Just a few funnies to post for the day...already and it's not even noon yet. Xander's diaper was out of control this morning and he got a bath before breakfast, hence the diaper-only shot. I love Emma's striped "footie" jammies and rock star glasses look!Yesterday I explored our street market in the alleyway next to our house. It was bustling with activity early in the morning and was so exciting. I bought some fruits, veggies, some pork tenderloin and a whole chicken! Helena Lopez from Beijing taught me how to shop for meat out of the street markets - thank you Helena! Anyway, they laughed at me when I had them chop off the neck and head and then teased me a little "are you sure you don't want to buy any of the organs?" - they had piles of organs on plates sorted by type...lovely! So this morning I was rubbing the chicken down with salt to clean it and I realized that the chicken still had feet. I'm just not used to seeing that on a chicken. The tendons are still attached so when you move the legs the toes flex out and everything...creepy! Emma was fascinated and grossed out at the same time. She asked me why it had a purple-ink stamp on the skin? (Kind of like our FDA approved label). I told her it meant that this chicken was good. She said "it means this chicken didn't run away?" I could just see the wheels turning in her head - yes, we're eating an obedient chicken who followed all the rules and played nicely on the playground. : ) I'm still laughing at her cuteness.
