I don't see anything wrong with eating Asian food with chopsticks. It
is traditional and helps make a meal "different" than eating the usual
meatloaf.

As far as being "cool"... most of my meals are eaten with Becca I don't
have to impress her because she already knows how cool I am. I could eat
with my fingers and wipe my mouth on my sleeve and she would still think
that I am cool.

Speaking of which, I am making Spring Rolls for dinner tonight... Becca
makes the sauce and we both eat with our fingers!

We are just too cool for school!
