i'm baaaack! despite my good intentions to blog while visiting the fam bam in china for the last three weeks, i failed and i blame it on the strict communist internet, my laziness and generally just feeling lethargic from the heat/humidity. i felt like i was being cooked in an oven.
but with that said, i want to turn your attention to the chinese's definition of fresh food. while we in the states get most of our produce and meat from grocery stores, the chinese go to their local markets and ish there is fresh. SO fresh that you can see the hearts still beating on the poor fish that have just been decapitated. it was when i witnessed this that i knew that what we'd be eating that night was fresh.
it may be gross for some, but it's just how it is. my cousin at dinner told me it must suck not being able to have 'fresh' chicken for dinner. and by fresh she meant go pick out a live one from the market and promptly have it killed for that night's meal. to which i replied, frozen really isn't all that bad, i swear ;)
anyway, some videos & fotos for your enjoyment. i use that term loosely...
