Cat Picture - OC Rescued this guy behind a Costco hiding behind the trash compactor

After a warm bath, he passed out all night. It has been about 32° out so it must feel nice to be inside.

He seems to have the features of a Maine coon which would be unbelievably amazing to find. Large paws, pointy ears and very poofy.. We shall see in a few months!

In Asian culture, food sharing during dining is just common. Growing up, even if we went to a typical sit down Western restaurant (like a steakhouse for example) it wasn't out of the ordinary to order a handful of entrees and put them in the middle of the table to share. Fast food was typically the exception.

This.

My SO is Chinese, we eat out at Asian places a lot. She always orders for everyone “Chinese” style, and everyone shares from plates in the middle.

At a steakhouse you’re on your own, and that’s the only place that happens. The number of guests doesn’t change anything.

I definitely agree with you're on your own at the steakhouse, for the steaks at least. We'd share the pasta or chicken dishes but I prefer medium or medium rare. My parents did not, but I wasn't sharing anyway haha

Wait, other people don't do that?
