Recently, I had the privilege of being in Charlotte, NC for my nephew's hockey tournament. I know... right?... Who would have thought Hockey in Charlotte!! Anyways, while in between games, my brother and I decided to leave his 13 year old hockey star with his hockey team representing the state of Washington, to seek out "Chinatown". I love how we just assume every city has a Chinatown.... hmm, well, Charlotte does not - so to speak. They have a few Asian type of restaurants, including this one....
After our meal of Sukiyaki... and I call it Sukiyaki, because what we ordered was a mis-mash of things - some tasty, some not... our waiter brought us the traditional Asian dessert, fortune cookies. As a matter of fact, I'm probably going to offend somebody when I say, I'm not even sure what Sukiyaki is... LOL, it's not Chinese, I know. To me, the word itself implies a mis-mash of Asian things put together....
So speaking of Sukiyaki.... here's mine:
- Hiroko is Japanese, I am not...
- She can hit the high D note, where I struggle with Do-Re-Me's...
- I wanted to play the melody but she made me sing it...
- She likes to sing, but I made her pick the melody...
- Hiroko likes the open chords, I like playing closed chords up the neck...
- Hiroko thinks mistakes are cute, I crave & want "Perfection"...
After 4 takes, I felt this video was not any where near perfect... I wanted to re-record it again and again but I think my friend wanted to hit me, so I let her have her cute stuff in our contest video!! It's funny how things work out... we won our division, "Group Cover Song" even with those "cute" moments unedited!
Sometimes "perfection" isn't always needed and
Sometimes "perfection" isn't always needed and
Sometimes a mis-mash of Sukiyaki is a great thing...
Kinda like ice hockey and North Carolina...
Did you know in 2006, the Carolina Hurricanes won the ultimate championship in hockey... the NHL's Stanley Cup!! That is something to brag about for sure!!!
Sad to say, Seattle, WA did not win the National Bantam Tier II title but I'm sure proud of them for being State champs but happily to report I had a lot of fun in N.Carolina with my brother & nephew...
