Happy Birthday Tolu.

Yesterday was my Nigerian friend Tolu's 17th birthday. I was lucky enough to spend most of it with her, doing whatever she thought would be special for her first American birthday. I had been looking around recently and found someone who could braid her hair the way she liked it. (I tried once, but I'm white, so what do I know.) So my present to her was treating her to a head full of braids, done by someone with experience.

Next, it was off to Lin's Asian Buffet. Where, she treated me!!! Fan-damn-tastic! We agreed going in, that we were going to eat our money's worth. Glorious.



Check out the smile!



SUSHI!! I freaking love sushi, and was more than happy to share my love and knowledge with Tolu, who was a sushi virgin.



Still smiling!!!!




At this point we are nearing the end and I am completely stuffed, but what "Chinese fast food" experience would be complete without the "free" ice cream. Still smiling. Bring it!



Oh yeah.



I think it was the fortune cookie that really pushed my over the edge. I was defeated. "I give up!" And that's where it ended. Beautiful sweet gluttony.


What a good day.

I ate at an all-you-can eat sushi buffet in singapore with D. Ling. Big mistake. I wanted to die by the time I walked (waddled) out of there. It always starts off so well...
