China Chat

Jiajia has cake and eats it, too! The word of the day is “cake“ 蛋糕 “dan gao”. It’s delicious, but Chris’s tummy says, ” No, thank you“.

The word of the day is “banana”. 香蕉 “xiang jiao”.  We give a “Lucky One” update and decide to be patient (yes, Chris. That means you!).

Jiajia and Chris extol the deliciousness of fermented tofu, revisit red flower oil, and talk about shortening attention spans.

Typhoons Saudel, Zitan and Janravi are all on their way toward China. Chris and Jiajia order a toilet trainer for Lucky and Tommy whines so much, she gets to sit on the couch.

Chris and Jiajia talk about their air conditioning woes, Jiajia is shocked by Chris’ choice of words and they discuss how to say “pie” and “tart” in Chinese.

Jiajia and Chris give a Lucky update, talk about tricks and tips in taking in a stray animal, and how Charlie claimed Tommy as his dog. 

Jiajia took a spill after tripping on the dog gate and Chris gives him tons of advice on what to do. She loves it when she gets a chance to be bossy! 

Cherries and Jiajia talk about pomegranates, perfect rice, tofu wrappers and the history of the sandwich. Obviously they’re hungry as evidenced by their stomachs growling in the background. 

Jiajia reminisces about growing up and not always making the wisest decisions. Chris agrees wholeheartedly and says they’re both lucky to be alive. 

Once a week Jiajia talks about fishing, and today’s the day! Chris wonders if fish have lunch at noon and the back of Tommy’s head makes a special guest appearance on the video feed!
