Chinese Spinach

It’s always fun to pick up on little conversations from others, isn’t it? Especially if they are in Chinese! For me, that is such a little victory. Eavesdropping in Chinese is fun! Anyway, as I sit here thinking of what to make for dinner, it reminded me of a little conversation I overheard during one of my morning hikes last week.
It was an older married couple (at least that’s what I gathered from looking at the sweetness in them). They were discussing what kind of vegetables to eat for lunch or dinner. Or it could have even been breakfast! The wife kept suggesting different vegetables, and the husband kept saying “that’s not good.”

Here’s a little script for fun:
Wife: How about cabbage?
Husband: Cabbage? No cabbage is not good!
Wife: Chinese Spinach?
Husband: Chinese Spinach? No, that’s not good!
Wife: What about lettuce?
Husband: That’s not good. No, no, not lettuce.

*This is starting to sound like a Let’s Talk in English script. :)

Since Rachel and I hike at super sonic speed that’s all I caught from the conversation. I do hope they settled on a vegetable of choice. Oh, the drama of our little neighbourhood. It’s fun!

My vegetable of choice would be sweet potato leaves. Oh, how I so enjoy sweet potato leaves! Makes the rabbit in me do little heart hippidy hops! Linda and I each enjoyed a plate of this deep green vegetable goodness at one of our favourite local eateries today for lunch.

Now what shall I make Daniel for dinner tonight. This is how our conversation may just go . . .

Wife: Honey, what would you like for dinner?
Husband: Bacon!
Wife: How about a nice vegetarian chili?
Husband: How about some bacon?
Wife: Or a salad?
Husband: With bacon bits? Or bacon chunks. Bacon would be great!
Wife: So you want bacon?
Husband: I like bacon.

I’ve been cooking a lot of bacon lately. Tee hee. I really have been writing too many LTE scripts today. :)

Though when we look at the scripts of our days we simply must smile :)

Now what vegetable shall I make to go with the bacon . . .
