In Search of a Hamburger in China
I have been searching high and low for the past three months for a hamburger. Nothing special mind you, just a plain unsweetened bun with a ground beef patty in the middle. I’m even willing to skip the lettuce and tomato (thought it would be nice) and settle only for ketchup. Sound reasonable, right? After … Continue reading
Ginkgo Nuts
The other night we had the honor of being invited to a birthday celebration of a 6-year-old boy.

Tibetan Butter Tea
I have always been curious about Tibetan butter tea. I knew that many people said it was hard to drink and an acquired taste, but it’s just a sort of milk tea, right? How bad could that be? While in Yunnan Province I had my chance. Yunnan borders Tibet and there are many Tibetan people living there. … Continue reading
Hope Your Not Hungry…..
