The as-usual festive array of unpre- dictable Chinese dishes were many ... This one was a 10-course affair that included mostly entrees ... and more than enough for everyone to take home. The 10 courses, along with various condiments, came on a large revolv- ing tray, as folks at the table like Jane and Steve Raitt selected without hav- ing to pass the food around. The entertainment was quite dif- ferent ... Young lass Kim Murley told about and played Chinese and Amer- ican instruments, including the ham- mered dulcimer she performed with on the streets of Taiwan during her year there ... It was fun listening to her ... especially playing Irish melodies with a Chinese twist.
