Ned said to me this afternoon, "I don't think you realize how Chinese you are."
He was commenting on the fact that I now wear a pair of tights or leggings underneath my pants on cold days. The Chinese all wear a thin pair of leggings underneath pants, even if it isn't very cold. I think it also has to do with modesty. So now I wear leggings underneath my pants, without even thinking about it.
I also eat my leftover dinner for breakfast, just like the Chinese do.
I also eat every meal with salt vegetables. Notice the stringy, orange things in the picture above??
yup, that's them.
These salt vegetables are cut fermented potatoes (i think) with garlic, sesame seeds and some hot spice (hence the red color).
I buy big fresh bags of salt vegetables from the deli at the supermarket for about 10 cents a kilo. I eat them with everything, at nearly every meal. This morning I ate 2 hard boiled eggs with salt vegetables for breakfast. (I also eat a lot of eggs because John the Chicken Farmer supplies them free from his father's farm).
I ate them today at lunch with rice and vegetables.
I don't eat salt vegetables with my oatmeal, though.
I love salt vegetables, and I've decided that my dream is to make and sell mason jars of homemade salt vegetables at farmer's markets, and wear a straw hat, and a summer dress and have my sweet little pug snoozing underneath the shade of the table.
