3 things that have totally made my first week back in Chengdu are as follows:
An ice maker! This is something totally frivolous that would have never even crossed my mind as something I would need in my 'old' life. Well, let me tell you! With a freezer the size of a shoe box, an ice maker has sure come in handy with temperatures in the high 30's, low 40's. Um yeah, it's hot!
Almost better than an ice maker are my ear buds. I can't hear anything once these puppies are in my ears! What a glorious thing walking through the dancing square where normally 300 people are dancing to three different songs but not anymore! In my head they are all dancing to my music! Its enough to bring a grin to my face...making me look like the crazy one of course! ;)
And lastly is this handy dandy little Starfrit hand food processor that my friend in Drayton Valley told me about. I am forever trying to cut up onions and peppers small enough to fool the hawk eyes of my kids and husband! Haha! Jokes on them now isn't it? I made bean and mushroom burritos for dinner tonight and used this thing to chop up the onions, peppers and mushrooms. Gone was the little trail of picked out items circling the rim of their plates. It was a thing of beauty! The only down side of course was that I had to pack this 'Made in China' item in my suitcase from Canada back to China because I'd never find it here! Some things are worth it!
Anything that has made your life easier this week?
