No Tater Tots

Madison is sniffing here and there, a sure sign that she's coming down with something. We've got the medication for her, and we're taking it easy with her too. She did come to the church to visit Daddy though, which is always a great surprise. Today, we went out to eat at an Asian restaurant in Gainesville - it wasn't bad, actually. It was an all-you-can eat buffet that reminded Daddy a little of the hotel restaurants in China, except for one thing: no tater tots.

For some reason, tater tots were at every hotel buffet restaurant in China. We're talking the really nice ones too! You could see them even in the illustrious White Swan Hotel in Guangzhou. Here was this incredible restaurant with all sorts of amazing entries - I remember vividly sampling sea hedgehog, but there was a wondrous variety of foods there. And still, you could see the tater tots right there in the middle of the buffet selection, as if to say, "Now, this is indeed a fine dining establishment."

Naturally, Daddy got the tater tots and put them on the plate, in between the salmon and the sea hedgehog.

This thread of conversation could go anywhere now, couldn't it? We could talk about tater tots - yes, Madison's first tater tots were probably eaten at the Majestic Hotel in Nanning. We had them at the buffet, available for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Who'd have thought that tater tots would make such an exquisite dining choice in the morning?

They tasted better than the sea hedgehog, that's for sure.
