Before I forget---today I ate dim sum, and in a moment of folly nibbled on a chicken foot.

Not a picture I took, just one from google
I guess my real mistake was remembering, when I picked it up, that it had strange, flabby finger-toes that I did not want to put in my mouth.
It tasted a little like the sauce-soaked breading on buffalo wings, only smoother and richer. In terms of flavor it was kind of nice. But. I was eating toes. Yang accumulated a scary little pile of bones on his plate from eating all the rest. Frakkin' toaster. I still really like the desserts at dim sum!
The place I have gone for dim sum for years now was closed for renovations. We went across the street to the general Chinese food dive and found that it, too, was closed for renovations. Yang reported that the Super 88 was also closed for renovations. Oh, wow, we're in recession? YOU DON'T SAY. We ate at China Pearl and stopped off at two bakeries, still open and positively exploding with customers, for goodies.
