“Like martial arts, the Chinese cuisine at Yeung Shing...packs a one-two punch in flavor.”

“Everyone needs to have access both to grandparents and grandchildren in order to be a full human being.”
—Margarent Mead
Almost everyone has a favorite Chinese restaurant. One of our go to places—either to dine—in or take-out is Yeung Shing, which specializes in Shezchaun and Cantonese—style cuisine. Shezchuan tends to be hot and spicy and Cantonese is salty, sour and pungent, and prepared in a wok. The aromatics of the food is heavenly.
Cecile and I hosted the event on our backyard terrace on Friday. The timing couldn’t have been better. After another heat wave, the early evening temperature finally dropped from 95 degrees to 79, that made it possible to eat outdoors.
Our daughter Michelle and husband Kyle and Lyla, Emmy and baby Gus were surrounded by their grandparents and part-time caregivers, Kim and AL (Lolly & Pop); Ed and Gerry (Grampie and GG), and yours truly, Dennis and Cecile (Papa and Nonnie)
Kim and AL brought a tray of delicious baguette appetizers, from Kim’s late mother’s recipe and Ed and Gerry brought dessert: A Giant chocolate chip cookie that she cut in slices and served us with scoops of her homemade ice cream that was to die for.
After dinner, I took Lyla and Emmy on a walk/ride on the baby stroller—that they have clearly outgrown—around the lake in our gated community to see the ducks. Gerry asked Lyla to let her know how many ducks she and Emmy would saw when we got back. There were 19 cuddled up together at edge of the lake. They also saw a few white tailed bunnies and lizzards scampering along the way.
