Re: Made it back in one piece...
Oh man...there was food! Peking duck. They baked a whole pig! There was stuff there I didn't know what it was but it was good. The parents of the bride own several Chinese restaurants in the Houston area so they've had plenty of practice cooking up some Chinese grub and it showed.
Luckily they sister of the bride was behind me in the chow line so she instructed me as to what goes with what and what to add to what.
I don't know how many courses it would have been. There were shrimp cocktails as a pre-meal thing then we mounted a full on assault of all the pig and duck and, and, and.
Of course there was an bar. I only drank Old Man's beer...that being a diet coke.
At the end of the event there was a Dragon dance that I found totally interesting and impressive.
There were probably 50-60 of her family there.
Had a good time.
