Food.Fun.Stuff: Guess Who's Back??

We've missed you guys!! JKGF readers, we have been MIA (*translation=Missing In Action) because we were in....China! So many stories, pictures and food, of course, to share with you all. Now for the picture part...you know you're going to have to be patient with us, as we are the not camera savvy folks over here;-) (*see Disclaimer) However, we can tell you the top 5 things we learned while on our adventures in China:

1. Learn Chinese (at least some...or have a really good language book on hand...), not just to conversate and get cabs, but you're gonna need it to bargain everywhere!
2. Bring tissue with you everywhere (the squatting toilet seats can take you for a loop ladies when you first arrive...)
3. Coca Cola, coffee and tea (*ohh and that Chinese beer everyone likes) is served everywhere! (You'll always fulfill the caffeine fix;-)
4. Learn how to use chop sticks...for a foodie this is essential because if you don't learn how to use them, you probably won't be eating much (*We can count on one hand how many forks and knives we saw in a two week period...)
5. Store up energy and be prepared to drinks lots and lots of tea...for us at JKGF the tea part was wonderful, finding the energy after learning about the 11 hour time difference was the hard part...

All in all, China was awesome, huge and an absolute food fest! Although we must admit, we kinda missed American Chinese food (*Translation: Chinese food served in America is totally different from what is actually served in China)...;-)
