Okay, so today is my birthday. Long ago, I was born on a day that also happened to be the day of atonement (Yom Kippur) for those of the Jewish faith. I can't remember if I fasted that first day. I doubt it though. I was born with a full head of hair. I was the prettiest baby born in Cleveland that day, according to my parents. That probably eased the pain they felt since they were shooting for a girl. They would have to wait another five years for that to happen. I had, from the moment I arrived, two older brothers.
The family moved to the San Fernando Valley in California in 1957. I surfed.
Eventually, I moved out of my parents house. I now live in Santa Monica with my girlfriend and one of my sons, and it's my birthday again.
On Sunday, we are going for Dim Sum in Chinatown...

Happy birthday!! May you and your's enjoy many more.
I myself, no longer have birthdays. At my age, they've become more trouble than they're worth.

What is Dim Sum anyway? I've seen it mentioned in lots of movies, but I've never seen it on the menu at my favourite Chinese restaurant.

Dim sum are dishes that are generally bite-sized. Items are usually steamed or fried. In my experience, while a restaurant is serving dim sum, that is all they are doing. What makes dim sum fun is the enormous variety. Employees wander through the restaurant, pushing a steam cart with stacks of metal containers. They show you what they have, and you pick what you want. Other employees come around with carts laden with fried/baked items. It's generally best with a large group, which allows you to try a wider variety of foods. San Diego has some good dim sum places. |
