New Family Addition

My mom wanted a new cat because our third one, Hemingway (Hemi) disappeared after going outside one night. Yesterday, after our family lunch down in Albany, OR, we drove back up to Salem and went to the Willamate Humane Society to look at cats and kittens. One particular kitty caught my mother's eye and long story short, she adopted him... 

Little guy all tuckered out.

Personally, I was fine if we did not adopt a new cat but my mom insisted because she was going through some emotions that were the results of Hemi disappearing. But I eventually grew to like this little guy so we were fine with welcoming this part-Lynx (named Link) into our family. As for Hemi, well, wherever he is, dead or alive, rest in peace little buddy.

Whatta basket case!

All I Could Eat

We went to a pretty decent Asian buffet down in Albany, just south of Salem called Golden Town Buffet. Pretty predictable name right? But like I said, it was pretty decent stuff and the lunch hour prices are quite reasonable. As always with buffets, you gotta get your money's worth. Any Asian buffet with sushi is a good start.

Inari, Salmon, and shrimp, but sadly, no tuna.

My only complaint is why doesn't an Asian buffet that serves sushi, not serve my favorite, tuna (maguro)?!

Chinese deep-fry and egg-drop soup.

Yaki-soba noodles among other things.

Mongolian Barbecue stir-fry.

Despite my complaint, it's a pretty decent selection of food so I'll take it for all its worth. Plus, we ended with a decent dessert selection so it was a buffet worth going to.
