After the test, I went grocery shopping at Carrefour, where I spent lest that 30 USD on all the ingredients (plus some) for a really good American meal. I wouldn't have spent over 100 RMB, but a stick of butter is almost $5 and a pack of cheese is over $7. Oh well, it was worth.
So tonight, I cooked American food for my host parents. I worked with what I had (which didn't include an oven), and it turned out pretty well.
Me teaching Aunt Pan how to cook American style.
A true American meal: Chicken with cheese and mushroom sauce; sauteed zucchini, tomato and onion; potato cakes and Budweiser. Mmmm...
At least they liked it :) I did, too...makes me miss home a little bit more, but as Momma reminded me today: 56 days until I get back to 美国!
After dinner, we all sat down and watched House of Flying Daggers, one of my favorite movies ever made. Bravo Zhang Yimo. And Zhang Zi-Yi, if you're reading this, I'm single.
Now, I'm drinking warm milk with honey (this host family is perfect, in case you were asking), and I'm about to hit the sack a little early.
On a side note, please be proactive on October 24. I won't go into the details about what 350 means because you can read it here on 350.org's website. Climate change is real, and the time has passed where we can sit around and watch people make a difference on the news. Even if it means going out and picking up trash around the road in front of your house, or buying a recycling bin (and using it!), October 24 needs to mean something.

looks like a pretty good meal! did they like it?
so you can cook for us when you get home (after I fill you up with good southern cooking that is) yep 56 days to go. Love you and see you soon.
btw those chickens or whatever with the sticks stuck through their neck didn't look overly appetizing to me haha
