Please Sir May I Have S'more?

Much as the famed writer Charles Dickens had a gift for words, so do we here in Changzhou have a gift….with food. ;) Being here, you begin to appreciate things you always took for granted back home. Such as soft grass, western toilets, and carpet to name a few. So one night we decided to get a little creative and pay homage to one of our favorite pastimes: making s’mores. Ashley received a package from a friend of hers whose family lives here in China.
In it, among other things, were some yummy sweet crackers, a symphony chocolate bar and marshmallows.
Now the only cooking facilities we have access to are three microwaves and a toaster oven. We opted for the microwave. So we gathered in our wash room around our “campfire” and had the funnest 45 minutes ever.
Especially when Ashley almost exploded her marshmallows and Luis almost burned his tongue off haha. It was a blast and I discovered that you really can use a microwave for just about anything!

  1. I am very excited to read about your 10-day vacation. So far, I have found an expectant enjoyment, reading this blog. You pick little details and big pictures out from your travels that make me smile. Such as the S'more example, which was fun to read.

    Anywho, best of wishes, and I'm looking forward to hearing about The Venice of China...

    If I ever... WHEN I go to China, I will be looking back on this blog. Enough said. (written).
