Valentine's Dinner
For Valentine's day, annie and I went to Nouvelle Bistro in Fremont. The self-proclaimed ''Asian fusion'' cuisine in a fixed menu format was pretty good for a Fremont eatery. Here in Fremont , we're usually only exposed to the typical green-carpet-brass-fixture chain restaurant like Olive Garden or Sweet Tomatoes or patrons'-mean-age-above-60 stuffy old restaurants like Papillon or Massimo's.
Nouvelle Bistro is one of the best attempts at an upscaley Chinese restaurant that I've seen since we went to Sino restaurant at Santana Row. But even
so, you still can't help but to think that they're just *trying* to be an excellent gourmet restaurant in the same vein as Manresa instead of just *being* one.

Here is a picture they took of us as a fun souvenir.

when the place first opened, my brother ordered a rare filet mignon and my friend ordered a "well done" (do they even ask how to cook it for fish) salmon, and they cooked my brothers well done and his rare, and my friend had diarehea.
So, Eric Liu said that in your Sunday Lessons, that suicide is not a sin, but I concur and so does Kerman and Michael. Explanatory Please.

The Nouvelle Bistro people asked Annie how she would like her filey mignon cooked but they didn't ask me.
Thankfully, they did a good jon on the meat regardless. I didn't get any diarhea... yet.
As far as suicide goes, I never said it wasn't a sin. Suicide *IS* a sin, but it isn't an unpardonable sin, as Catholicism teaches. According to Catholic teachings, once you commit suicide, you miss the opportunity to ask God for forgiveness and therefore that sin isn't forgiven when you are judged by God - leaving Him with no choice but to send you to hell or purgatory.
According to the Bible, however, once Jesus has paid the debt for your sins, ALL of your sins have been forgive; past, present and future.
You won't go to HELL for the sin of committing suicide, in an of itself. (Although, if someone claimed to be a saved Christian with the living Christ within them and still committed suicide, I would question the veracity of his claim.)
