...buying groceries that I don't really understand or know how to cook

I was feeling a bit badly for you when I read this. Sounds like a struggle - exhausting. Then I saw the photos of your Mother's Day beach expedition. I don't feel bad for you anymore. Stop whining and go to the beach...everyday!
ReplyDeleteStop whining... who's the tough love friend? It's the 1st time that I have read your blog... Jules sent it to me. I love it. I can remember the 3 days we spent in Beijing and 3 days was enough of chinese food. Hopefully, they have a Chinese/Expat version of Zaggat to help you through the maze.- Monique
