On New Year's Eve, we went for a walk at Garden of the Gods. It was a freezing cold day, so our walk was short, but fun! We decided to brave the cold because frankly, we were so sick of being stuck in the house! Snow, colds, and strep throat for three of us have kept us housebound for some time. The kids were driving each other nuts and taking Joel and I along for the ride, so a day out was just the thing. Afterward, we went to a Chinese food buffet. Eli was thrilled, and the rest of us enjoyed it as well. The highlight of the meal came when Joel and the kids were enjoying authentic "chicken on a stick" or "chick-a-bob" as Emma dubbed them. Eli took a bite and signed that it was good. Then, he signed that it was cat meat. Then he reiterated how much he was enjoying the cat meat. Ack! Yikes! Since we had the same snack many times in China, and he knew it was chicken there, we decided that it must have been the amount of meat on the stick that threw him off. In China, there was usually alot more stick than chicken. The Chinese Buffet was more liberal with the chicken . . . because it couldn't have been cat . . . right?
I hope your New Year is blessed!
Love,
Jen
