Guilin, Friday Morning

If you were getting tired of historical monuments and city life, Guilin is for you: it's a city surrounded by stunning natural beauty. Today is for hiking, and riverboat cruising. Well, after we stuff ourselves with dim sum down in the hotel breakfast buffet.

"I'll be happier once we get to eat these, though." Their super amazing dumplings.

The chef muttered something that sounded a lot like "no one else will eat them" in Mandarin.

"Yeah, I'm starving," Steve said predictably.

Tony handed him a protein bar. Because he was the mom friend and also he felt he learned his lesson from that one time they were stuck in the apocalypse. "Steamed?" he asked brightly.

No one needs hangry Steve twice. He took the protein bar with a smile of thanks. "Steamed is probably safer than fried."

"We might get banned from the place." Or country. Possibly the country.

Definitely the country. They liked to live large.

"So let's steam them," Steve said, looking at his sad little mountain of dumplings-if-you-squinted.

They had dumpling filling! They had that going for them.

"And we can try the teacher's dumplings so we know where we need to work harder."

Was it on everything? Because everything was probably what they needed to improve.

They had nowhere to go but up! They could have a training montage of them improving.

"His look really good," Steve admitted sheepishly.

"I will love trying yours." And it wasn't... too likely that he'd get food poisoning.

"Less so since you took me to a Cheesecake Factory." Still traumatized by that place, Steve.

Steve laughed. "Think they have Chinese dumplings?"

They will throw you out of China for asking that, Steven.

"They have something--probably mac and cheese--in a dumpling container," Tony granted him.

While looking horrified at the thought of it.

Steve made a face. "That sounds disgusting."

He'd eat it, though.

"And very American." Bastardizing food non-stop.

Steve snickered. "That's right, I said it. Leave Chinese dumplings alone, America."

"Fox News will hear about this," Tony informed him, hand to his chest like he might faint from the shock of it.

"Oh, they'll think I don't like them because it's Asian food and they're all huge racists," Steve said.

"Or that you're fighting the liberal agenda of multiculturalism." Both were super likely.

"Just wait until they see you try to eat sushi," he teased, watching the chefs place the steamer basket on a water filled wok.

"You've shamed the whole US, Steve!" Tony admonished, smiling along with him. "Next you'll say you enjoy Middle Eastern food."
