nightmares and sandwiches

O. woke up screaming and crying the other night, and of course S. and I ran in to comfort him from his nightmare.  

Then we hear through the tears, "You ate my sandwich!  Now I don't have a sandwich to eat!"  Yes, his nightmare was that I had eaten his McDonald's (Old McDonald to O. thank you very much) cheeseburger.  No amount of explaining that he had actually eaten his own sandwich - both at the restaurant and at home when we brought home what he had not eaten - would console the sobbing boy.  

He then tried to convince us to go back to Old McDonald's to get another sandwich. 

 "It's not far.  You just take a bus."  

Yes, this is what I get for taking him to McDonald's in the first place. 

Not that this photo has anything to do with nightmares or sandwiches, but I got my picture of the Christmas fried chicken, so I thought I'd share.

I don't think Tropicana is going to be introducing this flavor in the states anytime soon.

Coffee and fish

It's not a new Korean snack I found, (although I wouldn't be surprised as my friend once got a mixture of dried fruit and dried fish as a wedding favor...), but a coffee shop that has fish...to clean your feet!  Welcome to Dr. Fish!!  When we heard about it, O and I had to check it out.  So, with the same friend that got the korean trail mix, we headed out to see what it was all about.

First, you have to wash your feet off.  Can't be feeding the fish any dirty feet.  That just doesn't sound right...but stick with us here...

Then you get 20 minutes in here where the fish clean your feet.

Afterwards, you clean off your feet and revel in their newly found smoothness.  Then, you are strongly encouraged to get a drink...O decided on a banana-yogurt smoothie.  The drinks are expensive ($5-6) but come with free popcorn and rolls with butter and jam.  The fish were not so expensive ($2).  Let me know if you think the states would be ready for a franchise.
