So we take a short break between the Xi’an posts for a quick blurb on Easter Sunday. You might note that it’s a day after Easter Sunday (which also happened to be Warren’s birthday) and we have to fess up…..we ate the Easter bunny. [To the tune of I Shot the Sheriff] I ate the rabbit ‘cause he didn’t bring me Easter eggs. Okay, a little explanation. Since it was Warren’s birthday, we allowed him to choose the fine dining establishment for dinner. His selection; Baschu, the Szechuan restaurant about 5 minutes from the apartment. The place is usually very crowded (which is always a good sign) and so we headed out early to ensure we didn’t have to wait for a table. We got right in and started through the menu to pick our favorites. The one thing we had to have….spicy rabbit leg. Sorry Easter bunny fans but eating rabbit leg on Easter seemed to be the perfect fit. It was very tasty and you wouldn’t know that the rabbit has just gone around the world delivering Easter eggs and jellybeans. Of course since we didn’t get any of those things we got our revenge by eating the rabbit. Now it may not have been THE Easter bunny but I think we sent a message about our expectations for next year. I guess the chef at Baschu could now be called Elmer Foo (kill the wabbit, kill the wabbit…).
One other strange sight from yesterday day was that as Tammy and I headed to Auchan to pick up a few things, we drove by the Blue Marlin restaurant. Hanging outside the establishment was somebody dressed in a Bugs Bunny outfit. Now perhaps it is just me but I’ve never, ever confused Bugs Bunny with the Easter Bunny. No relation, no way, no how. But in China, a bunny is a bunny so shut your trap and bring your kids over to get their photo taken with Bugs/Easter Bunny. Anyhow, that was our Easter on this side of the world. Hope you enjoyed your Easter Sunday.
Now we return to our regularly scheduled Xi’an stories, stay tuned.
It's time!
