Along the Lines of.... Chinese Food

There is something deeply satisfying about a take-out order of Chinese food. It might be the square-ish shaped box with the little wire handle, or maybe it's the comfort of fried food that isn't American.
Tonight's order was pressed almond chicken and ham fried rice, which came with a small container of sweet and sour sauce and another smaller side of white, steamed rice. Now this food isn't your regular Panda Express or Rice King food; it belongs to a higher group of take out: Golden Tree Cafe. If you have yet to experience the glorious food that springs forth from these kitchens, I encourage you to take whatever transportation is necessary to partake.
As I said earlier, there is just something about Chinese food that satisfies the deepest of cravings (except, perhaps, that of crystal methamphetamine and other such illegal drugs). It was particularly satisfying to change into my pajamas, open my laptop, and scoop small spoonfuls of ham fried rice into my mouth after a long day/night of work.
You know, I have this vision of a date I would love to go on. The basics are the same, but with one variable. I would love to get Chinese take-out and watch re-runs of I Love Lucy by a fireplace. Any old television show or movie would work, really. As for that variable I was talking about, it would also be enjoyable to enjoy that same Chinese food at a drive-in movie. Picture cuddling up together in the bed of a truck with a blanket draped over our feet, delicious food in our hands, and a movie out in the cool, summer night's air.
Wonderful, isn't it?
And now, my paper container of fried rice is now depleted of it's contents.
Good-bye, my dear ham fried rice. I shall miss you.
