Hello all,
Once again, I have failed at my blogging. I should be called the sporadic foodie... Anyway, I've made it to Shanghai and my foodiness has already gotten me some amazing experiences. My lovely host family is taking good care of me and has promised to teach me some of the ways of Chinese cooking. Thus far I've eaten toad, chicken feet, ma po dou fu, some random veggies, and the coveted `xiao long bao` literally some of the best dumplings in the world. I'm hopeful to experiment with the dumpling recipe back home, the key will be to see if I can get the soup correct...other than that, just enjoying the sights, people, and craziness that is Shanghai. My chinese is being put to use and I managed to survive the subway and bus today, all by myself. We'll see how I do tonight since it could be dark... ahhhh! oh well, more from me soon, but for now, google `xiao long bao` and see what you find. they're amazingly delicious!
