I have been working on some simple but delicious dinner plans to make my life easier.
The 3rd one is my favorite, The last one is my second choice only because it's a bit less unique.
Lost in translation.
Ramen noodle soup for me. Whenever I am "American food out", a bowl of steamy Ramen noodle soup can always put my stomach at ease. I remember 3 months after I came to America, mk took me to northern Michigan, where we spent an entire week in a cottage with his family. Three days past by, I started freaking out with the overload of pork roast, beef roast, bacon and so on, since that was the first time I haven't touched Chinese food for days. Not to mention that I am a borderline vegetarian since I don't like meat too much. So we ran to Walmart and bought some instant noodle, that saved my life. After that I am good with pork roast for another 3 days. Now I refuse to co-habitate with them without the instant noodle in my suitcase. It's interesting how our palates evolve, now I can have American food for a long time without a melt-down. I actually enjoy a lot of them now, still not the meaty stuff too much.
I was wondering that because I recognized all the Chinese ingredients. I bet it's from southern China.
Hmmm, that's a strange concept. But I've learned not to impose my own bias against any strange ideas when it comes to food, quite often they are the ones that shockingly please your taste buds.One time I had some pickled shrimp, and pickled stawberries at a local restaurant. I frowned upon the concept before I tried them, but they were abosolutly delicious!! I will give this a try.
Thanks, NotPhil! mk bought bacon yesterday. He is excited to try it, and I am excited to eat it. We'll let you know how it turns out.
I am very impressed. It has a very good dynamic. The background music is perfect. I am a fan now.
I always have mixed feelings about China's development. It's great to see my own country's economic power is getting stronger and stronger, but in the midst of it, it always seems there are something genuine being lost. Maybe it's just me being nostalgic.
Best of luck to you!
One day I was having Tom Waits fever, I bought multiple of his albums and listened to him all day long, and I got really sick of him by the end of the night. I took a break from him for awhile, recently the fever has slowly come back again.
