Our friend, Jeanne, loves raisin bread. So being the wonderful husband that he is Nelson bought a loaf when he saw some at a bakery. Having things that remind us of home is very comforting. She was excited about his thoughtfulness and decided to make french toast the next morning. She cooked it up and they sat down to eat. It wasn't raisin bread...it was bean bread! But she said, with lots of syrup on it , it wasn't too bad! It was a nice thought! Their bread is good if you get the right kind. I bought some delicious looking dinner rolls that had bean curd in them. It looks like poop, and has a nasty texture. Then I bought some other rolls that looked good and they were already sliced. They had pineapple jam(?) inside. The next day I stuck a piece of ham in one and had it for lunch.
If we buy Chinese items the prices are very cheap..watermelon for $.16 ...fruit and vegetables for under ad dollar. But when you buy American food at the American market you pay through the nose! A bag of
Fritos $5.46
Honey roasted peanuts $4.73
butter $3.56
syrup $3.99
Golden Crisp cereal $3.99
Popcorn 3 pack $5.32
shredded wheat $6.65
Bunches of Oats $6.65
When we go to Beijing we always try to stock up on important things, like Fritos and cereal. But I just found a place in Tianjin that will deliver, and the prices are comparable. That would be better than hauling our suitcase all over Beijing full off food!
Have a good Sunday. We're thinking about you all !! Love Mom
