Resisted the Temptation.

KenK/84Bravo
Was way Jonesing for some Taco's on the way home.

Decided to forego that, and stop off at the Chinese Buffet. (Much better deal, $3.99/lb for "lunch.") [3:30 pm qualifies.] About 3-4 pounds of food for about $16.

Broccoli and Chicken, Sweet and Sour Pork, steamed/olive oil sauteed green beens, Thai Chicken, Korean Chicken, Egg rolls, Teriyaki Chicken Kabobs, at least one pound of Pepper Shrimp. Etc.

I make my own Rice when I get home. (Why would I pay $3.99/lb for rice?)

Dinner tonight. Lunch tommorrow, dinner tomorrow night easy. Perhaps lunch the next day. (Excellent deal.)

    I know what you mean about temptation, Ken. Last weekend, I left the house to go check the mail, only to discover a yard sale just down the street. Thought what the hell, I'll stop on the way by. Hadn't really planned on buying anything. I walk across the yard, only to find a couple trunks full of MRE mains, accessories, and piles of once-fired brass. 4 one-gallon zip lock bags full of LC14 5.56 brass for a buck a bag, and more MRE stuff than I could carry in one trip, so I made two or three. Think I ended up spending 20 bucks total.


    The body was weak, and so was the spirit. Mmmm, decade-old jalapeno cheese spread.:lol:;)

    I'd have popped on the MRE stuff, also. Good score.

    This is where the "fortune cookie" where the paper reads "that wasn't Chinese you had" tells the truth :lol:.

    Yes.

    (And) Mountain City, TN. Chinese is even more different. ;)


    We are lucky to have them. They have expanded several times. Changed Owners once in the last 6-7 years I have been down here. Japanese/Family owned both times.

    As I said to the female owner when she rang me up. (I am a once a week regular, so she chats me up.) "Best Food Deal in Town." Where else can you walk in/walk out within 5-10 minutes, get pretty much whatever you want (variety wise) and spend about $15-16 for 3-4 lbs of prepared food? (Not to mention getting a pound of lightly breaded [Tempura?] whole shrimp for $3.99/lb.)


    As I have said, for a little Extreme NE TN. town in the sticks, we are lucky to have them.

    They get a ton of local repeat business.
