Tuesday night, I ate rice, fish, pork, cauliflower, and crab. As usual, my mom did the cooking and I must add that she does the grocery shopping by herself. I got to the table late so I ate with my mom only. My mom was pretty unhappy about my getting to the table late but I think she would have been lonely if she ate alone. Dinner took about an hour an a half. Being Chinese, I believe that my mom trained us to use chopsticks. My mom and I ate with the TV on but we did not really pay attention to it; it was on so the silence would not make us feel awkward. At the dinner table, my mom continued the conversation about majoring in accounting. Before arriving at the dinner table, I was starving but the conversation made me want to get out of there. After eating, I tried to make myself feel better from making my younger sister wash the dishes by clearing the table for her.
Wednesday morning, I ate a pork bun and drank hot milk tea that my mom went out and bought at the bakery. This time, I was eating while I was standing up; I think one reason is because my mom did not start eating yet so there was no one else at the table. Breakfast took about ten minutes while watching NY1. My mom brought up a conversation and asked me why I was going to school so late today. I was pretty hungry when I woke up yesterday morning and I felt kinda anxious while eating breakfast because it was weird for me to go to school at 9:30. After finishing my pork bun, I took my milk tea and went out the door.
I skipped lunch on Wednesday. I guess one reason is because I am not used to the food around 23rd; it is different from the types of food in Chinatown. Another reason is that I feel bad spending money on lunch when I am being offered free lunch in school.
