Well since I have moved to China, I have missed a few...ok maybe a lot of American things. One of the things I don't understand is why they don't sell Clorox wipes. My friend Sara laughs at me because, I talk about them constantly. I just don't understand with so many unsanitary things why they wouldn't want Clorox wipes to help with the problem. Well last weekend a lady from our church told us about a store that sells American items. I thought it was a store far away, but it ended up being right down the street from Jake's school. It is called Times Grocery Store, when I walked in I wanted to cry. It had marshmallows, Mexican food, cereal, and yes CLOROX wipes. They were 91 quai (about 13 dollars), but it was worth the money. I came home and cleaned our house thoroughly, wiping down the bathroom, floor, sinks, table, etc... While we were there, we found tortillas and cheese. Jake also found Dr. Pepper, which he decided that if he knew they sold that, he would have been going there daily during school.
Well on Sunday, we decided to try and make cheese quesadillas. We didn't really have a frying pan, so we used this pot. I left the tortilla for about 10 seconds and realized a nasty burning smell coming from the stove. So we ended up burning our tortillas, burning the Spanish rice (it wasn't at all edible), but we took Elder Wirthlin's advice and just laughed at the whole experience. So our costly spurge at the grocery store wasn't as great as we imagined after trying to cook the food here:)

Yay for American grocery stores!? So Jake would rather have Dr Pepper than minty sprite? Weird...
You're living in China and trying to make a quesadilla... What would Napoleon Dynamite say to that one.
Whatever I wanna say, GOSH!
Wow the things we take for granted here! I would want to cry too! You should just have me send you stuff that you are craving--not sure if a quesadilla woudl make it in the mail but I am willing to give it a shot!
:) Glad you are doing well!
