Does Anyone Want the Head?

Tonight Megan, yours truly, and a couple of her former students ate at a local hole in the wall called 1,2, 3.  We really like this Sichuan restaurant ’cause the place is close, the people are friendly, and of course, the food is cheap and good.  A dish that often comes to our table that we decided to order tonight was suan cai yu (sour vegetable fish).  Sarah got some of the bone stuck in her throat which made for an interesting event.  The winner has to go to Helen though.  Near the end of our meal, she asked us if we wanted to eat the fish head.  We all decided to pass on this honor which apparently can help one become more clever.  I think Helen is going to be lots smarter ’cause with the exception of the bones, that fist-sized head was all gobbled up.  Yum, yum to the tum, tum.
