漢堡餐 Hamburger Dinner

星期五是小表弟滿月的日子，坐月子團除了有一次到餐廳吃披薩之外，幾乎都是在家吃中式料理，逵革媽咪建議大家去漢堡店慶祝。起初阿嬤和姑婆認為麥當勞的漢堡台灣到處都吃的到，我解釋麥當勞的漢堡其實不好吃，只是來了美國不試試當地的口味不是很可惜，才說服她們休息一個晚上不要煮飯。
Craig's Cousin Ishan turned one month old on Friday Sept. 18. Apart from one trip out to eat pizza the postnatal care team had eaten Chinese food at home for almost every other meal. Craig's Mum suggested a hamburger meal to celebrate. At first, Craig's Taiwanese Grandma and Great Aunt From the Fifth Floor both objected on the grounds that McDonalds hamburgers can be found all over Taiwan. Craig's Mum explained that it was not the less-than-delicious McDonalds burgers that she was suggesting and that it would be a shame to go all the way to the US without trying some of the local cuisine. That convinced the two older ladies to give their kitchen skills a rest for one evening.

逵革的小阿姨和姨丈帶我們到一家叫"Red Robin"的漢堡及牛排店。
Craig's Aunty Bess and Uncle Amitha suggested a steak and hamburger place called Red Robin.


逵革坐著塗鴉，高興地等待他最喜愛的薯條。
Craig sat and did his usual graffitti style drawing while waiting for his favourite food, chips (French fries to our North American friends.)

逵革吃著他最愛的薯條，一根接一根，
Chips really are Craig's favourite food at the moment and on this night he ate them one after another very happily.

再一根，他幾乎不在意週遭發生的任何事，同時坐在對面的姑婆和阿嬤一直稱鑽她們的魚堡很好吃，薯條也很棒。
In fact Craig was so happy eating his chips that he didn't seem to care what was happening around him. Craig's Taiwanese Grandma and Great Aunt From the Fifth Floor who were sitting opposite gave plenty of compliments about their fishburger and chips.

當然小表弟Ishan也有來，只是他還小無法享受美食，他又像以往出門一樣安靜的睡在推車裡。
Craig's Cousin Ishan was also there even if he was a bit too small to enjoy the high cuisine on offer. He was as quiet as he normally is whenever taken out and slept peacefully in his pram.
