Food Fest

Last night, J1 and I went to Monsoon, a Vietnamese restaurant on the UWS, for dinner with one of our friends, a male who is not named in the list of characters. So we'll call him Boy. Other of our friends, such as K1, were also at the restaurant. However, they declined to sit and eat with us because that's just what kind of people they are. hehehe.

Anyway, we ordered so much food. We were doing family-style, so we started out with three entrees. But apparently Boy, who had spent the day at the beach, had worked up an appetite in the sun. So we ordered another entree. Then another one. He and I were putting away the food like Ethopian children who hijacked a food truck. It was all SO incredibly good though. Monsoon is such a solid restaurant. The food is so flavorful, it is healthy, and it is relatively cheap. The bamboo rice was a highlight, as was the lemongrass tofu.

J1 didn't eat that much food, so I think between us Boy and I ate at least two entrees each. And then, we went to Edgar's Cafe for dessert. Yeah, it was a food fest all right. By the way, at Edgar's, Boy got the coconut sorbetto. It was excellent, and came served in half a pineapple. I would highly recommend it.

But the real point of this post, beyond talking about all the food we ate, is to talk about K1, who is really an awesome person. And by awesome, I mean totally sweet. Anyway, apparently she has been told that she's not a very nice person, and that being in New York has made her even less nice. I strongly dispute this proposition. I think she is a sweet, caring person who is an excellent friend. She may have some rough edges, but so do many of us. Don't mistake the defense of oneself with being mean, that's all I have to say.

And hey, you're nicer than people who make passive-aggressive, extremely bitchy comments to people at dinner. No, I'm not going to go into details, but it's quite the funny story.
