Today Jodie, Louie and I went to Shenzhen to go to IKEA and Metro. I got some things for our home that weren’t too Chinese-ey. Metro is like a Cosco or Sam’s Club and is the only place to find some International (American) favorites. Unfortunately they didn’t have Cinnamon Toast Crunch or Cheerio’s. I got some imitation Cheerio’s and we’ll see how that goes…I am picky about my cereals. I did buy some other snacks and butter (very expensive in China).
When I got home I decided to go to the grocery store to pick up things for dinner (I know I should have just gotten things in Metro, but we live right behind a food store…so it’s easy). I picked out what I hoped was Chicken Breast (it was!), you never know here, some fresh veggies and a bag of sugar. I came back to “clean” the vegetables. I was told to soak them in salted spring water to really clean them, rinse them in spring water and then dry them off. I cleaned the chicken breast and made stir fry and a salad. The simple meal took about 1 ½ hours (including cleaning veggies). I have a feeling taking care of things at home can be a full time job, even without kids.
