When Lanhua first arrived in the US, we were somewhat concerned about what to feed her. Eight months later, we are pleased to report that Lanhua continues to acclimate to offerings of a Western diet. In addition to her Western diet of pizza, pasta, burgers and fries, she also enjoys sophisticated sushi (uni and oysters are among her favorites), most of the delicious and diverse offerings her dad makes for dinner, all that is shellfish, and just about anything that comes from her favorite local Asian market: 99 Ranch Market.
Last week we took a trip to 99 Ranch. Lan walked down every isle and tossed a number of random and mysterious selections into the grocery basket. This is a picture of some of the food Lanhua chose. Note: We have no idea what some of these foods are, nor do we know how to prepare them. These days, our kitchen is the place of many happy experiments.
Hi Steven, this is Ruth, your Chinese tutor. Waaa, i literally just spend 2 hours reading your blog. Haven't visited this blog for a while, so lots of things to catch up.
ReplyDeleteAll those words and pictures look so sweet. I am glad your family is having tons of fun, and Lanhua is grown to be a happy, cute girl.
It is so pleasant to read your blog, and I can even feel what Lanhua has experienced after she came to the States.
Hope everything is well, and wish Lanhua all the best!
