Weapons of Mass Consumption

While we were up in Seoul for the visa interview we ate at Bennigan's...more than once. Would you believe more than twice? We ate there as soon as we got off the train, stopped in for dessert one night, and also ate there after getting the visa! The "Death by Chocolate" dessert really did almost kill us - although two desserts between three people didn't seem excessive when we ordered them. (No, we're not counting Ben as one of the people - Grandma was still with us at that time.) On our third trip one of the waitresses helpfully gave Ben two balloons. Ben was delighted and proceeded to see how much of our meal he could pick up by whacking it with the balloons. We usually leave a precautionary swath of empty table around him because he manages to reach much further than it looks like he should be able to. Unfortunately the balloons extended his reach so that there was no safety zone. Needless to say, one of the balloons didn't make it back to the hotel, and the other one mysteriously missed the train.
