Back in Xiuning

As soon as we returned home, I was eager to start cooking again. I made scallion pancakes (葱油饼), a mom-made favorite.


They turned out really well!


Rae-Rae has grown even in a month. She has more of a personality now and talks more than ever.



Sometimes she eats with the boys.

Check out these adorable videos of Rae-Rae. Youku.com takes a long time to load, but bear with it.

I also made garlic knots! They're like breadsticks and perfect as appetizers.




I also told Doug about a cold dish that my mother makes with daikon radish, vinegar, and sugar. It's fresh and refreshing.


Aaron also made a side that resembles kimchi, the Korean pickled vegetables side.


Zoe also made chocolate pudding for dessert. Surprisingly, the ingredients are Xiuning-friendly. All it takes is a ton of milk and a lot of patience to stir it.

More to come! Welcome back to Xiuning!
