Can you see that screenshot? It’s from A Christmas Story, arguably the most important work of art produced in the 20th century.

In case you don’t know the story… nah, go rent it if you haven’t seen it.

So there they are at the Chinese restaurant, being (politically incorrect alert) badly serenaded by the wait staff. Soon enough, they are served a smiling roast duck, and we fade out, happily ever after, etc.

We do love Peking duck, and decided that we weren’t gonna do a traditional Christmas meal this year… we did very well in the leftovers department at Thanksgiving. So, we went out and had a scrumptious lunch. Except for one guy who was married or boyfriended into a Chinese family, we were the only 白人 in the place… always a good sign.
