I have the best language partner ever! Be jealous!

Her mom has been making me special festival food (even though it's not
that time of year). This was so good! It's a little sweet- sticky rice
with meng beans or sesame paste. YUUUM. She also made me these little
white balls filled with what I think is sesame paste (it's black) that
tasted a lot like the mochi I had in Japan. I think I should plan ahead
to load up on sushi and mochi in the Narita airport before I leave Asia.
There's no question, I'm living in Asia for at least part of my life.
Think of the cheap nannying I could get! Rash and occasional runs to
Jenny Lou's for cottage cheese and wholewheat bread aside, Chinese food
is REALLY GOOD. It's so greasy though- I haven't figured out how Chinese
girls manage to stay so skinny???
