BACHELOR PARTY

Sorry JD, but last night's bachelor party was easily the tamest one I've ever been to in my entire life. It was probably my oldest brother that set the bar for what bachelor parties are supposed to be like. They're supposed to be crazy! But all we did was drink a few drinks at Mesa in Costa Mesa. It was so tame, there were no women involved. That's pretty disturbing in my mind, but it was what it was.

I realized it's going to be very difficult for me to write an entry every single day. Sometimes, like last night, I will just get home too late and will be too tired to write anything. But that doesn't mean I won't try, it just means that I think it'll be more difficult than I realized.

After a simple wedding rehearsal, we had dinner at Capital Seafood. It was awesome. It was like a ten-course Chinese meal where awesome dishes just kept coming out. It was a little weird not having access to rice while eating all the dishes, but if rice was served, there would be no way we would finish the food. JD's dad ordered two of these courses and there was about 18 of us and we couldn't finish everything. It was impossible.

It started with this duck/pork/beef dish where they took these meats and sliced them thin. There were also pickled vegetables and some thick glass noodles served with it. Then the shark fin soup came out and I wondered if the shark fin was just sliced off the shark and the rest of the shark thrown back in the ocean. Next came snow pea leaves that were like spinach but held its shape better. Then the lobster came out and after that sliced fillet mignon probably pan fried in some kind of soy based sauce.

It didn't end there however, because a seafood medley came out in a pot, kind of like a stew. To top it all off, the biggest plate of honey walnut shrimp came out and a tiny bowl of stir fried rice accompanied it. They say the Chinese serve rice at the end to make sure you leave full, but there was almost no room for it. For dessert, a hot bowl of sweet almond soup that had some kind of pastry balloon on top that you had to break into to get into the bowl.

All in all, the dinner was much more exciting than the bachelor party. But we did vow to have a guy's night out in Vegas to make-up for the party. Hopefully this will happen sometime in May.
