We went out on our bikes this afternoon for a little loop around the block, ending up at the veggie lady behind the International Exchange College. She has excellent tofu and very fresh vegetables. For 3 1/2 yuan (about 50 cents) I got everything in the picture--that's about a pound of fresh tofu--which we'll have with steamed rice and red and yellow peppers for dinner tonight. The tomato is actually a gift from the veggie lady to Grace. (Grace gets lots of freebies wherever we go, because everyone is so taken with her. Yesterday about 6 clerks and the manager of the grocery store huddled around her as I was buying eggs and gave her a little motorcycle toy.) Anyway, we made it home and got our bikes stashed under cover just in time for a terrific fall thunderstorm. Nice and cozy and ready for dinner!

Yum! That sounds delicious.
Tonight, we're having stir fry in tribute of you guys in China.(:
Oh, I love that baby bok choy. Is the tofu better-tasting than what we get here in the states? I would imagine it as being much fresher and more flavorful.
Yes, the tofu is absolutely wonderful and it is super fresh--the lady cuts how much I want off of a big slab of tofu. And I am eating tons of baby bok choy, knowing that it is expensive and hard to find at home.
Where are those creamy ice cream bars?? Now I want one.....!
We're behind over here. I didn't realize people were commenting again - how great!
We've been listening to Five Children and It. Grace - the gift magnet - reminds me of the chapter where the children inadvertently wish for everyone to love the baby as much as they ought to - then every where they go that day people want to hug the "little lamb," keep him and give him treats.
