension at Dekalb Avenue Brooklyn, New York 11201 718.852.5257) for some cheescake! then got snarked at for getting one piece of cheesecake and one piece of red velvet cake (yes i am a glut). and you were right ok! the red velvet was not good! you happy!? 

hmmm wonder why i feel like garbage today!?? but well worth it! yum
