To celebrate MIT, we went to a restaurant downtown called Parco Cafe. The chef is from Taiwan and trained in France. They label themselves as “Fusion Cuisine,” and I can’t think of any better way to describe it. Except maybe really, really tasty.

Seriously—this place is good. Everything is good. Everyone in my family sampled everything from the meal that everyone got, and we all liked everything. The French training really comes across in the soups—there’s a strength of flavor that anything not French just doesn’t have. The main dishes had French names, but a distinct Asian feel to them. I had duck, Mom and Dad had lamb, Austin had pork, and Aaron had shrimp and seafood. I didn’t try anyone else’s dessert, but my chocolate cheesecake was delicious.

Once I got home, I logged in to World of Warcraft for a few minutes of mindless running around and orc slaying. As I’m walking into Stormwind, the Human capital city, I see what must have been 20 Level 1 gnomes running out. Actually, running is a bad word. Skipping is better. We’re ignoring, for a moment, the fact that you can’t skip in WoW, because with some clever use of jumping, they were pulling it off.

In any case, they skipped out of Stormwind yelling, “Hogger raid!” Hogger is an elite, which is, well, basically the closest you can get in WoW to a boss character. Not someone you want to try and kill without being at least level 15 or 16. Anyway, very funny, although probably only to someone who plays WoW. I really wish I had a screenshot though.
