Today I am taking 8 boxes of things I have "edited" to the thrift store. So far I have not had any second thoughts about the things I have let go. I have sorted flower vases, candle holders, dishes and Christmas stuff. When I am in the basement, I say to myself, "What was I thinking when I bought this?" A lot was from garage sales, but still what was I thinking?
Gerry has pretty much recovered from his trip to China. He really did have his days and nights mixed up, not unlike what a baby does at times. Ha! He talked a lot about the food there: fish heads, eyes, cow stomach, and chicken feet. He is willing to try almost everything. I am sure my cooking is quite boring in contrast.
While Dad was game to try almost everything, I got the feeling that he was happy to have your "boring" food again.
ReplyDeleteThis reminds me that when A. first arrived at Maryland he shared accommodation with a Chinese student, who introduced him to delicacies such as chicken feet - not my idea of a feast!
ReplyDeleteat least this way if he ever complains about your cooking you have something to say back!
ReplyDeleteI can sympathize about the jet lag, every time we came back from Japan I felt like a complete zombie! Glad to hear that he enjoyed China. I, for one, actually like chicken's feet, but there are many things I tried in China that I would not be willing to eat a 2nd time, lol!
ReplyDeleteI've known a lot of US business folk who go to China on a regular basis that tell me feeding the round eye food they know would be considered weird here is quite the pass time among Chinese business folk.
