that sounds excellent. latey i've been having odd cravings for wonton soup
minus the wontons and loaded with green onions and thin-sliced mushrooms
with a touch of soy sauce. they serve it at a local super-generic-asian
buffett here. i'm guessing its the salt. or maybe the resulting weird
psychological effects from the (technically) chicken soup.

usually if we go out we end up driving hell-and-gone for dinner. 15-20
miles to the other side of town :)
