Times are tough all over. A lot of us have watched our retirement savings shrivel away, some of us have lost our jobs, and one in five (soon to be one in four) homeowners owes more on their mortgage than their house is worth. The immediate economic future isn't looking too bright. But fear not! I am here with happy financial news:
Neil and I have discovered how we can have dinner for two for $3.19. $3.19. Value has spoken to us, and her name is Double Dragon.
Neil and I have known the cheapness of Double Dragon for a while; we often split an order of General Tso's chicken (half an order is still almost too much), paying about $8 for the entree and an extra eggroll in addition to the one it comes with. Our latest discovery, however, is that our very own Germantown Chinese take-out establishment will sell us two two-cup containers of soup - I favor egg drop, while Neil likes hot and sour - for $3.19. We found this out recently when we waited too late in the day for lunch and didn't want to ruin our appetites for dinner. I'd been craving egg drop, and we thought soup sounded like a good snack. Both soups ended up being hearty and plentiful enough to serve as meals on their own. We just had them again tonight and we continued to marvel over the fact that we got dinner for $3.19!
(And as if that weren't enough, Neil also got the following fortune in his cookie: "A man's best possession is a sympathetic wife." Free sexism to boot!)

I freakin' love that place! Best Chinese take-out in town, hands-down - maybe some of the best Chinese in town, period! And the prices are amazing.
My friend is coming in rather late tonight from out of town and I was already thinking about getting some take-out from there. This sealed the deal.
I also like how in the restaurant there are all those signs stating "Not affiliated with other Double Dragons!!!" They know they are the best and don't want some inferior Double Dragon sullying their good name.
