Asian Buffet is Now Open

As you know Rod and Danielle are headed out to dinner with the family.  This was the perfect time to open the Asian Buffet restaurant.  It is still a work in progress.

The restaurant is very popular already after only a week of being open.

Here is the lobby.  Still needs some work.

Looks like they have a water leak in the lobby ceiling.  They will have to get that fixed.

Looking into the restaurant.

Now for a little story:
"How are you guys doing over here?" (Waitress)
"Just fine."  (Chris)
"Mommy, I need something to drink."  (Jolisa)
"After you eat some of your food, we will get you a drink."  (Kara)

Dad, half owner of Asian Buffet, is checking out the buffet.  
Note:  This buffet will feature all Chinese/Asian food when I get a chance to make it.  The buffet hood is a plastic cover that came on my take out sushi.  The rope may be changed to metal chains in the future.

"So when is Mr. McGraw arriving?"  (Kara)
"I have to pick him up from the airport in two days."  (Chris)

"So how many songs did you write for him?"  (Kara)
"I have about eight so far.  I am hoping to get at least two or three on the new album."  (Chris)

"Daddy are you going to see the planes?" (Jolisa)
"I'm just going to the airport.  I won't be there long."  (Chris)
"Can I go see the planes?"  (Jolisa)
"Not this time, honey.  But I will take you soon."  (Chris)

The Langford sisters are having dinner.  Jacquelyn, the oldest sister, is just back from vacationing in Egypt.
Note:  This is Jacquelyn, not to be confused with Jackie, who owns the bridal shop.   There are also two Dominique's.  This one was named first.  The other Dominique arrived with her name, and it was so perfect, I didn't change it.  As in real towns there are often people with the same/similar names.

"Okay Dad, I will be back tomorrow to do the books.  Everything has gone pretty smooth this week."  (Daughter)
"Okay.  We need to keep the advertising going strong."  (Dad)
"I know. I've also starting planning a family gathering here to celebrate the restaurant opening."  (Daughter) 

"So honey, I have gotten quite a few new sponsors for my upcoming charity event."  (Mrs. Anderson)
"That's great honey.  When is the event again?"  (Dr. Anderson, local dentist)
"I swear honey, I don't think you ever listen to me.  I have told you at least ten times when the event is."  (Mrs. Anderson)
"I'm sorry.  I just have a lot on my mind."  (Dr. Anderson)

"So what's going on with you and Kevin?"  (Jackie)
"We are doing much better.  Mom and Dad don't know this yet, but he has moved in with me and Courtney."  (Grace)
"So is there any talk about getting married, or are you guys still unsure of the relationship."  (Jackie)
"Believe it or not, he is the one talking about it.  I just need to be sure."  (Grace)

"Dillon, finish up, hon.  We need to scoot soon."  (Mrs. Anderson)
"I'm finished.  I'm stuffed."  (Dillon)

"How many?"  (Waitress)
"Just two."  (Cassandra)
"Right this way."  (Waitress)

"Well dinner is on me.  We have to get together again soon.  I missed you guys."  (Jackie)

"Thanks for dinner."  (Grace and Dominique)
"You know we need to have one of our old fashioned pajama parties.  Remember those?  They were so much fun."  (Dominique)
"I'm sure that can be arranged.  Give me time to recoup from my vacation."  (Jackie)

"Hello sir.  How many?"  (Waitress)
"We have six."  (Rod)
"Okay.  We have about a ten minute wait."  (Waitress)
"No problem."  (Rod)

This is setting us up for the next video with the new Taylor family and Nicole going home to Melanie.  Stay tuned!

  2. Nice to see a new restaurant with a full house. The food must be appetizing. Hope they are able to repair the water leak soon!

    I like the way you are able to repurpose things, i.e. the cover of your sushi takeout used for the buffet hood.

    I am looking forward to viewing the Taylor family video.

    1. DBG - Good to get this restaurant open. I really want to show a few more of my Asian dolls. Chinese buffet restaurants were my favorites until I gave up buffets.

      Can you believe I have another Taylor family. Goodness. They will be referred to as Rod and Danielle, mostly.

    1. jewel snake - Thanks! I've always wanted to go to Egypt. I've considered doing some photos. It's one of those projects that might keep getting put on the back burner. Let's hope not.

  10. I like the new restaurant ... its spaciousness and the FOOD! Also like the idea of an Egyptian story line. I'd wanted to be an archaeologist when I was a teenager. Dig up treasures from Ancient Egypt ... sigh. But the reality of sifting through dirt and the heat kept me stateside. Shrug.

    New families, new characters. Fun!

    Thanks for sharing.

    1. D7ana - We needed a nice big restaurant here. What Egyptian story line? She just went to Egypt. That's it! LOL!!!

      Actually, all of those families have been introduced before and all have shown up in videos. They just made their reappearance to keep them in the fold.

    1. Heather - Sorry to make you hungry so early in the morn. Our Asian buffet is about 3 miles from my house. Too close for comfort.

  12. Looking good! Mmm, just had Chinese last night. The foil containers in the buffet are so cute!!!

    1. Vita Plastica - Maybe my blog was sending out vibes to you. I'm sure it was good. That's just a makeshift buffet. I plan to do one in silver. But the foil pans are staying!

  13. Hey Vansessa! Yesterday was my birthday and i turned 13. I had my dollhouse since I was seven. When I was ten I said I was too big for barbie so we threw away all my furniture and dolls. Do you know any stores where i can buy barbie couches and beds and stuff? Thank you!

    1. GoldenRay - Happy belated birthday. Target and Walmart still have playsets occasionally. If you are able to order on ebay, that is probably the best place to find Barbie doll furniture for good prices.

    2. Golden Ray,

      You can also watch My Froggy Stuff on You Tube to learn how to make furniture and rooms for your dolls.

  14. Hello from Spain: I like the new Asian restaurant. The bathroom door is very real. I also really like the sisters Langford. I have your Dillon but I have no clothes for him. Ms. Anderson is very attractive. I love her pink coat. Keep in touch

    1. Marta - Thanks. My Dillon doesn't have a lot of clothes. I made him and Tyler a few things, but I need to make more. Mrs. Anderson is one of the new Barbie Basic 3.0 dolls.

  18. Beautifully designed restaurant. I love the atmosphere...especially the tables, chairs, food and artwork. This was also a great way to catch up on the lives of many people in one place at one time. This new restaurant will be very successful. Looking forward to their family reunion.

    Also looking forward to the pajama party...they are always fun. (pillow fights???)

  20. Very nice! I would eat here. It's been a long time since I've been to a buffet. I think it was a Shoney's but they've gone out of business around here. :(

  21. Cool restaurant! Looking forward to the video. Your polymer clay food always looks very realistic but Dollar Tree has also been selling wacky erasers that look like Asian foods. They might work well until you get a chance to make your own food.

    1. limbe dolls - Thanks! I will have to take a look at Dollar Tree. I'm curious to see what they look like. I need to just make the food, because it needs to be in my Etsy store anyway.

      Thanks for giving GoldenRay the FroggyStuff info. I normally suggest that, too. I must have had a brain freeze.
