#Nuts to You!

Hmmmmmm.  I ❀this brand of nuts from #China. They are probably the best almonds, pistachios, etc. I’ve ever had.  
But ‘CRAB ROE’ and ‘BROAD BEANS-beef’ flavored?. . . . I’m gonna have to think about that for a minutes

#Chinese Snacks!

Awww… my students brought me some #Chinese snacks for movie day in class 😜❀  #lovemystudents

Look Familiar?

Not to be confused for ‘#Ritz’ crackers 😜  These are the Fooky Rizl’s. πŸ˜‚

#Rose Tea – The #Herbs of China

However despite my mistaken belief that they loved #EnglishTea , I have since learned that the actually prefer #herbal teas.  This box for sal at the local supermarket is full of #roses for #rosetea. They also like #lavender tea, #chamomile, #jasmine, and others.  Makes the #cafe very fragrant!

Chinese #IceCream – You can have mine :p

​

The #Chinese concept of #icecream and my idea of a delicious treat are not the same πŸ˜‚ This was a Chinese popsicle my student likes – green tea with a red bean filling.  Somehow not quite the same as good old fashioned Chocolate 😜

Real #American Breakfast

​A real #American breakfast!  πŸ΄  In #China, donuts that taste like real donuts and CHEESE! are so hard to come by. We’ll pay a fortune just for a good old-fashioned meal once in a while. The Chinese usually eat soup, dumplings, fried bread, or salad for breakfast, which isn’t my cup of tea. But we’re staying at the Hilton for a couple days – in China, the nice hotels have both an American and a Chinese buffet – makes for quite the array!  πŸ™‚
