Hello China.

Crazy weekend, sitting in a swimming pool bleacher for 16 – 18 hours total! Needless to say, dinner-making wasn't going to happen for us this evening.

We usually love cooking on Sunday nights because we are all together with no activities. A calm family moment. Except for tonight. So, we called upon our native country restaurant for help... The Mandarin.

Ordered up Sesame Chicken, Kung POW Beef, Egg Rolls, Pot-stickers and Fried Rice Soup!  Yummo!

This week we're celebrating the Chinese New Year. It will be interesting. I bulked up the pantry with food for Elie just to play it safe, though she gobbled up tonights meal. Funny girl.

A funny story over the weekend. It seems that Elie has been sharing in her dislike of this meal game with some of her swimmer friends. So, as she and her friend Lindsey were pumping each other up to swim fast, she announced that if they didn't get a Q time (State qualifying time), then they would both have to eat food from Turkey this week... this experiment is at least creating conversation:)

So, it's time to gear up for dining in China this week. Love the food, though it will be tricky to time the meals with all activities this week. I may need to boil a big vat of rice to have on hand to save boiling time.

Always up for a challenge. Happy Is.
