It’s Freezing (literally)

When temperatures hit -32C (about -25F), the inside of my pantry window turns into #art!

No, but seriously, I have about an inch of #ice INSIDE my window. My refrigerator pantry turned into a walk-in freezer. All my #fruit froze 😭❄️

Chibi Panda!

😂😂😂 #chibi #panda!! Couldn’t help myself, he was very fun to draw even if he isn’t very well drawn. But he makes me happy!😊😍

Camo for #Food

Looks like a mushroom. Acts like a mushroom. Is a Bread Roll. Silly food. . . .

Ewwww

One of the daily issues of life in #China is that they don’t clean the Eggs before you get them. So you gotta get the poop off before you can stick ’em in the fridge. These Eggs actually came from #Walmart and were in a real #Egg cart😮 Usually you gotta pick ’em out of a giant pile by hand 😺

Homemade Pizza!

First ever #homemade #pizza!!!! Made from scratch and pretty impressive if I say so myself. #China does not seem to believe in pizza #sauce since none of their pizza have much if any. They have a tendency to just throw #cheese on the dough without. So, tonight (to celebrate end of the #semester), I decided to try at a REAL (Okay, fairly recognizable) pizza-ish pizza! Came out yummy!🍕

#Chinese Salad

For the Inner #rabbit in us all.  This was one of the #veggie dishes served the other night.  Just lettuce and #Chinese chives and cucumbers.  Actually nice to see Veggies after being stuck with fast Food for a while 😜  This is the closest China really gets to salad…

No Smoking

We’re still a little stumped by this one.  About 8 #cigarette holders were on the table, filled with water and #nosmoking signs🚭.  

Ok, I get the ‘no smoking’ 🚭. . . . but then why put out 8 cigarette holders🚬 at all???  If to SAY no smoking, wouldn’t one do the job?😂

They took up a lot of table space, and we were all just rather perplexed 😜

#Smoking Snowman

Apparently the delivery guys at #KFC were feeling cold yesterday. ⛄️❄️  Temps are getting towards -23C

Not sure how much help he’s gonna be today. . . . . 😜

I love that he’s still got his #cigarette 😂  

#Baking in China – Apple Pie!

Viola! I make a mean #ApplePie if I say so myself. Little more difficult to do in #China; but still. . . . came out delicious!   People at work appreciate it 😜

This is my face about 90% of the time while living abroad 😜
