Y’know Jane and I have devolved, this spring, from diet to just ‘being pretty careful about what we eat’ —and going back on the diet any time we pile on a pound or two.<\/p>\n
Well, the wedding was a wee bit indulgent. Wine, champagne—that’s ok: there’s a limit after which you’ll stop. [One hopes!] But cake, icing, tortillas and barbecue, roasted chicken, nachos, etc…especially the cake and tortillas…well, we overate. And outright refined sugar is as foreign to our diets as it was to, well, all of humanity until the 1700’s.<\/p>\n
Buttercream icing. Raspberry filling in chocolate cake…<\/p>\n

So, well, I’ve had a very iffy tummy all day Sunday, Monday… Tuesday I declared I wanted to go to Hong Kong Express for lunch. This is a tiny restaurant, a lot resembling a doublewide trailer, that serves dim sum and the best Chinese menu in town, as we see it, probably the best I’ve ever had. The seating is about 10 benches and two long tables and wine service is a glass-doored fridge standing in the dining room. That sort of place. <\/p>\n
