Ryan, Meaghan and I went out to dinner last night. The food was so good—it was this Japanese restaurant on Church street. I had this fried chicken that I thought was just amazing, but Meaghan thought it was nasty, I guess she doesn’t like fried food. Ryan didn’t know what wasabi was, so I made him eat a spoonful of it—it was so hot that he turned red and started coughing. Meaghan and I laughed. The three of us just pigged out, I could barely walk home after I was so stuffed.
