The #German Metro #market has every jelly known to man (plum, prune, marmelade, strawberry, apple, blackberry, raspberry. . . . ) All of them EXCEPT Grape! The one I like. The one that is EVERYWHERE in America but the #Chinese have never heard of. I miss grape jelly! PBJ is not the same without it. 😭 Met a guy from the #Netherlands the other day, he had never heard of grape jelly either. What is wrong with the world! 😱 Grape jelly is a staple! A foundational part of biscuits and #breakfast!
Strange #salad at the steakhouse the other night 😜 Back in #America when I was a kid, we use to blow in the leaves and make ‘#toad bellies’. 😂 Had no idea you could #Eat them!!!
Delicous treasure from one of my adorable students today – another gave me some Bon Bons. Since I had to work on #thanksgiving (not a Holiday abroad 😭), this was quite the treat!

Scrabble night at the #university! The #Chinese students first time ever – we hosted a big #competition! 😃 They had a ton of fun – one group earned 38 points in a turn!

Making yummy #Snickerdoodles for the 8 #proctors of my #exam today 😊 320 students, 4 classrooms, one exam. Go #microeconomics students!!! Fighting!! Jiayou!
Totally awesome haunted house tonight. So proud of my juniors! All by themselves, they planned and put the party on. The 3rd and fourth floors had been transformed. Piles of leaves all through the halls and rooms, scattered chair overturned for the ‘abandoned effect’! The classrooms were amazing – evil butcher room with the creepy guy chopping bloody stuff; creepy dead bride in her red wedding dress, ghosts everywhere including up in the window ledges – they’d jump from the ceiling to scare people. 😱👻 People hiding under tables or in fabric screens would grab your feet 😂 I loved it! Such a great job!
#Pork and #Potatoes with #fried lotus root in a sweet and sour Sauce at a local #Korean Restaurant. Yes, That’s the root of the #lotus flower (water lily) -very delicious!!
