Drive, no walk-through breakfast.



I've been eating these flat, thin cakes or pastries in the morning on the way to work. These two ladies have a portable oven that they keep going for two or three hours every morning on a particular corner. They kneed the dough, then mix in a savory mixture of some kind, then crack an egg on top of a few of them. The plain ones are .5 yuan, the ones with eggs are 1 yuan. I usually have two, so my breakfast costs about $.25. There're kindof oily (vegetable oil), so I'm going to try some of that rice stuff (I think it's called 'congee', but I'm not sure if that's Chinese) next week to get some variety.

Hi Israel,
I commented yesterday, but being a novice at blogging, my comments were posted lower by your original message. I think I understand it better now since I experimented a little with my own new blog. So check out what I wrote in my first comment, and I'll talk to you later. You are in my prayers, Charles

Hey there, when are you going to write more. This is really interesting. I wrote a comment the other day but couldn't remember my login stuff. I'm here now. This really makes me want to go back overseas. I'm glad you're documenting it so well. Love you.

Thanks for the comments. This'll help me make time to stay up-to-date. I've got a bunch of photos I'm going to uploading tonight so more cool stuff coming soon. I now, temporarily, live across the hallway from my office so this'll be much more convenient.
