My Weird Habits I have been tagged by two other bloggers to list my weird habits. I don’t know whether these are all that weird, but here goes:

My weird eating habits:
(1) When eating in a restaurant, I always use hot tea to clean my chopsticks, no matter how clean or elegant the restaurant is.
(2) If I really like a dish, I will eat it to the last grain of rice or last drop (i.e., leave absolutely nothing on the plate).
(3) When bringing my lunch to work, I am not afraid to bring smelly but tasty dishes like 鹹 魚 雞 粒 豆 腐 煲 (salted fish, chicken, and toufu hot pot) or 蝦 醬 鮮 魷 (stir-fried squid in shrimp sauce).
(4) I tend to save my favorite dish for the last, so that the taste will linger in my mouth.
(5) I am absolutely nuts about 四 川 腐 乳 (hot bean curd) and love to eat it with many dishes, especially 枝 竹 羊 腩 煲 (goat and dried bean curd hot pot).

Other weird habits:
(1) When I borrow a library book and see that few or no people have checked it out before, I worry that I am weird or out of step.
(2) My back tends to itch, and I love back scratching, rubbing, etc. (probably a throwback to childhood).
(3) I must have a big bladder, because I can go the whole day without going to the bathroom, especially when on a long hike or trip.

Tomorrow, I will try to finish the story about 米 線 (rice noodles) in Hong Kong.  ¶ 9:00 PM
